Able Services LLC

Able Services LLC, a self-certified small disadvantaged business based in Trail, Oregon, provides wildland fire suppression equipment, water handling resources, heavy machinery, and trained personnel to the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service as a prime contractor (100% of awards) across multiple indefinite delivery contracts and task orders. Able operates exclusively under total small business set-aside designations on its parent IDIQs and competes in full-and-open delivery orders issued against those vehicles, with no subcontracting footprint.

Able's customer concentration is extreme and regional. The Forest Service accounts for 98% of recent awards across six distinct sub-offices: the Pacific Northwest Region (Region 6) leads with 80 awards and $3 million combined potential value; the National Interagency Fire Center anchors 29 awards worth $2.9 million; Region 5 (Pacific Southwest) carries 10 awards valued at $600 thousand; and three smaller Forest Service segments account for the remainder. The top two customers represent $5.9 million of Able's $7 million combined potential value across all awards. Dollar rankings and volume rankings align — Region 6 dominates both dimensions.

Able's capability footprint is narrow and specialized. Representative work includes a $128,390 delivery order from Forest Service Region 6 for heavy equipment, water tenders, and support personnel for wildland fire suppression in Springfield, Oregon (July 2024); a $152,248 order from Region 5 delivering dozers, excavators, water tenders, and personnel for fire suppression and hazard mitigation in California and Oregon (July 2024); and a $91,977 order from Region 5 for pre-positioned water handling equipment and trained incident response teams (August 2025). Orders typically range from under $2,000 to over $150,000, firm fixed-price, with performance locations concentrated in Oregon and California.

Able holds five active parent vehicles issued by the National Interagency Fire Center, all total small business set-asides. The largest by task-order volume is Blanket Purchase Agreement AG04H1B167160 (27 task orders, $550 thousand combined potential value), for water handling equipment and services in Region 6 through May 2030. Indefinite Delivery Contract 12569R23T7450 carries 13 task orders valued at $847 thousand for heavy equipment in the West Zone (Regions 5 and 6) through June 2028. Two additional IDCs—1202SB22T7332 and 1204H119T7109—account for 17 and 16 task orders respectively ($287 thousand and $385 thousand), also covering water handling and heavy equipment provisioning. A fifth vehicle, BPA AG04H1B177014, holds 9 task orders worth $287 thousand. All vehicles are multiple-award set-asides; task orders are issued through the Virtual Incident Procurement (VIPR) system for emergency and prescribed incident response.

Activity has contracted sharply in the past two years. Able received fourteen awards in 2023, eleven in 2024, five in 2025, and three in 2026 year-to-date. Combined obligated dollars ($3.3 million) represent 48% of combined potential value ($7 million), indicating that most task orders have been called but not fully invoked. All 126 awards are classified under NAICS 561730 (Support Activities for Forestry) and PSC Natural Resources/Conservation—Forest-Range Fire Suppression/Presuppression. No subcontractors appear in Able's portfolio; the vendor operates as a single-award prime across all Forest Service regional vehicles.
