Amendments issued prior to amendment 09 are not required to be submitted. Description of Changes: The clauses were updated, updated Section B.5.3, D.1.16, notes to awardees and offerors, and the most current wage determination is incorporated. Please review the solicitation entirely. NOTE: Crew Bosses and alternates shall no longer be assigned to specific Type 2 crews. The Contractor will establish and maintain a Government approved Crew Boss roster consisting of individuals who have met all qualifications, experience, and responsibility

requirements as determined by the Government. This will apply to all the 2026 verified Fire Fighter Type 1 (FFT1) as well. At the time of resource order, the contractor will designate a Crew Boss from the approved roster to be attached to any ordered crew based on operational need and availability. Only individuals appearing on the Government-approved roster may serve as Crew Bosses under this agreement. Failure to utilize a Government approved Crew Boss may result in the resource being deemed non-compliant and subject to removal from assignment or suspension in accordance with agreement terms. NOTE: In accordance with the Government’s right to inspect and evaluate training and experience records at any time during the agreement period, the Contractor shall submit complete and current qualification documentation for all personnel identified as Firefighter Type 1 (FFT1) (currently awarded and new quotes).

requirements, may result in the suspension of affected resources from dispatch or performance under this agreement until compliance is verified.

Documentation submitted after June 1 may still be reviewed; however, review will occur at the discretion of the Government based on personnel availability during fire season operations. If documentation indicates that sufficient qualified personnel are not available to support awarded crews, the Government may temporarily limit dispatch of affected resources until adequate staffing can be demonstrated and verified.
