About this opportunity

The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Forest Service is seeking quotes for comprehensive tent system rentals to support wildland fire suppression, all-hazard incidents, and prescribed fire projects. The solicitation requires fully enclosed, multi-use facilities ranging from 200-1300 square feet, with specific technical requirements including insulated walls, flooring, lighting, temperature control, and power distribution systems. Evaluation criteria will prioritize proximity to incident locations, ability to meet incident needs, and technical acceptability, with price serving as a secondary consideration. Vendors must have an active System for Award Management (SAM) registration and demonstrate past performance in supporting urgent/emergency incidents. Key dates include a pre-quote meeting planned for the last week of March 2025, with quotes due on April 11, 2025, at 1700 Mountain Time, and an anticipated award date around May 26, 2025.

The solicitation is a 100% small business set-aside under NAICS code 115310 with a small business size standard of $34 million, anticipating multiple Incident Blanket Purchase Agreements (I-BPAs). The estimated maximum aggregate contract value is $10 million over a five-year period, with the highest demand expected from March to October annually. Contractors can quote up to five Designated Dispatch Points (DDPs) per geographic area, with point of contact requirements for immediate response to urgent needs. The place of performance includes nine distinct geographic areas across the United States, including Northern Rockies, Rocky Mountain, Southwest, Great Basin, Northern California, Southern California, Northwest, Southern, and Eastern regions. Tent systems must be fully operational within 12 hours of arrival at an incident and capable of supporting multiple federal and state agencies including the US Forest Service, National Park Service, and Bureau of Land Management.

5/28/2025: Re-activation of Solicitation until 6/16/2025 allowing for opportunity to submit revised proposals that the Agency will evaluate under the revised solicitation.  Revisions are as follows:

  1. Generators are quoted and listed within the Schedule of Items (SOI) as a separate line item.
  2. Water Barrels/non-staking stabilization items are quoted and listed within the Schedule of Items (SOI) as an optional line item.
  3. Designated Dispatch Point (DDP) is quoted as a physical address (Street name, building number, city, state, and postal code). See Attachment 2: DDP table.  New DDP definition impacts 3.4.1 Ordering Procedures.
  4. Mileage compensation for mobilization and demobilization. A mileage payment is based on the rate per mile in the agreement multiplied by the number of round-trip miles from the Designated Dispatch Point (DDP) to the incident (mobilization) and from the incident to the DDP (demobilization). For every increment of 5 resources mobilized/demobilized a mileage payment may be paid.

    Example: Government orders seven (7) Type 1 Tent Systems, which qualifies for two mileage payments. The example mileage rate in the agreement is $1.50/mile and the number of miles from the DDP to the incident is 225 miles (450 miles round trip). The mileage payment in this example will be calculated as: ($1.50 * 450) * 2 trips = $1,350.00).

4/10/2025: Q&A 2nd round document posted. Mileage example and clarification language has been added to Attachment 1 – Schedule of Items and PWS Sections 1.3.2 – Contractor Provided Equipment, 3.5.1 – Time Under Hire & 3.5.2 – Rates of Payments.  Section 3.4.1 - Ordering Procedures updated with the following: The ordering activity contacts I-BPA holders by phone and email to check for availability. All emails will be followed up by a phone call.  The Contractor whose Designated Dispatch Point is nearest to the incident as determined by the web-based mapping platform Google Maps. In the event there is a tie, to determine nearest resource, the lowest priced will be the determining factor using the awarded rates within the Schedule of Items (SOI) as a standing price quote per FAR 13.103.  The rate comparison will be based on total order by each vendor's awarded SOI, including mileage for mobilization and demobilization along with one (1) operational period (Daily Rate).
