This action is not a new procurement but an amendment to the original solicitation, designed to onboard new vendors and allow existing awardees to adjust rates, resources, or add new capabilities concurrent with the annual I-BPA Rollover process. All submissions must be made electronically through the VIPR NextGen application by 5:00 p.m. MDT on May 7, 2026, and must meet the same operational acceptability standards, evaluation factors, and contract terms as the original award. Evaluation is based on a trade-off methodology considering operational viability (a pass/fail threshold), price reasonableness, and past performance dependability risk, with only offerors assessed as low or unknown risk considered eligible. New awards issued through this Onboarding period will mirror the original agreements in all terms, conditions, and period of performance, expected to run from June 2026 through June 2028 with annual performance focused on fire suppression and BAER activities from March through September. Vendors must be certified small businesses as defined by NAICS code 115310 and must provide their Unique Entity Identifier (UEI) via SAM; CAGE codes are not required.

Full Description
The Government is re opening Solicitation 1202SB23Q7009 for an open season Onboarding period. Vendor quote responses are due no later than 05/07/2026 at 17:00 MDT. Vendors must submit responses through the “VIPR NextGen” application located at https://www.fs.usda.gov/business/incident/vendorapp.php?tab=tab_d The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), Forest Service (USFS), originally issued this requirement for Fallers – East Zone, Region 3 only to support local, regional, and national fire suppression and all hazard incidents. This amendment re opens the original solicitation to conduct Onboarding in accordance with Exhibit H – Special Contract Requirements. Onboarding is not a new procurement action. It is conducted under the terms of the original solicitation and issued as an amendment to that solicitation. The original solicitation requires that award decisions during open season Onboarding use the same evaluation factors and sub factors as the original solicitation. It also requires that any new I BPA awards issued through Onboarding be identical to the original awards, including all terms, conditions, and the period of performance. While the Government will review industry feedback, significant changes are not anticipated, particularly regarding evaluation factors or contract terms. This amendment applies to a Multiple Award Incident Blanket Purchase Agreement (I BPA) issued as a 100% Small Business Set Aside. The open season Onboarding period will run concurrently with the USFS Contracting Officer’s annual I BPA review—commonly referred to as the “Rollover” modification process. During this period, existing I BPA awardees may revise rates, modify resources, or add new resources, and new Offerors who meet all eligibility requirements may submit quotes for consideration. All proposed resources must meet the criteria established in the original solicitation. New quote submissions must meet all Acceptability Pass/Fail requirements and will be evaluated using the same evaluation factors as the original solicitation. Any resulting new I BPA awards will be identical in terms and conditions to the original agreements. After the Onboarding and annual review/rollover processes are complete, any newly awarded Contractors or newly accepted resources added to existing agreements will be eligible for dispatch and BPA Calls in accordance with the ordering procedures in the agreements.
