John Carmody

John Carmody is a small business sole proprietorship based in Eagle, Idaho, that specializes in providing water handling equipment and services for wildland fire suppression and all-hazard incident response operations. Registered with SAM.gov since February 2004, the company has established itself as a critical resource for federal agencies managing emergency response and disaster relief efforts across multiple regions of the United States. John Carmody's expertise in incident response logistics positions the firm as a reliable partner for federal agencies requiring specialized equipment and trained personnel to support complex firefighting and emergency management operations.

Through its federal contract awards, John Carmody has demonstrated consistent capability in delivering water handling equipment and services to the U.S. Forest Service's Intermountain Region (Region 4). The company has received four delivery orders under its indefinite delivery contract vehicles, with award values ranging from $32,000 to $87,500. These delivery orders, issued between August 2022 and August 2025, were awarded without set-aside designations, indicating John Carmody's ability to compete successfully in open market procurements. The most recent delivery order, valued at $73,500 and awarded on August 20, 2025, carries a completion date of September 9, 2025. The prior delivery order, valued at $87,500 and issued on August 25, 2024, had an ultimate completion date of September 20, 2024. Additional orders include a $78,205.64 delivery order awarded on July 27, 2024, with completion by August 18, 2024, and a $32,000 order issued in August 2022 for work in the Salmon-Challis National Forest area. All delivery orders were funded by the Forest Service's Intermountain Region and represent tactical utilization of the company's strategic contracting vehicles for emergency response support.

John Carmody holds two multiple-award Indefinite Delivery Contracts (IDCs) with the U.S. Forest Service's National Interagency Fire Center under the Virtual Incident Procurement (VIPR) program, each valued at $250,000 and awarded as total small business set-asides. The original IDC, awarded on June 2, 2022, established an Incident Blanket Purchase Agreement (I-BPA) for water handling equipment and services with a performance period through May 30, 2025. A successor IDC was awarded on May 30, 2025, extending the contract vehicle through May 30, 2030, ensuring continuity of service delivery. These contracts establish John Carmody as a pre-positioned resource for emergency response operations across Forest Service Regions 1, 2, 4, 8, and 9, covering a vast geographic area spanning multiple states. The I-BPA structure allows the Forest Service to flexibly deploy the contractor's water handling resources and trained personnel across these regions to meet emergency response needs, accommodating up to 16-hour daily shifts during peak incident seasons. Additionally, the contract allows optional utilization by other Interior Department agencies, including the National Park Service and Bureau of Indian Affairs, expanding the potential scope of work beyond the Forest Service.
