About this opportunity
The Department of the Interior's Interior Business Center is conducting market research through a Request for Information (RFI) to identify potential vendors capable of providing ongoing maintenance and repair services for vehicles and equipment used by the Air Force Wildland Fire Branch (AFWFB). This RFI, issued January 16, 2026, is not a solicitation and does not obligate the government to award a contract; rather, it serves as a planning tool to assess marketplace capabilities and develop an acquisition strategy. Interested vendors must submit capability statements, feedback on the draft Performance Work Statement, and recommendations regarding deliverables, labor categories, and preferred contract types (Firm Fixed Price or Labor Hour) by the February 15, 2026 deadline. The government is seeking to identify vendors of all sizes, including small and socioeconomic concerns, who can demonstrate experience with similar maintenance and repair services. All responses must be submitted electronically via email, with no evaluation letters or feedback provided to respondents, and all response costs will be borne solely by interested vendors at their own expense.
The RFI encompasses a geographically dispersed portfolio of 13 to 14 AFWFB module locations across multiple states including Alaska, California, Colorado, Florida, Idaho, Nevada, New Mexico, New Jersey, South Carolina, South Dakota, and Texas. The equipment inventory targeted for maintenance includes a diverse range of specialized machinery such as All-Terrain Vehicles, Track Loaders, Utility Vehicles, Brush Cutters, Dozers, Trailers, and equipment from manufacturers including Polaris, Bobcat, John Deere, and Caterpillar. No specific award value or budget range is disclosed in this market research phase, as the RFI is designed purely to gather information about vendor capabilities and marketplace interest prior to any formal solicitation. The government will create an interested parties list from all responses and may utilize this market research to inform final contract strategy and requirements. This opportunity is classified under NAICS 811310 (Commercial and Industrial Machinery and Equipment Repair and Maintenance) and PSC J038 (Maintenance/Repair/Rebuild of Construction/Mining/Excavating/Highway Maintenance Equipment).
