Opportunity Summary

The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Forest Service, Procurement & Property Services (PPS) Incident Procurement, is conducting an open season onboarding period for solicitation 1202SB25Q7001. This requirement provides Heavy Equipment Task Force (HETF) resources for East Zone, Regions 1 and 4, to support local, regional, and national fire suppression and all-hazard incidents. The solicitation is issued as a 100% Small Business Set-Aside (SBA) under NAICS code 115310, Support Activities for Forestry, and PSC F003, Natural Resources/Conservation - Forest-Range Fire Suppression/Presuppression. This onboarding period allows existing awardees to revise rates or resources and permits new offerors to submit quotes for Multiple Award Incident Blanket Purchase Agreements (I-BPAs).

The onboarding process runs concurrently with the annual I-BPA rollover modification process and does not constitute a new procurement action. All new awards will maintain terms, conditions, evaluation factors, and performance periods identical to the original solicitation. Evaluation is based on the original criteria, including Acceptability Pass/Fail requirements. Once the onboarding and annual review processes conclude, newly awarded contractors or resources will be eligible for dispatch and BPA calls according to established ordering procedures.

Vendor quote responses are due no later than May 12, 2026. Submissions must be processed through the VIPR NextGen application. Recent administrative activity for this solicitation includes the publication of an amended solicitation in March 2026 and a subsequent solicitation file in April 2026. James Batty serves as the primary point of contact for this federal opportunity.

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.
