About this opportunity
The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Forest Service has issued a Limited Sources Justification Notice for the procurement of sixteen Type 3H (Heavy) Fire Engine bodies, custom-built to Forest Service national standard specifications and mounted on government-furnished 4X4 cab and chassis. The contract was awarded to HME, Inc. under sole-source justification authority FAR 8.405-6(a)(1)(i)(B), with a total estimated value of $4,400,000 and an 18-month performance period. The Forest Service justified the limited sourcing by citing market research, including two consecutive Requests for Information, which confirmed that HME, Inc. is the only known vendor capable of providing the specialized fire engine bodies at the required quality level. The procurement is considered mission-critical for wildfire mitigation, public safety, and supporting firefighting efforts across the National Forest System. The fire engines will be delivered to various locations across Arizona, Colorado, Idaho, Montana, New Mexico, Nevada, Oregon, and South Dakota, with the contract requiring operational training and delivery services. The Forest Service indicated it will continue to encourage other GSA schedule holders to develop similar capabilities for future acquisitions.
