Total Small Business Set-Aside (FAR 19.5)

The USDA Forest Service seeks to establish multiple preseason Incident Blanket Purchase Agreements for providing an Incident Base Unit to support fire suppression and all-hazard incidents in the Pacific Southwest Region (Region 5). The contractor is fully responsible for providing all necessary equipment, personnel, and logistics, and resources may be dispatched from regional centers, with vendors advised to select the dispatch center closest to their resource location. The agreement is a total Small Business set-aside, and performance is tied to the West Zone of Region 5. Vendor proposals must be submitted electronically through the VIPR system, which requires specific registrations including SAM.gov and a Login.gov account. Proposed rates should be based on a 16-hour daily shift.
