VIPR I-BPA for Vehicle with Driver for Region 5 - Pacific Southwest Region

The United States Forest Service issued this combined synopsis and solicitation to establish Virtual Incident Procurement (VIPR) Incident Blanket Purchase Agreements (I-BPAs) for vehicles with drivers. These resources will support the Pacific Southwest Region, identified as Region 5, with services primarily performed in California. This procurement is classified under NAICS code 485999, All Other Transit and Ground Passenger Transportation, and PSC V129, Transportation/Travel/Relocation- Transportation: Other. The solicitation is designated as an SBA set-aside.

Prospective vendors must submit their responses by the deadline of April 14, 2020, at 14:00 Pacific Time. Submission requirements include a completed Vendor Check Sheet and other required responses as detailed in the solicitation documentation. Administrative updates to the notice extended the original response date and revised the submission instructions for the pre-award check sheet. Lydia Moore-Ward serves as the point of contact for this requirement, which is identified by solicitation number 129J6120Q7004.

The solicitation includes four attachments: two versions of the Vehicle with Driver pre-award check sheet, the formal solicitation document, and an additional solicitation file. These documents provide the necessary framework for vendors to participate in the I-BPA process for regional fire and incident support. Vendors who have already submitted their required materials are not required to resubmit unless proof of delivery is unavailable, and there is no requirement to sign or mail a hard copy of the amendment.
