SECTION B - INTRODUCTION
B.1 -- I-BPA USE AND INTENT
The intent of this solicitation is to obtain the services described in D.1 Scope of Agreement for Local, Regional, Nationwide fire suppression, all-hazard incidents, and prescribed fire project work.
B.2 -- PRICING AND ESTIMATED QUANTITY
(a) This solicitation will result in multiple agreements. The dollar limitation for any individual order is the Simplified Acquisition Threshold (SAT). Since the needs of the Government and availability of Contractor's resources during an emergency cannot be determined in advance, it is mutually agreed that, upon request of the Government, the Contractor shall furnish the resources listed herein to the extent the Contractor is willing and able at the time of order. Due to the sporadic occurrence of Incident activity, the placement of any orders IS NOT GUARANTEED.
(b) Proposed rates shall include, but are not limited to, labor (as required), equipment, operating supplies, materials, State and Federal taxes (including workers compensation costs), insurance coverage, transportation costs, overhead, and profit, and any costs/fees necessary to ensure equipment/operators/crews meet(s) the specified standards. Contractors shall comply with the 2:1 work/rest ratio as outlined in the Standards for Interagency Incident Business Management handbook (Work/Rest Guidelines).
(c) Resources furnished under this agreement may be operated and subjected to extreme environmental and/or strenuous operating conditions which could include but is not limited to unimproved roads, steep, rocky, hilly terrain, dust, heat, and smoky conditions. As a result, by entering into this agreement, the contractor agrees that what is considered wear and tear under this agreement is in excess of what the resource is subjected to under normal operations and is reflected in the rates paid for the resource.
B.3 -- BASIS OF AWARD
(a) The Government will award a sufficient number of I-BPAs anticipated to meet incident resource needs resulting from this solicitation to responsible quoters whose quotes conforming to the solicitation will be advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered. The number of I-BPAs awarded will be determined based upon historical usage and other relevant data such as predictive services information, available personnel to administer agreements, etc.
(1) Awards to a Government employee or to a business concern or other organization owned or substantially owned or controlled by one or more Government employees is prohibited (FAR Subpart 3.6).

supervision, hiring, ordering, or recommending payments that directly or indirectly affect a company or contractor the casual has any ownership or employment with or for that company or contractor assigned to an incident (NWCG Standards for Interagency Incident Business Management – PMS 902).
(b) The following factors shall be used to evaluate quotes:
(1) operational acceptability of equipment/resource offered to meet the Government requirement
(2) price reasonableness
(3) past performance dependability risk
(c) A quote will be considered operationally acceptable if the offered resource meets the minimum requirements stated in the specifications.
(d) Price reasonableness may be based upon competition, government estimates, commercial pricing, historical data, etc.; generally, reasonable pricing that is low will result in higher dispatch priority.
(e) Past performance dependability risk will be assessed as high, low, or unknown (high indicating significant probability for poor future performance) based upon customer satisfaction as reflected in evaluations received for the quoter on incidents and other related experience within the past 36 months, compliance with Federal, state, and local laws and regulations, and quoter's history of reasonable and cooperative behavior. Pursuant to FAR 42.1501 the contractor's record of integrity and business ethics, and generally, the contractor's business-like concern for the interest of the customer will be a consideration of past performance.
(f) I-BPAs will be established only to quoters with:
(1) reasonably priced resources
(2) technically acceptable resources
(3) a low or unknown past performance risk
(g) The notice of award will be electronically mailed to the contractor's email address as provided in their submission.

C.2.1 – ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REQUIRING CONTRACTOR CERTIFICATION
This is to notify you of recent award prohibitions contained in sections 744 and 745 of Division E, Title VII, of the Consolidated and Further Continuing Appropriations Act, 2015 (Pub. L. 113-235) regarding corporate felony convictions and corporate tax delinquencies. Under the Appropriations Act, no awards https://acquisition.gov/far/ http://www.biopreferred.gov/ can be made to any corporation (for profit or non-profit) that has a tax delinquency or felony conviction as defined in the Appropriations Act and described in the attached representation. To comply with these provisions, all offerors are required to complete the representation in SAM. Please note that if you have a tax delinquency or felony conviction, as defined in the Appropriations Act and described in the attached representation, you are not eligible for award. If you are ineligible for award because of these prohibitions it is possible that you can regain eligibility for award, but only if the suspension and debarring official considers your tax delinquency and/or felony conviction and determines that suspension or debarment is not necessary to protect the interests of the Government.
C.2.2 – ASSIGNMENT OF CLAIMS
a) Assignment of claims is not authorized.
b) In accordance with FAR Part 32.803, it is determined that prohibiting assignment of claims against this agreement and any resultant resource order is in the Government’s best interest.
c) Pursuant to FAR 52.212-4, contractors shall not change the name or address for EFT payments in the SAM record to reflect an assignee for the purpose of the assignment of claims.
C.3 – AGREEMENT AND PERFORMANCE PERIODS
C.3.1 – AGREEMENT PERIOD
(a) Estimated date of award is April 2025 (Original 3 year BPA began in 2022). The Agreement period will remain active through March 2026 (unless agreement is terminated, expired, or cancelled prior). An annual review will be conducted at the discretion of the Contracting Officer around Jan/Feb/Mar.
Contractors may be offered an opportunity to adjust their prices during this review period. If a revised price is not submitted during the period set forth by the Contracting Officer, the prices proposed in the most recent agreement will remain in effect. In addition, a Contracting Officer may allow the Contractor to change their Host Dispatch Center and/or Equipment Attributes during this time. Additionally, the annual CO review period may allow the option of on-ramping of additional contractors and resources. (Refer to Exhibit G).
Note: The USFS will determine annually whether it is in the Governments best interest to initiate an open season on-ramping process to add additional Contractors and/or resources during the annual Contracting Officer (CO) review.
Non-response by the set due date is vendor acceptance of all AIMS updated annual terms and conditions along with any updated DOL Wage Determination. An inactive SAM account will result in agreement suspension. Non-response also nullifies any opportunities to make annual changes to the agreement until the next annual review. It is not the Government's intent to modify the agreements during the fire season.
This is an undue and unacceptable administrative burden. Modifications or inspections outside of the annual review window and/or during the active fire season (March - September annually) are not standard practice and may be substantially delayed due to the unavailability of the CO or Contract Operations staff. This is not a violation of the agreement. If a vendor chooses to adjust rates as part of the annual review/roll over process, those proposed rates are subject to the CO's fair and reasonable price analysis for the Region/Zone. If proposed price changes fall outside the acceptable parameters, the vendor will be contacted to negotiate the rates to within the acceptable parameters. If a vendor is unwilling to negotiate or there is not CO approval of proposed roll over modification rates, then awarded AIMS BPA agreement would either be suspended or terminated/cancelled. All negotiations must be complete within the CO determined window or AIMS BPA agreement will be subject to suspension. This acquisition is solicited using the procurement process prescribed in Part 12, Commercial Items, and in accordance with the authority granted in FAR 13.5, Simplified procedures for Certain Commercial Items of the Federal Acquisition Regulations (FAR).
(b) It is estimated that the anticipated use period for resources within the area may fall between April through November of each year. Potential use outside this area or anticipated use period could occur at any time. Since the resource needs of the Government and availability of Contractor's resources during an emergency cannot be determined in advance, it is mutually agreed that, upon request of the Government, the Contractor shall furnish the resources listed herein to the extent the Contractor is willing and able at the time of order.
(c) Any order issued during the effective period of this agreement and not completed within that period shall be completed by the Contractor prior to release from the ordered incident assignment. The agreement shall govern the Contractor's and Government’s rights and obligations with respect to that order to the same extent as if the order were completed during the agreement's effective period.
C.3.2 – START WORK
The Contractor shall provide availability status to the designated dispatch office within 10 days after award of the Agreement.
C.3.3 – AGREEMENT CANCELLATION
This Agreement may be discontinued upon 30 days written notice by either party.
C.4 – AUTHORIZED PERSONNEL TO PLACE ORDERS
Dispatchers, Buying Team Members, Finance Section Chiefs, Procurement Unit Leaders, Contracting Officers, and Purchasing Agents are authorized to place orders against this agreement. Orders must be placed in accordance with established ordering procedures as specified in National and Regional mobilization guides.
C.5 – CLAIM SETTLEMENT AUTHORITY
For the purpose of settling claims, the successor contracting officer is any contracting officer acting within their delegated warrant authority, under the clauses of this agreement, and limits set by the incident agency.
C.6 – CHANGES TO AGREEMENTS
Changes to Agreements may only be made by the original signing procurement official or a designated successor contracting officer. If the original signing procurement official or designated successor contracting officer is not available and adjustments are deemed appropriate, an Emergency Equipment Rental Agreement (EERA) shall be executed at the incident and shall be applicable ONLY for the duration of that incident. The EERA must include the name and location of the incident. Resources that are accepted to the incident are to be utilized as the ordered resource and type per the resource order.
C.7 -- 52.247-21 CONTRACTOR LIABILITY FOR PERSONAL INJURY AND/OR PROPERTY DAMAGE
(APR 1984)
a) The Contractor assumes responsibility for all damage or injury to persons or property occasioned through the use, maintenance, and operation of the Contractor's vehicles or other equipment by, or the action of, the Contractor or the Contractor's employees and agents.

d) Government shall in no event be liable or responsible for damage or injury to any person or property occasioned through the use, maintenance, or operation of any vehicle or other equipment by, or the action of, the Contractor or the Contractor's employees and agents in performing under this contract, and the Government shall be indemnified and saved harmless against claims for damage or injury in such cases.
C.8 – LOSS, DAMAGE, OR DESTRUCTION
(a) For service vehicles furnished under this agreement, the Government will assume liability for any loss, damage or destruction of such equipment, except that no reimbursement will be made for loss, damage or destruction due to (1) ordinary wear or tear, (2) mechanical failure, or (3) the fault or negligence of the Contractor or the Contractor's agents or employees or Government employee owned and operated equipment.
