Heavy Equipment for West Zone Regions 5 and 6

The USDA Forest Service is issuing a Blanket Purchase Agreement to acquire heavy equipment—dozers (four types), tractor‑plows, excavators (four types), and transport units—to support local, regional, and nationwide fire‑suppression, all‑hazard, and Burned Area Emergency Response (BAER) projects in West Zone Regions 5 and 6. Offerors must submit a complete technical quote through the Virtual Incident Procurement (VIPR) Next‑Gen Vendor Application by 05 May 2026, 16:00 PST; the quote must remain valid for 130 calendar days. Technical submissions require specific documentation, including a minimum of eight pictures per dozer/tractor‑plow (front, back, left, right, data‑plate) and a signed Equipment Certification for each piece of equipment. Failure to provide the required pictures and documents will disqualify the offer. The solicitation is a small‑business set‑aside with socioeconomic advantages (up to a 10‑point boost for qualifying HUBZone, Service‑Disabled Veteran‑Owned, 8(a), etc.) and uses a price‑based ranking that incorporates daily rates, minimum daily guarantees, and, for transports, a mileage factor. A single resource may be awarded under multiple categories but only one national award per category/type is allowed. Each individual order is limited to the Simplified Acquisition Threshold, and orders are placed only as incident needs arise; no guarantee of award exists. On‑boarding is conducted under the original solicitation terms via Exhibit H.
