This solicitation is to establish a Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) for purchasing fuel tender services in support of the forest's prescribed fire program for the Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest located in Utah. The vendor(s) shall furnish supplies or services, if and when requested by the Contracting Officer or the authorized representative of the Contracting Officer.

Services under this agreement will provide an onsite fuel tender at different locations on the Forest to support the implementation of three prescribed fires - Blacksmith Fork, Hoop Lake, and Bear Lake.
