USDA Forest Service National Interagency Fire Center (NIFC) - 2022 Call When Needed (CWN) Mobile Food Service Units (MFSU) Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA)

This combined synopsis/solicitation and resultant Blanket Purchase Agreements (BPAs) are to provide Call When Needed (CWN) Mobile Food Service Units (MFSUs) at various field locations during wildland fire and other types of incidents throughout the contiguous western United States after all Nationally contracted MFSUs have been ordered or determined unavailable, and as the need becomes known to the Government. The expectation and desired result of the attached Statement of Work (SOW) is to provide appetizing, nutritional, well-balanced hot/cold meals, sack lunches, hot/cold can meals and supplemental items. All meals are to be freshly prepared at the incident (please see the SOW for complete details).

This acquisition will result in commercial, multiple-award BPAs, under the authority of Federal Acquisition Regulations (FAR), Part 12, Acquisition of Commercial Products and Commercial Services in conjunction with FAR Part 13, Simplified Acquisition Procedures. The BPA’s may be used by multiple State and Federal wildland fire agencies and will result in multiple agreements. The dollar limitation for any individual order is the Simplified Acquisition Threshold (SAT) ($7.5M IAW Agency procedure). Since the needs of the Government and availability of Contractor's resources during an emergency cannot be determined in advance, it is mutually agreed that, upon request of the Government, the Contractor shall furnish the resources listed herein to the extent the Contractor is willing and able at the time of order. Due to the sporadic occurrence of incident activity, the placement of any orders IS NOT GUARANTEED.

Offerors shall complete the Schedule of Items – CWN MFSUs Item Detail and Price Schedule (attached separately) for the 2022 Calendar Year for all equipment and services they propose to offer. The Contractor is responsible for furnishing and managing all equipment, materials, supplies, trained/certified personnel, laborers, transportation and lodging necessary to meet the agreement specifications as identified in the SOW. Pricing/Terms for subsequent years will be requested annually through an updated combined synopsis/solicitation posted to SAM.gov.

The effective period of the resultant BPAs will be June 1, 2022 – May 31, 2032, subject to Annual Review IAW FAR 13.303-6 and custom clause #4.

The physical home location of the CWN MFSUs will be considered the Designated Dispatch Point (DDP) for the Offeror’s personnel and equipment. Wildland fire and other types of incidents occur in the contiguous western United States; BPAs will be established with MFS Units located in these areas.
