VIPR I-BPA for Heavy Equipment Task Force (HETF) for Region 6 - Pacific Northwest Region

The USDA Forest Service is issuing a blanket purchase‑agreement solicitation for Heavy Equipment Task Forces (HETF) to support local, regional, and nationwide fire‑suppression, all‑hazard, and prescribed‑fire projects in the Northern Rockies, Great Basin, and Pacific Northwest. Contractors must provide fully licensed personnel, equipment, materials, transportation, lodging, and supervision that meet or exceed the specifications in Section D.1. Offers must be submitted through the Virtual Incident Procurement (VIPR) Next‑Gen Vendor Application, including all required technical pictures and documents that validate VIN/serial numbers, equipment type, and claimed capabilities. Quotes are valid for 130 calendar days and must be received by 04/24/2026 14:00 PT; only the price for the basic requirement will be evaluated (options are excluded). The award will be made under an open‑season “on‑ramping” process (Exhibit H) and may be set aside for small businesses unless market research shows insufficient competition. A single resource can be awarded under multiple categories but only one award per resource/category will be made nationally, and the same Dispatch Center must be selected. Vendors should ensure complete, clear, and correctly formatted submissions in VIPR, resolve any SAM registration issues directly at sam.gov, and address any clarification questions in writing at least two weeks before the closing date.
