  • Virtual Incident PRocurement (VIPR) »

    VIPR is a web based Forest Service application  designed to solicit, award, and manage pre-season I-BPAs ( Incident Blanket Purchase Agreements).  The Agreements awarded through VIPR are competitive based on best value. This website http://www.fs.fed.us/business/incident/vipr/ contains essential information and guidance for Vendors on the VIPR program, including:  the necessary steps to become a vendor, links to the software required to open and edit the electronic  VIPR solicitations, VIPR vendor user guides  & a web based tutorial,  links to the dispatch priority, and awarded VIPR agreements.

    • VIPR Vendor Web Application -
      IMPORTANT NOTICE TO VENDORS
      • Any vendors that had 2009 agreements under resource categories that are being resolicited (mobile laundry, potable water/gray water/trailer-mounted handwashing stations, and portable toilets) must register in the vendor app in order to respond to the 2012 solicitations.  Once they register, some of the information from their 2009 resources will be pre-loaded into the vendor app -- the vendors will need to carefully check the information and edit as necessary. 
      • All vendors interested in submitting an offer in VIPR in 2012 are encouraged to register in the vendor app. http://www.fs.fed.us/business/incident/pilotvendorapp.php
      • Level II eAuthentication- Your eAuth passwords expire after 180 days, and a user must login within 49 days of expiration or the password will be expired.  Rule of thumb for vendors is tolog into your eAuth account at least every 3-4 months to keep it active.
