Fire Equipment Transport to Alaska

The Department of Agriculture's Incident Procurement Logistics Usda-Fs has awarded a contract for the transport of firefighting equipment from the South Zone Fire Cache in Ontario, California, to the Alaska Interagency Support Cache at Ft. Wainwright, Alaska. The contractor is required to provide five 53-foot enclosed DOT approved tractor trailers to facilitate this move. While U.S. Forest Service employees will handle the loading at the origin, the contractor is responsible for all managerial, administrative, and direct labor necessary to ensure the safe and efficient transport, receiving, and delivery of the equipment. To ensure timely arrival, the equipment must be delivered to the destination no later than March 10, 2022. The contractor is granted flexibility in the method of transport, utilizing the most efficient means available, such as semi-tractors, barges, or containerships. This project was designated as a total small business set-aside under NAICS code 484121.
