The United States Department of Agriculture Forest Service is reopening solicitation 12024B24Q7002 for an open season onboarding period to provide helicopter operations support for the National Zone Region 13.

This onboarding process is conducted under the terms of the original solicitation to maintain a Multiple Award Incident Blanket Purchase Agreement (I-BPA).

Any resulting new I-BPA awards will be identical to the original agreements in terms, conditions, and period of performance. Evaluation for new quotes follows the same acceptability pass/fail requirements and factors used in the initial solicitation.

Original Description

The Government is re opening Solicitation 12024B24Q7002 for an open season Onboarding period. Vendor quote responses are due no later than 05/11/2026 at 17:00 MDT. 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 Helicopter Operations Support – National Zone Region 13 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.
