VIPR I-BPA for Fuel Tenders Regions 1, 2, and 4

The USDA Forest Service is issuing a multiple‑award RFQ for “Fuel Tender” resources to support local, regional, and nationwide fire‑suppression, all‑hazard, and prescribed‑fire projects in Regions 1, 2, and 4. Offerors must submit a complete technical quote through the Virtual Incident Procurement (VIPR) Next Gen System, including a minimum of eight photographs of each vehicle (front, rear, left, right, VIN data plate, and all fuel‑tank capacity plates) and certify that all equipment, personnel, transportation, lodging, and related supplies meet the specifications in Section D.2. Quotes must remain valid for 130 calendar days, reflect pricing for a 16‑hour daily shift, and be entered by vendors who maintain a valid email address, a SAM registration with a Unique Entity ID, and a Login.gov account. The solicitation is set‑aside for small businesses unless market research shows insufficient competition, and a socioeconomic advantage of up to 10 points is available for vendors meeting multiple categories (e.g., HUBZone, SDVOSB, 8(a)). Only resources that pass the mandatory technical evaluation and any pre‑use inspections will be eligible for award; non‑compliant submissions will be rejected or placed on a DPL. Each resource may receive only one award per category/type nationwide, and the selected dispatch center must be consistent for that resource. Vendors must adhere to all VIPR Next Gen submission requirements, as outlined in Sections E.1 and E.2, to be considered for award.
