Talbott Enterprises LLC, doing business as Boulder Creek Wildfire, was awarded a multiple-award Indefinite Delivery Contract by the National Interagency Fire Center (NIFC) on February 6, 2026, with a $250,000 ceiling value and performance period extending through May 30, 2030. This Total Small Business set-aside contract procures water handling services, equipment, materials, supplies, transportation, and trained personnel to support fire suppression, all-hazard incident response, and prescribed project work across U.S. Forest Service East Zone Regions 1, 2, 4, and 9. The contract utilizes the Virtual Incident Procurement (VIPR) system to establish Incident Blanket Purchase Agreements (I-BPAs) through competitive multiple-award mechanisms, with optional availability to interagency cooperators including the Department of Interior, National Park Service, and Bureau of Indian Affairs. Talbott Enterprises LLC, a woman-owned small business based in Middleton, Idaho, leverages its specialized expertise in wildfire management and emergency response logistics to fulfill these requirements.

The underlying solicitation, posted February 4, 2025, with a quote due date of March 23, 2025, sought qualified contractors capable of providing comprehensive water handling support across multiple regional dispatch centers with capacity for up to 16-hour daily shift operations. Evaluated criteria emphasized vendors' ability to deliver timely emergency response services and maintain active System for Award Management (SAM) registration, valid Unique Entity Identification (UEI) numbers, and operational readiness across unpredictable wildland fire support locations requiring rapid deployment capabilities. Payment under resultant task orders is determined by agreement rates in effect at the time of order, with the government reserving the right to conduct annual reviews for potential contractor additions or resource modifications throughout the contract period.
