Opportunity Summary

The United States Forest Service (USFS) is re-opening solicitation 1202SB23Q7020 to conduct an open season onboarding for Vehicle with Driver services within Region 4. This requirement supports local, regional, and nationwide fire suppression and all-hazard incidents. The procurement is designated as a 100% Small Business Set-Aside (SBA) and will result in Multiple Award Incident Blanket Purchase Agreements (I-BPAs).

Services fall under NAICS 485999, All Other Transit and Ground Passenger Transportation, and PSC F003, Natural Resources/Conservation- Forest-Range Fire Suppression/Presuppression. Award decisions and terms for new agreements will be identical to the original solicitation, including the evaluation factors and performance period.

Original Description

Re-open Solicitation. Vendor responses to the solicitation are due 02/25/2025 17:00 MST. Please access the 'Open Solicitations' tab in the VIPR Vendor application (https://apps.fs.usda.gov/vipr/vendor/) to start your response. The Department of Agriculture (USDA), US Forest Service (USFS), has a requirement for the East Zone Vehicle with Driver for Region 4 ONLY - for use during Local, Regional, and nationwide fire suppression and all-hazard incidents and was originally solicited under solicitation number 1202SB23Q7020. This amendment is to re-open this solicitation to conduct an open season Onboarding in accordance with Exhibit H - Special Contract Requirements of the original solicitation. IMPORTANT NOTE: Onboarding is not a new procurement and operates differently than a new solicitation. Onboarding is a result of the provisions established in the original solicitation and is issued as a solicitation amendment to the original solicitation. The terms and conditions of the original solicitation require that 'The award decision under the open season solicitation is based upon the same evaluation factors/sub-factors as the original solicitation.' Additionally, the terms and conditions of the original solicitation require that, 'The terms and conditions of any resulting new IBPA awards are identical to the original awards and solicitation, to include period of performance.' Accordingly, while the Government will entertain suggestions and Industry input regarding the Onboarding amendment, the Government anticipates very little change to result from this input, especially as it regards any potential changes to the evaluation factors or resulting terms and conditions. This amendment for Onboarding is against a Multiple Award Incident Blanket Purchase Agreement (IBPA) solicitation issued as a 100% Small Business Set-Aside. The open season Onboarding period will coincide with the USFS Contracting Officer (CO) IBPA Annual Review process, traditionally referred to as a 'Rollover' Modification process for existing IBPA awardees. Existing IBPA awardees will have the same opportunity to revise, modify rates, and add resources the same as potential new contractors do. All proposed resources are subject to the original solicitation criteria. New Offerors that meet the eligibility requirements set forth in the original solicitation may submit a quote response through the VIPR system during open season. Award decisions from an open season solicitation response are based upon the same evaluation factors/sub-factors as the original solicitation. New quote responses must meet all Acceptability Pass/Fail Criteria of the original solicitation. The terms and conditions of any resulting new IBPA awards are identical to the original awards and solicitation, to include period of performance. Immediately after Onboarding and at the conclusion of the CO annual review/rollover modification period, any additional Contractors or accepted new resources to existing agreements are eligible to receive dispatches/BPA Calls with the same ordering procedures as listed within the agreements.
