About this IDV
The National Interagency Fire Center awarded an Indefinite Delivery Contract to Watercat, LLC on February 6, 2026, for heavy equipment with water for fire suppression and all-hazard incident support, with a contract ceiling of $500,000 and ultimate completion date of May 30, 2030. This is a total small business set-aside, multiple-award contract under a firm fixed-price structure.
Place of performance covers Forest Service Regions 3, 5, and 6. The contract originated from a pre-solicitation notice posted February 5, 2025, for an Incident Blanket Purchase Agreement (I-BPA) through the Forest Service's Virtual Incident Procurement (VIPR) system, seeking vendors capable of deploying fully equipped, personnel-ready resources for wildland fire support, prescribed project work, and all-hazard incident response. Vendors were required to propose rates for up to 16-hour daily shifts, with dispatch agreements awarded to the closest regional dispatch center to the vendor's resource location.
Watercat is a woman-owned small disadvantaged business based in John Day, Oregon. Recent delivery orders under this IDIQ include a $49,600 firm fixed-price order from Forest Service Pacific Northwest Region (Region 6) in July 2024 for heavy equipment and water handling services, a $24,960 order from Region 6 in September 2024 for combined equipment with water resources, and a $40,300 purchase order from Bureau of Land Management Idaho Region in June 2025 for a Type 3 dozer. The company demonstrates rapid-deployment capability, with contractual requirements for mobilization within sixteen hours of dispatch requests. Combined obligated dollars across this vehicle stand at $166,000 against the $500,000 ceiling, indicating substantial remaining contract capacity.
