F--BLM BURN MODULES FY27 ENGINES-FIRE

The contract, identified by solicitation number 140L3726Q0050 and titled “F--BLM BURN MODULES FY27 ENGINES-FIRE,” is a firm-fixed-price acquisition under FAR Part 12 for prescribed burn support services targeting wildfire management operations in the Northwest Oregon region, specifically within Oregon and Washington. The contract period extends from June 4, 2026, through December 31, 2028, with deliverables centered on Type VI fire engines with a minimum 250-gallon capacity, supported by qualified personnel organized into Levels of Difficulty Modules. Key personnel include Squad Bosses (FFT1), Tender Operators (WTOP), Firing Bosses, Crew Bosses, Engine Bosses/Operators, and other specialized roles, all required to meet National Wildfire Coordinating Group qualifications and demonstrate English language proficiency for safety and communication. Performance is non-personal, meaning the government will not direct methods, but monitoring will occur through an on-site Contracting Officer’s Representative during ignition and holding phases. Contractual compliance requires adherence to the Performance Work Statement, wage determinations from multiple federal listings, and safety protocols including an OSHA-compliant general safety plan submitted before operations begin. The place of performance is Salem, Oregon, with FOB Destination terms, and payments must be submitted electronically via the U.S. Treasury’s Invoice Processing Platform, requiring prior contractor registration and enrollment. The solicitation mandates SAM registration, UEI and CAGE code submission, and a signed SF-1449, with offers due by May 26, 2026, via email to the designated point of contact. The award will be made based on a best-value determination considering both technical capability and total evaluated price, with no formal scoring, allowing the government to exercise business judgment to favor higher-priced offers with superior qualifications or terms. Mandatory clauses include provisions on subcontractor debarment, executive compensation reporting, biobased product procurement, small business representation, and prohibitions against certain internal confidentiality agreements. All contractual correspondence must be shared with both the Contracting Officer and COR, and any actions taken on direction from unauthorized personnel are at the contractor’s risk. The contractor is responsible for the security and integrity of both their equipment and government-furnished property unless specifically directed otherwise.
