ACE Emergency Response Inc.

ACE Emergency Response Inc., a self-certified small disadvantaged business based in Auburn, California, supplies off-highway vehicle equipment and services to the Department of Agriculture Forest Service as a prime contractor under Total Small Business set-asides. The company operates exclusively in the wildfire suppression and presuppression space, competing across the primary NAICS category 423120 (Truck, Utility Trailer, and RV Rental and Leasing) and PSC code for natural resources and conservation forest-range fire suppression activities.

ACE's federal footprint is concentrated in a single customer and parent vehicle. The National Interagency Fire Center (NIFC), under the Department of Agriculture Forest Service Fire and Aviation Management directorate, holds all of ACE's current work through an Indefinite Delivery Contract (1202RZ26T7033) that carries a $250 thousand ceiling and runs through August 14, 2031. ACE placed two delivery orders against this IDC totaling $27 thousand in combined potential value — a $12,056 order issued September 12, 2026, and a $14,752 order issued September 4, 2026 — both with place of performance at Solvang, California. The NIFC award itself, announced August 14, 2026, is a multiple-award IDIQ structured as a blanket purchase agreement for off-highway vehicle equipment and services across the National Interagency Fire Center's wildfire operations.

ACE is a nascent federal contractor with three awards spanning a single month in 2026 (August through September) and a combined potential value of $277 thousand. The company holds no subcontract work and does not sit on any other named parent vehicles. Only $27 thousand of the combined potential value has been obligated to date, reflecting the early-stage character of the relationship and the BPA structure's role as a vehicle for future task orders rather than committed spend. With the IDC ceiling at $250 thousand and the five-year term extending to 2031, the contract represents positioning for incremental work orders within a narrow wildfire-operations supply and services niche rather than a broad federal footprint.
