The U.S. Forest Service issued this pre-solicitation notice for a Virtual Incident Procurement (VIPR) Incident Blanket Purchase Agreement (I-BPA) concerning miscellaneous heavy equipment for the Southern Region (Region 8). This procurement is classified under NAICS code 115310, Support Activities for Forestry, and PSC code F. The opportunity is designated as a Small Business Administration (SBA) set-aside.
