About this IDV
Fire Ignition Resources LLC, a self-certified small disadvantaged business based in Talladega, Alabama, was awarded a single-award Blanket Purchase Agreement valued at $2,000,000 by the National Interagency Fire Center on August 9, 2021, with a performance period extending through January 31, 2026. The BPA was established to procure aerial ignition spheres—specifically 1.25-inch high-impact polystyrene spheres containing potassium permanganate (Premo Fireball spheres)—for use in wildland fire management operations. The solicitation was posted on June 25, 2021, with a due date of July 30, 2021, and no set-aside designation was utilized for this award. These specialized pyrotechnic devices are designed to be loaded into aerial dispensers, typically mounted on helicopters, where they are injected into fire zones to initiate controlled burning operations across federal lands managed by the U.S. Forest Service and affiliated agencies.
Six task orders have been issued against this BPA, collectively valued at approximately $1,369,371.52, demonstrating sustained demand for the contractor's products across multiple federal regions and fiscal years. Task order awards include: an August 2021 call worth approximately $197,946 for fiscal year 2021 procurement (Boise, Idaho); a May 2022 call for $64,050 to the Southern Region (Mountain Rest, South Carolina); a June 2022 call for $172,460 to the National Interagency Fire Center (Talladega, Alabama); a May 2023 call for $40,460 designated as a total small business set-aside (Talladega, Alabama); a May 2024 call for $480,623 to the Southwestern Region for the Prescott National Forest (Prescott, Arizona); and a September 2025 moratorium exception call for $311,832.52 for aerial ignition device development focused on ping-pong ball technology (Talladega, Alabama). The contractor's established position as a trusted supplier of critical fire management technologies has enabled consistent procurement across multiple U.S. Forest Service regions and partner agencies supporting prescribed burning and wildfire prevention initiatives.
