Emergency Fire Logistics & Transportation Services

The USDA Forest Service is seeking qualified contractors to provide comprehensive transportation, staging, and logistical support for wildland fire crews and equipment, with an emphasis on off-road mobility and the establishment of temporary base camps during active fire incidents. This subcontract requires the ability to rapidly deploy personnel and resources to remote and challenging terrains, ensuring timely access for fire suppression teams and the efficient management of supplies, fuel, water, and equipment in dynamic, high-risk environments. All services must be scalable to meet the evolving needs of incident responses across diverse geographic regions. The contract is classified under NAICS code 484220 and is set aside for small businesses under the Small Business Administration program, prioritizing eligible small businesses to compete for this opportunity. Proposals are due by May 18, 2026, and the scope encompasses end-to-end operational support, including coordination with federal and state agencies, compliance with safety and environmental protocols, and the use of specialized vehicles and equipment suited for rugged, unimproved roadways. While specific locations of performance are not defined, services are expected to be responsive nationwide wherever USDA Forest Service wildfire incidents occur.
