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 that deploys wildland firefighter crews, rents firefighting equipment including chippers and water handling units, and provides technical assistance and post-fire rehabilitation services to the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service as a prime contractor exclusively under total small business set-asides and full-and-open competitions. The company operates as a Subchapter S corporation based in Independence, Oregon, and competes entirely on its own account with no subcontract footprint across recent federal awards.

ASI Arden's federal footprint is concentrated with the Forest Service, which accounts for 92% of recent awards across eleven customer agencies. The National Interagency Fire Center (part of Forest Service Fire and Aviation Management) anchors the portfolio by potential value, with 16 awards carrying $42.1 million combined ceiling — largely driven by four Vendor Integrated Procurement indefinite-delivery contracts for water handling equipment and chippers across Regions 5 and 6, each valued at $250 thousand to $500 thousand, and a $6.8 million National Type 2IA Firefighter Crews IDIQ contract awarded in February 2022 with completion through February 2027. Forest Service Region 6 (Pacific Northwest Region) dominates by award count at 85 delivery orders with $9.5 million combined value; Region-level Forest Service awards total 52 orders for $8.1 million. Region 3 (Southwestern), Region 1 (Northern), Region 5 (Pacific Southwest), and Region 4 (Intermountain) round out the active geographic footprint. Recent representative work includes a $345.5 thousand delivery order for Type 2IA firefighter crew deployment to Region 3 in March 2026, a $340.7 thousand order to Region 5 for California fire operations in July 2024, and a $287.5 thousand delivery order to Region 6 in September 2026 for wildland fire and all-hazard incident response in Springfield, Oregon — all under total small business set-asides.

The vendor holds seats on five primary parent vehicles: Indefinite Delivery Contract 1202SC22T2301 (116 task orders, $16.7 million combined value), which appears to be a regional IDIQ or standing agreement serving the Pacific Northwest; Indefinite Delivery Contract 12569R24T7140 (11 orders, $373 thousand); Indefinite Delivery Contract 1202SB21T7457 (9 orders, $220 thousand); and two additional IDCs with lighter task order activity. Task order values range from under $2,500 to over $345 thousand. The vendor's capability portfolio is entirely within NAICS 115310 (Support Activities for Forestry), with 181 of 182 awards coded to forest-range fire suppression and presuppression work.

Award activity has grown from 25 orders in 2022 to 33 in 2024, with 30 orders in 2025 and 29 in 2026, indicating sustained demand but no steep trajectory. Combined potential value across 182 prime awards totals $64.1 million, with $32.9 million obligated (51% of ceiling). The first award in the source data dates to April 2021. No recompete cliff is apparent from the source; the National Type 2IA IDIQ runs through February 2027, and regional VIPR contracts extend through 2029–2030. All awards are designated either total small business set-aside or full-and-open (no set-aside used), reflecting the vendor's posture as a small business prime competing for Forest Service incident-response and equipment-rental work nationwide, with strong geographic concentration in the Pacific Northwest and Southwestern regions.
