Blackfoot Slate & Stone, Inc. holds two significant Indefinite Delivery Contracts (IDCs) with the U.S. Forest Service, each with a potential ceiling value of $250,000. These multiple award, small business set-aside contracts cover Forest Service Regions 1, 2, 4, and 9, enabling the rapid procurement of miscellaneous heavy equipment through the Virtual Incident Procurement (VIPR) system. The IDCs, awarded in June 2023 and April 2025, respectively, allow for the quick issuance of task orders for equipment rentals including feller bunchers, mulchers/masticators, road graders, skidders, and other specialized machinery. These contracts extend through June 2028 and April 2030, positioning Blackfoot Reforestation as a key provider of equipment and services for wildland fire suppression and emergency response operations.
