The contract, which runs through June 5, 2030, is designated as a total small business set-aside and was competitively awarded through the Virtual Incident Procurement (VIPR) system. Under this indefinite delivery vehicle, the contractor provides comprehensive water handling equipment and personnel support for wildland fire suppression and all-hazard emergency response operations. Deliverables include Type 1-6 fire engines, support water tenders (Types 1-3), and tactical water tenders (Types 1-2), supplemented by trained and certified personnel, transportation services, and logistical support capable of sustaining up to 16-hour daily shifts. Performance locations include Redding, California, and other regions across the Pacific Southwest area, with equipment and personnel deployable to fire suppression and prescribed project work sites as required by delivery orders.
