View moreRates: Proposed rates must reflect up to a 16‑hour daily shift and include all pricing elements identified in Section B.2, Pricing and Estimated Quantity. Per Section D.21.8.1, Rates of Payments, payment will be made at the rates in effect at the time of order issuance.
Dispatch Centers: Agreements will be competitively awarded within the advertised and available regional dispatch centers. Vendors are strongly encouraged to select the dispatch center closest to the physical location of their resources to ensure timely response to incident needs and to provide best value to the Government regarding travel costs for potential dispatches/BPA Calls. Because wildland fire locations cannot be predicted at the time of award, selecting a host dispatch center or zone far from the resource’s actual location may reduce dispatch opportunities and hinder the Government’s ability to meet critical response timelines. Dispatch center information is available at: https://www.nifc.gov/nicc/
Set‑Asides: The Government anticipates awarding multiple preseason Incident Blanket Purchase Agreements (I‑BPAs) under a total Small Business set‑aside, with additional consideration applied per Section B.6, Socioeconomic Status Advantage Applicable to DPL Ranking.
