Adams Forestry & Fire Management, LLC

Adams Forestry & Fire Management, LLC, a small business limited liability company based in Loon Lake, Washington, provides wildland fire suppression equipment, trained personnel, and incident response services to the Department of Agriculture Forest Service as a prime contractor exclusively under total small business set-asides through the Virtual Incident Procurement (VIPR) system. The vendor operates solely in NAICS 332311 (Support Activities for Forestry) and PSC Natural Resources/Conservation–Forest-Range Fire Suppression/Presuppression, competing entirely within set-aside vehicles rather than full-and-open competition, though task orders drawn from parent IDIQs may carry no set-aside designation at the call level.

Adams Forestry holds eight Indefinite Delivery Contracts through VIPR, all awarded February through May 2026 by the National Interagency Fire Center under total small business set-asides, with ceilings ranging from $250,000 to $500,000 and performance periods extending through 2028–2030. The portfolio spans four capability categories: heavy equipment with water for West Zone Regions 3, 5, and 6 ($500,000 ceiling); water-handling equipment (Engines Type 3–6, Support Water Tenders Type 1–3, Tactical Water Tenders Type 1–2) for Region 6 Pacific Northwest ($500,000 ceiling); faller services for East Zone Regions 1, 2, and 4 ($500,000 ceiling); and heavy equipment for West Zone Regions 5 and 6 ($250,000 ceiling). Representative delivery orders include a $64.8 thousand task order from Region 6 (September 2025), a $46.5 thousand order from Region 6 (September 2024), and a $27.5 thousand task order from Region 1 (December 2025). All 18 awards in the source represent prime work; the vendor has no sub-award footprint.

Customer concentration is extreme: 100 percent of awards fund Department of Agriculture Forest Service programs, with the National Interagency Fire Center anchoring nine awards ($3.3 million combined potential value), Region 6 Pacific Northwest holding four awards ($124 thousand), and Region 1 Northern holding five awards ($92 thousand). Activity shows measured growth—four awards in 2024 escalating to seven awards each in 2025 and 2026. Combined potential value across all 18 awards stands at $3.5 million, though only $216 thousand has been obligated (6 percent), reflecting the VIPR structure's design as preseason Incident Blanket Purchase Agreements that remain unused until emergency dispatch occurs. The vendor's capability roster includes heavy dozers and excavators with water-handling capability, certified faller crews, and personnel capable of supporting up to 16-hour daily shift deployments during fire season across western Forest Service regions.
