Solicitations

National Solicitation Templates

National Solicitation Templates have been established to provide consistency in the acquisition methodology, methods of hire, and equipment typing and standards throughout the Forest Service. The solicitation templates posted below are current as of the Revision Date.

NOTE: Due to frequent changes in acquisition rules and clauses it is necessary to periodically update these templates. The latest version will always be updated in the VIPR system. Awarded agreements, Incident Blanket Purchase Agreements (I-BPA), will in most instances be modified to incorporate the latest changes as well.

Regular Solicitations

Contracting opportunities can be found by searching the Federal Business Opportunities Web site (FedBizOpps) at FedBizOpps.

IMPORTANT: The Forest Service solicitation packages that are posted to FedBizOpps can only be viewed, completed, and submitted using the free Formatta Filler software; other applications that are used to view and fill in forms (i.e. Adobe Reader) will NOT work with the VIPR Vendor Solution.

Visit the VIPR Vendor Support Web page to find the Formatta Filler Installation instructions, as well as user guides for using the VIPR Vendor Solution.
