Federal
Smokey Bear Wildfire Prevention Outreach ServicesThe USDA Forest Service, through its Fire and Aviation Management division, intends to establish a sole-source Firm-Fixed-Price Blanket Purchase Agreement with Friends of Smokey Bear Balloon to deliver nationwide wildfire prevention outreach services using authorized Smokey Bear inflatable imagery. This acquisition, conducted under FAR Part 12 and FAR Part 13, leverages simplified procedures and specifically relies on FAR 13.106-1(b)(1) and FAR 13.303 to justify the use of a single source due to the federally protected nature of the Smokey Bear image and the contractor’s exclusive possession of both authorized usage rights and aerial operational capability. The services required include static and aerial displays of Smokey Bear inflatables operating up to 3,000 feet AGL, public engagement at fairs and festivals, wildfire prevention education, transportation and logistics, maintenance, insurance, fuel, and operational crew support. The BPA will have a five-year ordering period and is classified under NAICS Code 487990, with the contract value falling below the Simplified Acquisition Threshold. The agency has determined that no other entity can legally or operationally meet the requirement due to the unique combination of federally authorized imagery rights and aerial display expertise held only by this contractor. All interested parties are invited to submit a capability statement within fifteen calendar days demonstrating their ability to provide authorized Smokey Bear imagery, aerial and static inflatable capabilities, and nationwide outreach services, but no reimbursement will be provided for submission costs. Proposals must be submitted electronically to Contracting Officer Amelia Velasco by the June 6, 2026 deadline.
