Sources Sought - Call When Needed Mobile Shower Facilities Units

The USDA Forest Service is posting this Sources Sought notice to obtain additional Call When Needed (CWN) Mobile Shower Facilities Units (MSFUs), at various field locations during wildland fire and other types of incidents throughout the contiguous western United States. There is a growing need for additional CWN capability as the 2021 fire situation remains extreme. This notice does not constitute a commitment by the Government. All information submitted in response to this announcement is voluntary, and the Government will not pay for information requested nor will it compensate any respondent for any cost incurred in developing information provided to the Government. 

MSFUs include all equipment, supervision, labor, materials, and supplies (except for those items listed as Government furnished) to accomplish the full scope of work identified in the attached Specifications / Statement of Work (some exceptions may apply). MSFU equipment must be capable of operating in adversely impacted urban areas to remote primitive locations with very limited access.

CWN MSFUs will be utilized after all National MSFUs on contract have been either utilized, are  unavailable or have declined the order. CWN MSFUs may be ordered and placed on an Emergency Equipment Rental Agreement originating from a source list, with priority based on shortest distance to the incident. The source list will be maintained by the USDA Forest Service and does not guarantee a call or guarantee any level of performance.

Interested parties should review the attached Specification / Statement of Work to determine if this opportunity may fit your capabilities and then send an email to the Contracting Officer at (bryce.pitchford@usda.gov), providing the following information:

• Contact information and business location
