About this IDV

This federal contract IDV award from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's (USDA) U.S. Forest Service (USFS) is a multiple-award Indefinite Delivery Contract (IDC) valued at $250,000 for the provision of heavy equipment rental and operator services in support of forestry management, wildfire prevention, and suppression activities across USFS Regions 5 (Pacific Southwest) and 6 (Pacific Northwest). The prime contractor, Backwoods Equipment, Inc., a veteran-owned small business, has been issued several firm-fixed price delivery orders under this IDC ranging from $52,200 to $67,806 to supply equipment such as dozers, excavators, feller bunchers, mulchers, masticators, road graders, and skidders, along with certified operators, to assist with emergency incident response, wildland fire suppression, and prescribed forestry projects on federal lands. While no set-aside designations were used for the individual delivery orders, the overarching IDC was awarded as a small business set-aside. The period of performance for the IDC extends through June 2028, with the delivery orders having completion dates in 2023 and 2024.

The original pre-solicitation issued by the USFS indicates the agency's intent to competitively award multiple Incident Blanket Purchase Agreements (I-BPAs) for heavy equipment and operator services to support wildfire prevention, suppression, and all-hazard incidents across Regions 5 and 6. The solicitation specified that the I-BPAs would be set aside for small businesses, with further consideration given to socioeconomic status in the evaluation and selection process. Contractors are expected to provide all required equipment, materials, transportation, personnel, and management to meet the specifications outlined in the solicitation.
