The USDA Forest Service's Equipment and Services Branch in the East Zone is preparing to issue a solicitation for Heavy Equipment with Water for Regions 1, 2, 4, and 9 to support fire suppression, all-hazard incidents, and prescribed project work across various locations. The contract requires the selected vendors to provide all necessary equipment, personnel, transportation, and accommodations to meet or exceed the specified requirements, with the flexibility for interagency cooperators such as DOI, NPS, BIA, and state agencies to utilize the agreement under their own terms. Rates should be based on a 16-hour shift, and payments will be made according to the rates in effect at the time of each order. The agreements will be awarded competitively, with the possibility of adding additional contractors or resources through an annual on-ramping process, as determined by the USFS Fire and Aviation Management Regional Program Office. Vendors must register and conduct all communications through the VIPR system, ensuring they have a valid UEI, active SAM registration, and a Login.gov account. Quotes must be submitted electronically via the designated vendor application link.

Full Description
The Government is re opening Solicitation 1202SB25Q7005 for an open season Onboarding period. Vendor quote responses are due no later than 05/11/2026 at 17:00 PST. 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 Heavy Equipment With Water – East Zone, Regions 1, 2, 4, & 9 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.
