Oregon Department of Forestry Interagency Firefighting Crew Agreement
(IFCA)2020-2021 Agreement Period
Protection Contract Services Unit
Oregon Department of Forestry
IFCA Background
ODF has been administering the IFCA in cooperation with other PNWCG member agencies since 2003, in an effort to coordinate and provide the most efficient and cost effective deployment of wildland fire fighting resources to the Pacific Northwest region and across the nation.
The Protection Services Contract Unit (PCSU) provides the specification development, solicitation/procurement and administration functions of the IFCA. Our staff participates in collaboration with user agencies and region 6 partners in the development of agreement concepts, language and administration direction. The PCSU also provides IFCA compliance monitoring, investigations and enforcement of agreement specifications. The PCSU is funded primarily by user agencies and provides annual billings for reimbursement of unit costs.
Our mission is to provide sustained support for IFCA resources, strengthen contractor relations, strengthen government partnerships and alignment, increase overall engagement, collaboration and communication, and employ business improvements based of effectiveness evaluation.
