VIPR I-BPA for Heavy Equipment Task Force (HETF) for Regions 1 and 4 ONLY

The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), Forest Service (USFS), is seeking vendors for a Multiple Award Incident Blanket Purchase Agreement (I-BPA) to support local, regional, and national fire suppression and all-hazard incidents. The I-BPA is for Heavy Equipment Task Force (HETF) services in Regions 1 and 4 ONLY. The solicitation is set aside for small business concerns, and awards will be made to responsible quoters whose quotes conform to the solicitation and are advantageous to the Government, considering price and other factors. Some key points to consider: • The I-BPA will be awarded for a base period with annual review modifications. • Vendors must submit quotes through the VIPR NextGen application. • The USFS will review industry feedback, but significant changes are not anticipated. • New I-BPA awards will be identical to the original awards, including terms, conditions, and period of performance. • Existing I-BPA awardees may revise rates, modify resources, or add new resources during the annual review period.
