A&E Wildfire Logistics LLC

A&E Wildfire Logistics LLC, a self-certified small disadvantaged business based in Monmouth, Oregon, holds three multiple-award indefinite-delivery contracts as a prime contractor for vehicle-with-driver logistics services supporting wildfire suppression and all-hazard incident response. All three awards are small-business set-asides under firm fixed-price terms issued by the National Interagency Fire Center, a division of the Department of Agriculture Forest Service. The vendor operates entirely as a prime — no subcontract activity in the source data — and concentrates exclusively on a single customer agency.

A&E Wildfire Logistics delivers trained and certified personnel, vehicles, equipment, materials, transportation, lodging, and supervision for fire suppression operations across Regions 5 and 6 in the West Zone. The three IDCs share identical scope (vehicle with driver services), geographic footprint (Regions 5 and 6), set-aside designation (total small business), and ceiling values ($250,000 each). Two contracts were awarded to the VIPR I-BPA (Vehicle, Industrial Pump, Responder) framework: one issued February 6, 2026, running through May 16, 2029, and another issued August 17, 2026, running through August 17, 2031. A third IDC issued May 16, 2025, also runs through May 16, 2029. All three carry combined potential value of $750,000. The contracts support optional use by other interagency cooperators subject to their payment and administrative terms.

Award activity has accelerated — one award in 2025, two awards in 2026 — with the most recent award issued one month ago. Customer concentration is absolute: the Department of Agriculture Forest Service Fire and Aviation Management National Interagency Fire Center represents 100% of awards and 100% of combined potential value. The vendor's footprint sits squarely in NAICS 4889 (All Other Transit and Ground Passenger Transportation) and PSC Natural Resources/Conservation—Forest-Range Fire Suppression/Presuppression, reflecting early-stage federal engagement focused on a narrow, mission-critical supply chain within the wildfire-response apparatus.
