406 Fire Suppression LLC

406 Fire Suppression LLC, a Montana-based woman-owned, minority-owned, and Native American-owned small business operating as a limited liability company, delivers fire suppression equipment, materials, supplies, transportation, and trained personnel to the U.S. Forest Service and Department of Interior as a prime contractor exclusively under total small business set-aside vehicles. The company operates entirely as a prime on federal awards, with no subcontract or sub-grant work in the source record. All nine recent awards and both parent indefinite-delivery contracts are designated for total small business set-asides, with the vendor competing in open competition under those vehicles rather than pursuing full-and-open awards.

406 Fire Suppression LLC concentrates exclusively in one customer: the Department of Agriculture Forest Service, which accounts for 100% of recent awards across three subcomponents. The National Interagency Fire Center anchors the dollar value (two awards, $750 thousand combined potential value), while Forest Service Region 1–Northern Region generates the highest award count (five awards, $309 thousand). Across all nine awards, combined potential value totals $1.3 million, with $508 thousand obligated to date.

The vendor holds two parent indefinite-delivery contracts, both issued under the Virtual Incident Procurement (VIPR) system for water handling resources and fire suppression across Forest Service East Zone Regions 1, 2, 4, and 9. The larger contract (1202SB26T7724, $500 thousand ceiling, May 30, 2030) was awarded by the National Interagency Fire Center on February 6, 2026, as a multiple-award firm-fixed-price IDC set aside for total small business. The second contract (1202SB25T7590, $250 thousand ceiling, May 30, 2030) was awarded by the Forest Service on May 30, 2025, also as a multiple-award firm-fixed-price VIPR I-BPA. Five task orders flow under the Forest Service vehicle totaling $331 thousand, and two task orders flow under the National Interagency Fire Center vehicle totaling $177 thousand. Recent delivery orders exemplify the work scope: an $88 thousand order issued August 16, 2026, for fire suppression services in Dillon, Montana, and an $99.9 thousand order issued July 27, 2026, for fire suppression services in Fossil, Oregon. All work is performed under firm fixed price with placement through regional dispatch centers to support localized emergency response and prescribed project work.

Activity is nascent and recent, with four awards in 2025 and five awards in 2026 to date. The vendor's first federal award in the source record is dated May 30, 2025. All nine awards carry ultimate completion dates in August 2025 or August 2026, and both parent IDCs run through May 30, 2030, positioning the vendor for recompete activity as near-term orders complete.
