VIPR I-BPA for Miscellaneous Heavy Equipment for Region 3 and 8 East Zone

The USDA Forest Service (USFS) East Zone (Regions 3 & 8) is re‑opening solicitation 1202SB24Q7008 for Miscellaneous Heavy Equipment to support local, regional, and nationwide fire‑suppression and all‑hazard incidents. This amendment initiates an open‑season “Onboarding” under Exhibit H of the original Multiple‑Award Incident Blanket Purchase Agreement (IBPA). Existing IBPA awardees may revise rates and add resources, and any new contractors that meet the original eligibility criteria may submit quotes through the VIPR Vendor system (deadline 03/04/2025 23:00 MST). All proposals must satisfy the original solicitation’s acceptability pass/fail criteria, and award decisions will be based on the same evaluation factors/sub‑factors and terms and conditions—including period of performance—as the original solicitation. The requirement is a total small‑business set‑aside (100 % SBA) under NAICS 115310. To assist vendors, the USFS Equipment Service Branch and Fire & Aviation Management will host two virtual Fire Vendor Outreach Sessions via Microsoft Teams on Wednesday Feb 5 2025 (4 pm PST) and Wednesday Feb 19 2025 (3 pm PST); no registration is required. Questions should be directed to James Batty (james.batty@usda.gov, 541‑797‑4794). All responses must be entered in the “Open Solicitations” tab of the VIPR Vendor application (https://apps.fs.usda.gov/vipr/vendor/).
