Amendment - 1202SB24Q7013 - 0001.pdf

This is a Standard Form 30 Amendment of Solicitation/Modification of Contract issued by the USDA Forest Service, Sonia Torres Incident Procurement ESB - East Zone on March 23, 2026.

The amendment reopens solicitation 1202SB24Q7013 for an open season Onboarding period to support local, regional, and national fire suppression and all hazard incidents for the Chippers – East Zone, Region 3. Vendor quote responses are due no later than April 24, 2026 at 16:00 MST through the VIFR NextGen application. This amendment opens the original solicitation to conduct Onboarding in accordance with Exhibit H - Special Contract Requirements. Onboarding is not a new procurement action but rather an amendment to the original solicitation issued as a Multiple Award Incident Blanket Purchase Agreement (I BPA) issued as a 100% Small Business Set Aside. The open season Onboarding period will run concurrently with the USFS Contracting Officer's annual I BPA review cycle, commonly referred to as the "Rollover" modification process. During this period, existing I BPA awardees may revise rates, modify resources, or add new resources, and new Offerors who meet all eligibility requirements may submit quotes. Award decisions use the same evaluation factors and sub factors as the original solicitation. All proposed resources must meet criteria established in the original solicitation. Any resulting new I BPA awards will be identical in terms and conditions to the original agreements, and newly awarded or accepted Contractors will be eligible for dispatch and BPA Calls following completion of the Onboarding and annual review processes.
