The Department of Agriculture (USDA), US Forest Service (USFS), Incident Procurement

Operations (IPO) At Incident Management Support (AIMS) requirement for Off-Highway

Vehicles (OHV) for use on a local, Regional and Nationwide fire suppression and all-hazard incidents basis. OHV is a general category which includes, All-Terrain-Vehicles (ATV), Multipurpose Off-highway Utility Vehicles (MOHUV), and Recreational Off-road Vehicles (ROV).

This was originally solicited under solicitation number 1202RZ22Q0004. Original awards were made on October 7, 2022.

This solicitation notice is for a re-opening under solicitation 1202RZ22Q0004 in order to conduct an open season on-ramp in accordance with C.3 Agreement and Performance Period of the original solicitation.

This procurement action will result in multiple additional awards to the existing AIMS Vendor

Incident Blanket Purchase Agreement (IBPA) Pool.

IMPORTANT NOTE: An on-ramp solicitation is not a new procurement and operates differently than a new solicitation. An on-ramp solicitation is a result of the provisions established in the original solicitation and is issued as a solicitation amendment to the original solicitation. The terms and conditions of the original solicitation require that " The award decision under the open season solicitation is based upon the same evaluation factors/sub-factors as the original solicitation" Additionally, the terms and conditions of the original solicitation require that, " The terms and conditions of any resulting new IBPA awards are identical to the original awards and solicitation, to include period of performance." Accordingly, while the

Government will entertain suggestions and Industry input regarding the on-ramp solicitation amendment, the Government anticipates very little change to result from this input, especially as it regards any potential changes to the evaluation factors or resulting terms and conditions.
