This is a reopening of an existing solicitation for an open season Onboarding period to add new vendors and resources to a Multiple Award Incident Blanket Purchase Agreement (IBPA) for Mobile Sleepers. The performance location is Region 13 - National to support fire suppression and all-hazard incidents. The Onboarding period will run concurrently with the annual contract review process, allowing existing awardees to update their agreements and new vendors to submit quotes for consideration. Any new awards will have identical terms, conditions, and period of performance as the original agreements. After the processes are complete, new contractors or resources will be eligible for task orders.

The USDA Forest Service anticipates awarding multiple Blanket Purchase Agreements for Mobile Sleeper Unit services to support emergency incidents like fire suppression in Regions 3, 4, 5, and 6. The performance location requires that a vendor's resource be within 450 miles of their selected Dispatch Center. This is a total small business set-aside under NAICS 115310, with a size standard of $34 million. The solicitation will be posted electronically on or about February 28, 2024. Vendors must be registered in SAM.gov and use the VIPR Vendor Web Application, which requires a Level 2 eAuthentication account, to respond.
