Field Safety & Fire Prevention Support

The contract calls for the provision of fire prevention equipment and safety protocols to support herbicide operations, ensuring that all activities are conducted with minimal risk of accidental ignition. Required equipment includes spark arresters, fire extinguishers, shovels, and suppression utility task vehicles, all of which must be deployed and maintained in accordance with established safety standards to mitigate fire hazards during field operations. The work is to be performed under a subcontract set aside exclusively for small businesses as defined by the SBA, with the NAICS code 561910 indicating a focus on support activities for agriculture. The Idaho State Office of the Department of the Interior is seeking qualified vendors capable of delivering and deploying these safety assets promptly to support ongoing operations across federal lands, particularly in fire-prone environments. The solicitation is open with a response deadline of May 25, 2026, at 9:00 PM, giving interested small businesses approximately two weeks to prepare and submit proposals. The place of performance is not specified in the details, which suggests work may occur across various locations within the jurisdiction of the Idaho State Office, potentially requiring flexibility and readiness to mobilize equipment on short notice. There is no designated point of contact listed, so inquiries must be directed through the official SAM.gov portal. The total small business set-aside status ensures that only entities certified as small businesses under SBA guidelines are eligible to compete, promoting opportunities for local and specialized contractors with experience in environmental safety and field support services.
