- Description
- The USDA Forest Service, Southwestern Region (Region 3), is soliciting quotes (RFQ) for Mechanic with Service Truck for use during local, Regional, and Nationwide fire suppression and all-hazard incidents. The Contractor is responsible for all equipment, materials, supplies, transportation, lodging, trained/certified personnel, and supervision and management of those personnel, necessary to meet or exceed the Agreement specifications. The resources may be used in fire suppression and all-hazard incidents. 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 8(a) small business concerns, HUBZone small business concerns and/or Service Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) concerns. If there are insufficient 8(a), HUBZone, and SDVOSB concerns to meet the anticipated need, additional awards will be made to responsible small business concerns.
