A.s.i. Arden Solutions Inc.

A.S.I. Arden Solutions Inc., doing business as ASI Arden Solutions Inc., is a minority-owned, woman-owned small business based in Independence, Oregon, that provides wildland firefighter crew deployments, firefighting equipment rental (chippers, water handling units, engines), technical assistance, and post-fire rehabilitation work to the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service as a prime contractor across multiple indefinite delivery vehicles and delivery orders. The vendor operates as a Subchapter S corporation and competes exclusively in the full-and-open federal marketplace, holding positions on total small business set-aside IDIQs that constitute the foundation of its federal footprint.

ASI Arden Solutions' customer base is heavily concentrated with the Forest Service across all tiers. The top five funding entities account for 93% of recent awards and are all Forest Service offices: Region 6 (Pacific Northwest Region) leads by award count with 76 delivery orders totaling $8.1 million combined potential value; the National Interagency Fire Center (Fire and Aviation Management) leads by dollar value with 16 awards totaling $41.6 million, anchored by two $6.8 million and $1.75 million National Type 2IA and Type 2 Firefighter Crews IDIQs; the broader Forest Service organization accounts for 49 awards at $7.5 million; Region 3 (Southwestern Region) holds 12 awards at $2.1 million; and Region 5 (Pacific Southwest Region) accounts for 3 awards at $591 thousand. The combined portfolio spans $60.9 million in potential value across 167 prime awards, with 50% of that value obligated to date.

ASI Arden Solutions holds primary positions on a $6.8 million National Type 2IA Firefighter Crews multiple-award IDIQ (award date February 8, 2022, ultimate completion February 7, 2027) and a $1.75 million National Type 2 Firefighter Crews IDIQ under the same vehicle class and timeline. These two contracts serve as the spine of the vendor's footprint — recent delivery orders placed against them range from $30 thousand to $345 thousand, with performance spanning Forest Service regions nationwide including the Pacific Northwest, Southwestern, Intermountain, and Northern Regions. The vendor also holds four regional Vendor Integrated Procurement (VIPR) Indefinite Delivery Contracts totaling $250 thousand each for water handling equipment and chippers across Regions 5 and 6, awarded May 28, 2024 through February 6, 2026, with completion dates through May 2030. The largest parent vehicle by task-order volume is Indefinite Delivery Contract 1202SC22T2301, which carries 103 delivery orders totaling $14 million combined potential value. Recent representative work includes a $345.5 thousand delivery order to Region 3 for Type 2IA firefighter crew support in Albuquerque, New Mexico (March 28, 2026, Total Small Business set-aside); a $341 thousand delivery order for wildfire suppression in Springfield, Oregon (September 1, 2025, no set-aside); and a $293.9 thousand award to Region 1 (Northern Region) for firefighter crew deployment in Bozeman, Montana (April 20, 2026, Total Small Business set-aside).

Activity volume has grown consistently over the past four years, from 25 awards in 2022 to a peak of 33 awards in 2024; 2025 recorded 30 awards and 2026 shows 14 awards year-to-date as of mid-June. The vendor's award portfolio spans 166 awards under NAICS 115310 (Support Activities for Forestry) and 1 award under miscellaneous equipment rental, with 165 classified under PSC Natural Resources/Conservation—Forest-Range Fire Suppression/Presuppression. All work is performed nationwide across multiple Forest Service regions and the National Interagency Fire Center, with service locations including Santa Fe, New Mexico; Wenatchee, Washington; Springfield, Oregon; Medford, Oregon; Denver and Lakewood, Colorado; and numerous other incident-response locations. The vendor operates exclusively as a prime contractor with no subcontract footprint in the source record and competes on full-and-open delivery orders against its held IDIQs rather than pursuing incremental new contract vehicles.
