The contract seeks a subcontractor to provide specialized transport services for faller crews and heavy felling equipment to remote locations impacted by wildfires and other emergency incidents. Services must be delivered with strict adherence to federal vehicle safety standards and hazardous materials transportation regulations, ensuring the safe and timely movement of personnel and critical equipment into high-risk, hard-to-reach areas. The work is essential for supporting wildfire response operations and requires demonstrated capability in logistics under dynamic and often challenging environmental conditions. The contract is classified under NAICS code 484220 for specialized freight trucking and is set aside for small businesses under the SBA program. Proposals are due by May 7, 2026, and performance will occur across unspecified remote areas where emergency incidents arise, with no fixed primary location identified. The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Forest Service is the contracting agency, managing procurement through its Incident Procurement office, and subcontractors must be prepared to operate under urgent timelines and variable geographic demands as incidents unfold.
