The USDA Forest Service is seeking to establish a firm-fixed-price contract to outfit 25 fire emergency support vehicles for the Eldorado, Inyo, Tahoe, Sierra, and Sequoia National Forests. Under solicitation number 127EAY26Q0034, the selected contractor will supply and install components such as light bars, light heads, siren packages, electrical systems, and specialized striping according to Region 5 and National Fire equipment standards. The project involves various makes and models of light pickups, requiring the integration of all components into stand-alone electrical systems to avoid interfering with vehicle warranties. While a single award is anticipated, the agency may make up to three awards to ensure work is performed using professional commercial practices.

Performance will take place within a 150-mile radius of Placerville, California, to facilitate the delivery of government-furnished vehicles and subsequent inspections. This combined synopsis/solicitation is designated under NAICS 811198 for All Other Automotive Repair and Maintenance and PSC 2590 for Miscellaneous Vehicular Components. The procurement is subject to an SBA set-aside. Interested parties must submit their responses by May 2, 2026, to the primary point of contact, M. Kathy Bosch.

The solicitation includes eight attachments, such as a statement of work, a schedule of items, and multiple wage determinations for Tulare, Inyo, Douglas, Eldorado, Placer, Sierra, and Sequoia counties. These documents were published on April 17, 2026, alongside the notice. The contractor is responsible for providing all necessary components not otherwise furnished by the government and must demonstrate skill in integrating equipment for simultaneous use while minimizing modifications to the original vehicles.
