Mobile Communications Unit for Region 13 - National

The U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service is reopening its original solicitation for a Mobile Communications Unit (National Zone, Region 13) to support local, regional, and nationwide fire‑suppression, all‑hazard, and prescribed‑fire operations. Vendors must submit a complete quote by 5 May 2026, 17:00 MDT through the “VIPR NextGen” vendor application (https://www.fs.usda.gov/business/incident/vendorapp.php?tab=tab_d). The quote, which remains valid for 130 calendar days, must follow the same evaluation factors as the original solicitation and include the required technical documentation to demonstrate operational acceptability per Section D.2. Specifically, offerors must upload at least nine pictures/files of the mobile communications trailer—one clear image of the manufacturer’s data plate showing the VIN, and four exterior views (each side, front, and rear)—along with any other documents that verify the resource’s existence, serial number, type, and claimed attributes. Submissions lacking these required items will be rejected and the resource will not be placed on the Dispatch Priority List (DPL). Socio‑economic preferences are applied: vendors that qualify for multiple targeted categories (e.g., HUBZone, Service‑Disabled Veteran‑Owned, 8(a)) receive cumulative advantage points, capped at ten, for DPL placement. All technical and pricing information must be entered within the VIPR NextGen system; submissions outside this portal may be deemed non‑responsive. Offerors should reference the solicitation provisions (e.g., FAR 52.212‑1) and may access full texts via acquisition.gov or the online help links provided in the application.
