Portable Pumps and Pump Systems

The contract seeks the supply of portable wildland fire pumps, including 5-inch trash pumps and backpack pumps, designed for critical fire response applications such as dewatering, drafting water from natural sources like streams, and providing structural protection during wildland fires. These pump systems must meet rigorous performance standards to ensure reliability in harsh, remote environments where traditional water access is limited or unavailable. The equipment is intended to support rapid deployment by firefighting teams and must be durable, lightweight, and easy to operate under extreme conditions. This is a subcontract opportunity under the Small Business Administration set-aside program, with the North American Industry Classification System code 333911 indicating it falls under the manufacture of irrigation, fire, and other industrial pumps. The solicitation was posted on May 5, 2026, and all responses are due by May 8, 2026, at 7:00 PM. The contracting agency is the USDA Forest Service under the Department of Agriculture, and the pumps will be deployed across federal wildland fire operations. The place of performance and point of contact details are not specified, but successful vendors will be expected to deliver equipment capable of supporting nationwide firefighting missions as needed.
