The contract, identified by solicitation number 140L3726Q0048, is a firm-fixed price award under the Federal Acquisition Regulation for prescribed fire support services to be performed by the National Interagency Fire Center under the Department of the Interior. The period of performance runs from June 4, 2026, through December 31, 2028, with work conducted across Northwest Oregon, including multiple BLM field offices, and delivered on a task-order basis aligned with seasonal burn windows. The scope encompasses critical wildfire management activities such as fire line construction, fuels reduction, ignition, suppression, mop-up, snag felling, and road repair, all in strict compliance with National Wildfire Coordinating Group standards, federal safety regulations including OSHA and ANSI, and specific Forest Service specifications. Performance is evaluated through 100% on-site inspection at the destination by the Contracting Officer’s Representative, with acceptance contingent upon verified compliance with prescribed fire plans and infrared or visual confirmation of extinguished materials. The acquisition is structured as a commercial item procurement under FAR Part 12, incorporating standardized clauses for commercial services including 52.212-4 and 52.212-5, and includes a small business set-aside designation with required representations under 52.219-6 and 52.219-28. Offerors must demonstrate technical capability through a five-page narrative addressing understanding of the work, staffing and management approach, safety and sustainability practices, and schedule feasibility, while also submitting evidence of at least two relevant projects completed within the past five years. Key personnel must hold NWCG qualifications for roles including firing boss, crew boss, engine boss, and equipment operators. Pricing is evaluated holistically in a trade-off process where best value, not lowest price, determines award, with the Government able to select a higher-priced quote if superior technical or performance attributes justify the cost. Invoices must be submitted exclusively via the Invoice Processing Platform, and contractors are responsible for all equipment and government property left on-site unless explicitly directed otherwise. Compliance with labor standards including minimum wage, paid sick leave, service contract wage determinations, and anti-trafficking requirements is mandatory, and uniform reimbursement is required under the Service Contract Act. All proposals must be submitted electronically via SAM.gov by the May 21, 2026, deadline and include a fully completed SF-1449 form along with required attachments comprising
