Chipper for East Zone (Regions 1, 2, and 4)

The USDA Forest Service is issuing a blanket purchase agreement (BPA) to acquire chipper resources (Types 1‑3) for local, regional, and nationwide fire‑suppression, all‑hazard, and prescribed‑fire projects. Each individual order will be limited to the Simplified Acquisition Threshold, and the Government may request resources only as needed; no order guarantee is provided. Offerors must submit a complete technical quote through the VIPR NextGen Vendor Application by 05 July 2026, 16:00 MST, with a validity period of 130 calendar days. The quote must include labor, equipment, supplies, taxes, insurance, transportation, overhead, profit, and all costs required for the equipment/operators/crews to meet the specified standards. A critical requirement is the “open‑season on‑ramping” process (Exhibit H) that validates each chipper’s existence, VIN/serial number, type, and claimed attributes. Offerors must provide at least four pictures per chipper—left‑side, right‑side, and a clear VIN/serial image—and any missing technical documentation will disqualify the resource from award or placement on the Dynamic Procurement List. A single chipper may be awarded under multiple categories, but only one award per category/type is allowed nationwide, and the same Dispatch Center must be selected. The solicitation is set aside for small businesses unless market research shows insufficient small‑business participation.
