Indefinite Delivery Contract 12569R23T8043

The key products and services being delivered under this federal Indefinite Delivery Contract (IDC) award from the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service are the provision of heavy earthmoving equipment and operators, such as dozers, excavators, and dump trucks, to support the agency's land management, wildfire prevention and response, and natural resource objectives across Regions 3, 5, and 6. The prime contractor, ACE Earthmoving, LLC, is a self-certified small disadvantaged business that holds three active IDCs with the Forest Service National Interagency Fire Center, each with a ceiling value of up to $250,000. These IDCs utilize total small business set-asides to facilitate the rapid procurement of critical earthmoving resources during severe wildfire events and other emergencies. The task orders issued to date under this IDC include firm fixed-price delivery orders ranging from $9,718 to $101,970 for the provision of equipment and personnel to support specific land management and response efforts in Oregon and California.

The original solicitation for this IDC, issued by the USDA Forest Service's Equipment & Services Contracting Branch, anticipates competitively awarding multiple Incident Blanket Purchase Agreements (I-BPAs) under a total small business set-aside. The intent is to establish a pool of qualified vendors that can provide heavy equipment and operators on-demand to support wildland fire suppression, severity operations, and all-hazard incident response across the western U.S. regions. The contracts will leverage the Virtual Incident Procurement (VIPR) system for rapid task order issuance, enabling the Forest Service to efficiently obtain these critical earthmoving resources when needed.
