The Government is re‑opening Solicitation 12569R23Q7000 for an open‑season Onboarding period. Vendor quote
responses are due no later than 05/8/2026 at 12:00 PST. Vendors must submit responses through the “VIPR NextGen” application located at https://www.fs.usda.gov/business/incident/vendorapp.php?tab=tab_d The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), Forest Service (USFS), originally issued this requirement for Heavy Equipment for West Zone Regions 5 and 6 to support local, regional, and national fire suppression and all‑hazard incidents. This amendment re‑opens the original solicitation to conduct Onboarding in accordance with Exhibit H – Special Contract
Requirements. Onboarding is not a new procurement action. It is conducted under the terms of the original solicitation and issued as an amendment to that solicitation. The original solicitation requires that award decisions during open‑season Onboarding use the same evaluation factors and sub‑factors as the original solicitation. It also requires that any new I‑BPA awards issued through Onboarding be identical to the original awards, including all terms, conditions, and the
period of performance. While the Government will review industry feedback, significant changes are not anticipated, particularly regarding evaluation factors or contract terms. This amendment applies to a Multiple Award Incident Blanket Purchase Agreement (I‑BPA) issued as a 100% Small Business Set‑Aside. The open‑season Onboarding period will run concurrently with the USFS
Contracting Officer’s annual I‑BPA review—commonly referred to as the “Rollover” modification process. During this period, existing I‑BPA awardees may revise rates, modify resources, or add new resources, and new Offerors who meet all
eligibility
