Rapid Extraction Module (REMS)

The U.S. Forest Service is preparing to recompete the Rapid Extraction Module (REMS) contract under its National Solicitation Plan, with the solicitation planned for fiscal year 2029 and a recurrence cycle every three years. This contract will be awarded as an Incident Blanket Purchase Agreement, enabling rapid acquisition of resources in support of emergency response operations across the nation. The scope is national in scale, meaning the contractor will be expected to provide services throughout the United States without geographic limitations. The contract is forecasted to be posted in August 2026 to allow sufficient time for market research and preparation, though no solicitation number, NAICS code, or set-aside details have been finalized. Performance locations are not specified, indicating flexibility in where services may be required, and the contracting office is under the Department of Agriculture. The arrangement is designed to ensure consistent and scalable access to rapid extraction capabilities for incidents such as wildfires, natural disasters, and other emergencies requiring swift logistical support.
