VIPR I-BPA for Crew Carrier Bus for Region 13 - National Amendment - 12024B23Q7000 - 0001.pdf

This is a Standard Form 30 Amendment to Solicitation/Modification of Contract issued by the USDA Forest Service, National Interagency Fire Center in Boise, Idaho. The amendment number is 0001, effective March 19, 2026, and modifies solicitation 12024B23Q7000 for an open-season Onboarding period.

The Government is re-opening Solicitation 12024B23Q7000 for an open-season Onboarding period to support Crew Carrier Bus services for Region 13 for fire suppression and all-hazard incidents. Vendor quote responses are due no later than April 17, 2026 at 17:00 MDT, submitted through the VIFR NextGen application at https://www.fs.usda.gov/businessservices/incidentvendorapp.php. This amendment re-opens the original solicitation to conduct Onboarding under Exhibit H – Special Contract Requirements. Onboarding is not a new procurement but an amendment to the existing solicitation and assumes the original terms. The evaluation will use the same evaluation factors and sub-factors as the original solicitation, and any new Indefinite Blanket Purchase Agreement (I-BPA) awards must be identical to original awards in terms, conditions, and performance period. During the open-season Onboarding period, existing I-BPA awardees may revise rates, modify resources, or add new resources, while new offerors meeting all eligibility requirements may submit quotes for consideration. All proposed resources must meet original solicitation criteria. Newly awarded Contractors will be eligible for dispatch and BPA Calls following completion of the Onboarding and annual review/rollover processes.
