Bus, Crew Carrier

The U.S. Forest Service is preparing to recompete its National Bus and Crew Carrier contract under a five-year recurrence cycle, with the next solicitation planned for fiscal year 2027. This contract will be awarded as an Incident Blanket Purchase Agreement, designed to provide rapid and flexible transportation capabilities for crew and equipment during wildfire response and other emergency incidents across the nation. The scope is national, ensuring coverage wherever needed, and the resulting agreement will support critical operations in remote and challenging environments. The solicitation is forecasted to be posted on August 1, 2026, and will be handled through the Forest Service’s business operations under the Department of Agriculture. While no specific solicitation number, NAICS code, or set-aside details are currently available, the contract will be managed centrally to ensure consistent, nationwide service delivery. The place of performance and point of contact information have not been defined, reflecting the dynamic and nationwide nature of the requirements. The contract will be administered under the Incident BPA framework to enable fast mobilization and sustained support during incident response efforts.
