VIPR I-BPA for Crew Carrier Bus for Region 13 - National

The USDA Forest Service is issuing a Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) RFQ (12024B23Q7000‑0001) for Crew Carrier Buses to support local, regional, and nationwide fire‑suppression, all‑hazard, and prescribed‑fire projects. Offerors must submit a technically complete quote through the Virtual Incident Procurement (VIPR) Next‑Gen Vendor Application by 17:00 MDT on 4 April 2026. The quote must remain valid for 130 calendar days and be limited to the Simplified Acquisition Threshold for each order. Technical submissions require a minimum of five photographs—front, rear, left, right views of the vehicle and a clear image of the manufacturer’s data plate with VIN—uploaded in the VIPR system; failure to provide these will result in disqualification. The solicitation is an open‑season onboarding amendment to an existing BPA and may be set‑aside for small businesses, with additional socioeconomic advantages (up to 10 points) for vendors qualifying in HUBZone, Service‑Disabled Veteran‑Owned, and 8(a) categories. Resources may be awarded under multiple categories but only one award per resource type nationwide, and the same Dispatch Center must be selected for each. All required representations, certifications, and FAR provisions (including numerous labor, ethics, and payment clauses) must be completed as directed in the solicitation.
