This is an amendment to reopen an existing solicitation for an open season Onboarding period to award new Incident Blanket Purchase Agreements (I BPAs). The performance is for Region 3 - East Zone to provide Potable & Gray Water Truck/Handwashing Station services in support of fire and all-hazard incidents. The Onboarding period allows new vendors to submit quotes and existing awardees to revise their agreements, with all new awards being identical in terms to the original. Vendor quote responses are due by 05/11/2026 at 16:30 MDT and must be submitted through a specified online application. This is a 100% Small Business Set-Aside.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Forest Service is reopening an opportunity for vendors to onboard onto an existing Multiple Award Incident Blanket Purchase Agreement for Potable & Gray Water Truck/Handwashing Station services to support fire and all-hazard incidents in Region 3 - East Zone. This is a 100% Small Business Set-Aside. The open season Onboarding period will run concurrently with the annual contract review process, allowing new vendors to submit quotes and existing awardees to revise their agreements. New submissions will be evaluated using the original solicitation's criteria, and any new awards will have identical terms and conditions. After the processes are complete, newly onboarded contractors or resources will be eligible for task orders.

The USDA Forest Service is reopening an onboarding process for its Multiple Award Incident Blanket Purchase Agreement for trailer-mounted potable and gray water handwashing stations. This is for the Southwest Region (Region 3) for use during fire suppression and all-hazard incidents. The onboarding is not a new procurement; it allows new contractors to join the existing agreement and existing awardees to modify their offerings under the original solicitation's terms. New offerors must submit quotes through the VIPR system during the open season, and any new awards will have identical terms and performance periods as the original. After onboarding, new contractors and added resources become eligible to receive dispatches.

The USDA Forest Service Region 3 anticipates soliciting quotes for mobile water and hand wash stations to support fire suppression and other emergency incidents. The contractor is responsible for providing all necessary equipment, personnel, and logistics, with services potentially used by other federal and state agencies. Proposed rates should be based on a 16-hour daily shift, and awards will be made within specific regional dispatch centers, with vendors encouraged to select the center closest to their resources. The agreement will be competitively awarded as a total Small Business set-aside, resulting in multiple awards. Vendors must be registered in SAM, have a UEI number, and use the VIPR system for all submissions and communications.
