Opportunity Summary

The U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service, through the Procurement and Property Services Incident Procurement office, has reopened solicitation 1202SB25Q7001 for an open season onboarding period. This requirement involves the establishment of Virtual Incident Procurement (VIPR) Incident Blanket Purchase Agreements (I-BPA) for Heavy Equipment Task Force (HETF) services in Regions 1 and 4 only. These resources support local, regional, and national fire suppression and all-hazard incidents. The solicitation is designated as a 100% Small Business Set-Aside under the SBA program, falling under NAICS code 115310 for Support Activities for Forestry and PSC F003 for Natural Resources/Conservation- Forest-Range Fire Suppression/Presuppression.

Onboarding is conducted under the terms of the original solicitation and is not a new procurement action. During this period, which runs concurrently with the annual rollover modification process, existing agreement holders may revise rates or modify resources, while new offerors may submit quotes for consideration. All resulting awards will feature terms, conditions, evaluation factors, and periods of performance identical to the original agreements. New quote submissions must meet all acceptability pass/fail requirements and will be evaluated using the original solicitation's criteria. Once the onboarding and annual review processes are finalized, newly awarded contractors or resources will be eligible for dispatch and BPA calls according to established ordering procedures.

Responses for this open season onboarding must be submitted through the VIPR NextGen application by the deadline of May 12, 2026. James Batty serves as the primary point of contact for this solicitation. Administrative documentation includes two attachments: the original solicitation and an amended version of the solicitation. All resources proposed must meet the specific criteria established in the initial requirement to be considered for an award.

Original Description

The Government is re opening Solicitation 1202SB25Q7001 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 Task Force (HETF) – East Zone, Region 1 & 4 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.
