Incident Base Unit for Region 5 - Pacific Southwest Region ONLY

The U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service is issuing an RFQ (Solicitation 12569R25Q7004‑0001) to establish Blanket Purchase Agreements for Incident Base Units (IBU) that will support local, regional, and nationwide fire‑suppression, all‑hazard, and prescribed‑fire projects. Offerors must submit a complete technical quote—including validated photographs, VIN/serial numbers, equipment type, and any claimed attributes—through the VIPR NextGen Vendor Application by 17:00 PST on May 4 2026. Quotes must remain valid for 130 calendar days and contain all cost elements (labor, equipment, supplies, taxes, insurance, transportation, overhead, profit) to meet the daily‑rate structure; non‑operable resources may be converted to hourly rates. The solicitation is set aside for multiple small‑business categories (HUBZone, SDVOSB, WOSB, EDWOSB) and is a rated order under DPAS. A unique “on‑ramping” open‑season process will allow existing contractors to add new resources during the annual review and permit qualified new vendors to submit quotes under the same evaluation criteria as the original award. All technical evaluation data must be entered in the VIPR system; submissions outside this platform will be rejected. Orders are subject to the Simplified Acquisition Threshold, and placement of any order is not guaranteed due to the unpredictable nature of incident activity.
