The contract is an Indefinite Delivery Vehicle (IDV) awarded by the U.S. Forest Service, Region 5 to Davis Corporation, a veteran-owned small business based in California. The $250,000 IDV is a Firm Fixed Price contract to provide miscellaneous heavy equipment rentals, including feller bunchers, mulchers, masticators, road graders, and skidders, to support wildland fire suppression, all-hazard incidents, and prescribed project work across the Pacific Southwest region. The IDV was awarded through the Virtual Incident Procurement (VIPR) contracting process and is a multiple award, total small business set-aside contract with a period of performance through June 2029. Davis Corporation has received numerous delivery orders against similar IDIQ contracts and BPAs to quickly dispatch vital firefighting and operational equipment and personnel to support the Forest Service's fire and natural resource programs on an annual recurring basis.
The original contract opportunity was a pre-solicitation issued by the Forest Service for multiple Incident Blanket Purchase Agreements (I-BPAs) for miscellaneous heavy equipment. Vendors had to be registered in SAM.gov, have a USDA eAuthentication account, and submit quotes electronically through the VIPR system by the March 2024 deadline. The solicitation used a total small business set-aside, with socioeconomic status considered as an evaluation advantage. The selected vendors must have the required equipment, personnel, training, and certifications to meet the agreement specifications and be able to provide timely emergency incident support from dispatch centers closest to the resources.
