About this IDV
Craigs Excavating & Fire Service LLC, a self-certified small disadvantaged business based in La Grange, California, was awarded a multiple-award Indefinite Delivery Contract by the National Interagency Fire Center (NIFC), a civilian agency under the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service, on May 30, 2025. The contract, valued at $250,000 and set aside for total small business participation, extends through May 30, 2030, and falls under the Virtual Incident Procurement (VIPR) I-BPA program for West Zone heavy equipment with water capabilities supporting Regions 3, 5, and 6. The primary scope encompasses the provision of heavy equipment rental services for wildland fire suppression and all-hazard incident response, including dozers, excavators, feller bunchers, mulchers, masticators, road graders, and skidders—with particular emphasis on equipment equipped with water resources for emergency response operations. The underlying solicitation, posted February 5, 2025, sought vendors capable of delivering fully equipped and personnel-ready resources for local, regional, and nationwide fire suppression and prescribed project work, with contractors expected to propose rates for up to 16-hour daily shifts through the VIPR Vendor Application.
Two delivery orders have been issued against this Indefinite Delivery Contract as of September 2025. The first delivery order, awarded September 4, 2025, valued at $72,900, was performed in Clovis, California and completed by September 13, 2025, while the second delivery order, awarded August 22, 2025, valued at $80,190, was performed in Solvang, California with completion by September 1, 2025. Both delivery orders were issued by the USDA Forest Service's Region 5 (Pacific Southwest Region) on a firm fixed-price basis without set-aside designations, representing immediate mobilization of equipment for wildland fire suppression and emergency response support. The contract structure through VIPR enables the Forest Service to rapidly deploy critical heavy equipment resources during unplanned fires and incidents on Forest Service lands across the specified western regions, with annual review provisions for potential contractor or resource additions.
