- Description
- The USDA Forest Service, Southwestern Region (Region 3), is soliciting quotes (RFQ) for Tents (to include Canopies) for use during local, Regional, and Nationwide fire suppression and all-hazard incidents. The Contractor is responsible for all equipment, transportation to/from incident, and setup/take down necessary to meet or exceed the Agreement specifications. The Agreements will be competitively awarded within Region 3. The Government anticipates awarding multiple Incident Blanket Purchase Agreements (I-BPA) using a cascading set-aside order of preference first to responsible, eligible HUBZone small business concerns and/or Service Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) concerns. If there are insufficient HUBZone and SDVOSB concerns to meet the anticipated need, additional awards will be made to responsible small business concerns. The solicitation will be issued using the Virtual Incident Procurement (VIPR) system; to use VIPR you must have access to a computer with internet capabilities. Basic information about the VIPR system and a vendor user guide is located on the web at http://www.fs.fed.us/business/incident/vipr.php. Other information for vendors is listed below: 1) The Forest Service solicitation packages that are posted to FedBizOpps can only be viewed, completed, and submitted using the free Formatta Filler software; other applications that are used to view and fill in forms (i.e. Adobe Reader) will NOT work with the VIPR Vendor Solution.

An e-mail address is required for all of the following registrations. 3) Vendors must have a valid D-U-N-S Number. Request a D-U-N-S Number from Dun and Bradstreet on the web at http://www.dnb.com/us/duns_update/ 4) Register in the Central Contractor Registry (CCR) and complete the Online Registration and Certifications Application (ORCA) as stated in the solicitation.
