Indefinite Delivery Contract 129J6126T7554

Harvest Rentals, Inc., a small business subchapter S corporation based in Nipomo, California, was awarded a multiple-award Indefinite Delivery Contract valued at $250,000 by the National Interagency Fire Center on February 6, 2026, with performance extending through May 22, 2030. The contract, set aside for total small business participation, procures miscellaneous heavy equipment and related services to support the USDA Forest Service Region 5 - Pacific Southwest Region. Equipment offerings include feller bunchers, mulchers, masticators, road graders, skidders, dozers, and excavators, with the contractor required to provide trained and certified personnel alongside equipment deployment. The contract operates on a firm fixed price basis and utilizes the Virtual Incident Procurement system for order placement, enabling rapid resource mobilization for wildland fire suppression, all-hazard incidents, and prescribed project work.

The underlying solicitation, posted in February 2024 and set aside for total small business, sought multiple blanket purchase agreements with vendors positioned to provide equipment and personnel closest to dispatch centers to ensure timely emergency response capabilities. Vendors were required to maintain appropriate equipment, training, and certifications to meet government specifications, with resources allocated on a daily shift basis for up to 16 hours as needed annually. The contract structure supports the Forest Service's operational requirement for rapid access to specialized heavy equipment and trained personnel to execute incident suppression activities and prescribed burning operations across the Pacific Southwest Region, addressing critical resource gaps during peak fire season and emergency response scenarios.
