About this IDV
Buck Carothers, a Native American-owned small disadvantaged business, holds a multiple-award Indefinite Delivery Vehicle (IDV) contract with the National Interagency Fire Center for the provision of heavy equipment supporting wildland fire suppression and all-hazard incident response operations. Awarded on June 10, 2023, with a ceiling value of $250,000 and a performance period extending through June 10, 2028, this firm fixed-price IDV is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside under the Virtual Incident Procurement (VIPR) system. The contract covers the procurement and rental of specialized heavy equipment, including dozers and excavators, with operator support capabilities, specifically targeting the West Zone regions 5 and 6 of the U.S. Forest Service. The pre-solicitation opportunity was posted on February 15, 2023, with a submission deadline of March 31, 2023.
Subsequent to the IDV award, Buck Carothers executed a delivery order dated July 31, 2024, valued at $39,050 with a performance period concluding on August 10, 2024, issued by the Forest Service for heavy equipment services. This order, performed in Porterville, California, was competitively awarded without set-aside designation, demonstrating Buck Carothers' competitive positioning within the broader federal procurement landscape. The IDV and associated delivery orders enable rapid deployment of critical heavy equipment for emergency response activities across the western United States, with the government maintaining flexibility to onboard additional vendors during annual contract reviews, ensuring responsive support for fire suppression and incident management operations across multiple geographic regions.
