How to select a Host Dispatch Center when responding to a solicitation

northwest region northern rockies eastern east basin rocky mountain southern southwest north ops south ops west basin

To respond to solicitations using the VIPR Vendor Solution, Vendors will need to know which Host Dispatch Center to select on the resource (equipment) forms.

To determine the appropriate Host Dispatch Center to use, do the following:

  1. Using the map above, click on the Region/geographic area that corresponds to the solicitation and is in the geographic area where you wish to submit an offer.
  2. From the list, select a Host Dispatch Center.
  3. Make a note of the Unit Identifier, which you will use when you complete the appropriate resource (equipment) information forms that are included in the solicitation package (VIPR Vendor Solution).

What you need to know about the Dispatch Center drop-down list in the resource (equipment) information forms in the VIPR Vendor Solution:

  • The lists are alphabetical by State and then by the Dispatch Center (i.e. AL-AIC, AR-AOC… WY-TDC).
  • An example of how to find the Dispatch Center: if you are responding to a solicitation from Forest Service Region 5, California, you would first look at the Host Dispatch Centers that start with “CA,” and then select the Host Dispatch Center for the city from which you wish to be dispatched, say, Redding; the Dispatch center Unit Identifier is CA-RICC.
  • If you select a Host Dispatch Center that appears to be incongruent with your Vendor location, the Contracting Officer may request that you review your selection and possibly re-submit your offer.
