Premo Fireball Spheres

The Department of Agriculture Forest Service R8-Southern Region has issued a solicitation for the procurement of 360 boxes of Premo Fireball Spheres, with each box containing 1,000 units, totaling 360,000 spheres. This acquisition falls under the Small Arms, Ordnance, and Ordnance Accessories Manufacturing sector (NAICS 332994) and is classified as Miscellaneous Weapons under PSC code 1095. The solicitation was posted on September 3, 2025, with a tight response deadline of September 8, 2025, providing potential contractors with only five days to prepare and submit their proposals. The government has provided a single supporting document titled "12444025Q0088_signed.pdf" that was posted on the same date as the solicitation. The evaluation criteria and specific contract requirements are not detailed in the basic solicitation notice but would likely be contained within the referenced government file.

This procurement opportunity is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside, restricting competition to qualified small business enterprises only. The contract will be performed in Laurel, Mississippi, indicating that delivery or services must be provided to this location within the Southern Region of the Forest Service. No information regarding potential incumbents, current contractors, or estimated award values is provided in the basic solicitation details. Given the nature of the items being procured and the Forest Service's mission, these fireball spheres are likely specialized equipment for forestry management, prescribed burning operations, or fire suppression training activities. The substantial quantity of 360,000 units suggests this is a significant procurement that will support multiple operational requirements across the Southern Region's forest management activities.
