Agate Ridge, LLC

Agate Ridge, LLC, doing business as Agate Ridge Fire, supplies water handling equipment and firefighting resources for wildland fire suppression and all-hazard incident response to the U.S. Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management as a small disadvantaged business prime contractor operating exclusively under small business set-asides. Based in Glide, Oregon, Agate Ridge is a limited liability partnership self-certified as a small disadvantaged business; its federal work centers on NAICS 333613 (Support Activities for Forestry) and PSC Natural Resources/Conservation—Forest-Range Fire Suppression/Presuppression.

Agate Ridge's customer base is concentrated within the Department of Agriculture's Forest Service, which accounts for 100% of recent awards across two regional lines: the Pacific Northwest Region (Region 6) and the National Interagency Fire Center. The Department of Interior's Bureau of Land Management Idaho Region represents a single purchase-order award of $7,870. Within USDA, the National Interagency Fire Center's Fire and Aviation Management program dominates potential value at $750 thousand across two IDCs, while Region 6 contributes $578 thousand across four delivery orders. The vendor holds two multiple-award indefinite delivery contracts issued through the National Interagency Fire Center: one with a $500 thousand ceiling and another with a $250 thousand ceiling, both running through May 29, 2030 and reserved for small businesses. Four delivery orders totaling $578 thousand have been placed against the $250 thousand IDC, drawing from a Virtual Incident Procurement system that manages water handling resources across the Pacific Northwest region.

Representative work includes a $357 thousand delivery order placed July 28, 2025, under the Region 6 IDC for firefighting equipment and personnel mobilization scheduled through September 27, 2025; an $84 thousand delivery order from the same IDC awarded July 30, 2026, for water handling equipment with completion in September 2026; and a $78 thousand delivery order from Region 6 awarded July 28, 2026, also supporting wildland fire suppression. Agate Ridge's equipment portfolio comprises Engines Type 3–6, Support Water Tenders Type 1–3, and Tactical Water Tenders Type 1–2, with rates structured for up to 16-hour daily shifts and administered through the Virtual Incident Procurement system.

Activity is nascent but growing—three awards in 2025 to four in 2026—with $586 thousand in combined obligations against $1.3 million in combined potential value across seven prime awards. Agate Ridge has not held or sought parent GWACs, GSA Schedules, or broader government-wide vehicles beyond the Forest Service regional IDCs; its footprint remains regionally concentrated in the Pacific Northwest and Idaho fire management space.
