Incident Resources Agreement (IRA) program
Thank you for your interest in assisting with wildland firefighting in Oregon! ODF has updated its internal protocols to offer potential vendors the opportunity to provide fire resources through administration of the ODF Incident Resources Agreement (IRA) program at a statewide level. We are working hand-in-hand with our field offices to integrate efficient business practices with emphases on the culture and diversity of landowner/community relationships in Oregon.
Private contractors provide an array of firefighting resources to ODF and its partnering agencies for wildfire mitigation, including aircraft, hand crews, heavy equipment, engines/tenders, medical units, security services and others. These assets and services are secured by ODF Call-When-Needed (CWN) Incident Resource Agreements (IRA). IRA contractors may work within a specific ODF district, or under statewide ODF jurisdiction.
Current IRA contractors: Current, fully executed 2020/21 IRAs, will be effective through Dec. 31, 2021. You will be contacted if ODF requires current or updated training/insurance certificates or equipment inspections.
You may contact ODF at pcsu@oregon.gov at any time to provide updated materials.

- Vendors will receive an email notification when completed forms have been received. Applications will be reviewed, and resources may be pre-inspected (for) prior to execution of an agreement.
- All IRA Vendors, regardless of resource type, must complete and submit a current W-9 form with their application documents and must be registered in the OregonBuys system to enable payment.
- Vendors that currently have equipment on a U.S. Forest Service (USFS) Virtual Incident Procurement (VIPR) agreement will not be granted an IRA for the same piece(s) of equipment. ODF intends to utilize VIPR resources when practical, therefore eliminating the need for duplicity.
