The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Forest Service plans to issue a Request for Quotes for East Zone Fuel Tenders to support fire suppression and other incident response work across multiple regions. The contract is a total Small Business set-aside, with multiple preseason Blanket Purchase Agreements to be awarded. Contractors are responsible for providing all necessary equipment, personnel, and logistics, and must propose rates for up to 16-hour daily shifts. Resources will be dispatched through regional centers, and vendors are strongly encouraged to align their resource location with a nearby dispatch center to ensure timely response. All submissions and communications must be conducted electronically through the Virtual Incident Procurement (VIPR) Next Gen System.
