Heavy Equipment: Includes: Dozer, Tractor Plow, Excavator, Transport

The U.S. Forest Service is planning a recompete solicitation for heavy equipment services scheduled for fiscal year 2028, covering a five-year recurrence cycle. The contract will provide essential equipment including dozers, tractor plows, excavators, and transport vehicles to support incident response operations across designated zones. This acquisition will be awarded as an Incident Blanket Purchase Agreement, allowing for rapid mobilization and flexible call-offs in response to emergencies such as wildfires, floods, or other natural disasters. The need for this equipment is critical to maintaining operational readiness and ensuring timely, effective response capabilities across national forest lands. The solicitation is forecasted to be posted on August 1, 2026, and will be managed under the Department of Agriculture, with the Forest Service as the executing agency. While specific details such as North American Industry Classification System codes, set-aside classifications, and place of performance are not yet defined, the procurement is intended to support nationwide operations. The agreement is designed to streamline acquisition processes for urgent needs and will be issued through the Forest Service’s official business and contracting portal, ensuring access for qualified vendors who can meet the stringent performance and logistical demands of incident response missions.
