- Description
- The USDA Forest Service (FS) is seeking sources that can provide a fully operated portable retardant plant for mixing and loading Long Term Fire Retardant from the Qualified Products List (QPL) to be used for delivery with fixed wing Air Tankers. Contractors will be required to supply three representatives to operate the system and provide technical services as needed. Personnel may engage in one or more of the following activities: activation, mixing, loading, relocation, and de-activation. For powder operations a fourth person, mix-master qualified, is to be additionally ordered and provided. Fuel for Mobile Retardant Base Operations will be provided by the Government, prior to mixing and loading, or as Contractor requests. Retardant will be provided under the terms of the National Bulk Retardant Contract and is to be supplied to the Government and properly cared for by the Contractor. The retardant vendor will bill the Government directly for products, freight, and restocking ordered in support of this operation. It is anticipated that the Forest Service will establish a three year Blanket Ordering Agreement with those contractors who have an approved Mobile Retardant Base - Air Tankers. These BOA's would be available for use by Forest Service field units and other federal wildland agencies in support of suppressing wildland fires and prescribed fires. The Forest Service welcomes any interested vendor to reply to this notice by providing the following information: 1. Company Name 2. Point of Contact including phone number and email address 3. Size Status 4. Positive statement of interest and detailed information on the mobile unit. Qualified interested vendors wishing to participate in this market research are requested to provide their response via email to trymer@fs.fed.us by March 16, 2012 at 3:00 pm MST.
