VIPR I-BPA for Water Handling for Region 6 - Pacific Northwest Region

The USDA Forest Service is reopening its Water Handling (West Zone, Region 6) solicitation to onboard resources for local, regional, and nationwide fire‑suppression, all‑hazard, and Burned Area Emergency Response (BAER) work. Offerors must submit a technical quote through the VIPR NextGen Vendor Application by 04 / 24 / 2026 14:00 PT, including a minimum of eight clear photographs: one of the full manufacturer’s vehicle data plate (showing VIN, GAWR, GVWR, year, make and model) and four full‑view images of the resource’s front, back, left and right sides. The quote must validate the resource’s existence, VIN/serial number, type, and any claimed capabilities; it remains valid for 130 calendar days and will be evaluated under the original solicitation’s factors. Only submissions made within VIPR NextGen will be considered, and failure to provide the required pictures and documents will result in exclusion from award and placement on the DPL. The amendment does not create a new procurement; it initiates an open‑season onboarding process (Exhibit H) and will result in multiple BPA agreements, each order limited to the Simplified Acquisition Threshold with no guarantee of tasking. A single resource may be awarded under only one national category/type, and small‑business set‑aside provisions apply unless market research dictates an unrestricted award. Offerors must ensure all technical data are accurate and complete, as any discrepancies will disqualify the submission.
