About this file

This is an Amendment of Solicitation/Modification of Contract (Standard Form 30) issued by the USDA Forest Service, Federal Fire and Aviation Management division on March 23, 2026.

The amendment reopens Solicitation 129J6125Q7000 for an open season Onboarding period for a Multiple Award Incident Blanket Purchase Agreement (IBPA) issued as a 100% Small Business Set Aside. The original solicitation addressed Water Handling services for the West Zone, Region 5, to support local, regional, and national fire suppression and all-hazard incidents. Vendor quote responses are due no later than April 24, 2026, at 14:00 Pacific Time, submitted through the "VIPR NextGen" application at https://www.fs.usda.gov/business/incident/vendorapp.php?tab=tab_d. The Onboarding period runs concurrently with the USFS Contracting Officer's annual IBPA review (rollover) process, during which existing IBPA awardees may revise rates, modify resources, or add new resources, and new offerors meeting eligibility requirements may submit quotes. All proposed resources must meet criteria from the original solicitation, and new quote submissions must satisfy all Acceptability Pass/Fail requirements and be evaluated using the same evaluation factors as the original solicitation. Any newly awarded BPA agreements will be identical in terms and conditions to the original awards. Following completion of the Onboarding and annual review/rollover processes, newly awarded contractors and newly accepted resources will be eligible for dispatch and BPA calls per the ordering procedures in the agreements. The contracting officer is Craig Ericson.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), Forest Service (USFS), originally issued this requirement for Water Handling - West Zone, Region 5 only to support local, regional, and national fire suppression and all hazard incidents.

This amendment re opens the original solicitation to conduct Onboarding in accordance with Exhibit H - Special Contract Requirements.

Onboarding is not a new procurement action. It is conducted under the terms of the original solicitation and issued as an amendment to that solicitation. The original solicitation requires that award decisions during open season Onboarding use the same evaluation factors and sub factors as the original solicitation. It also requires that any new I BPA awards issued through Onboarding be identical to the original awards, including all terms, conditions, and the period of performance. While the Government will review industry feedback, significant changes are not anticipated, particularly regarding evaluation factors or contract terms.

This amendment applies to 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-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 for consideration.

All proposed resources must meet the criteria established in the original solicitation. New quote submissions must meet all Acceptability Pass/Fail requirements and will be evaluated using the same evaluation factors as the original solicitation. Any resulting new I BPA awards will be identical in terms and conditions to the original agreements. After the Onboarding and annual review/rollover processes are complete, any newly awarded Contractors or newly accepted resources added to existing agreements will be eligible for dispatch and BPA Calls in accordance with the ordering procedures in the agreements.
