Allen Fire LLC

Allen Fire LLC, a small disadvantaged business based in Edgewood, New Mexico, delivers wildland fire suppression equipment, water handling services, and trained firefighting personnel exclusively as a prime contractor to the Department of Agriculture Forest Service across western regions under total small business set-asides. The company operates 100 percent in-house with no subcontract work, directly deploying Type 6 fire engines, water tenders, chippers, and firefighting crews to support federal wildfire response through the Forest Service's Virtual Incident Procurement (VIPR) program, which structures emergency firefighting procurement as Incident Blanket Purchase Agreements.

Allen Fire competes under NAICS 541700 (Support Activities for Forestry) and PSC code Natural Resources/Conservation–Forest-Range Fire Suppression/Presuppression. All 77 recent awards are prime contracts; the vendor holds no sub-awards. Customer concentration sits entirely within the Forest Service ecosystem. The Department of Agriculture Forest Service R3–Southwestern Region dominates both volume and dollars, accounting for 30 awards valued at $1.5 million combined potential value, followed by the National Interagency Fire Center (12 awards, $1.6 million combined potential value), the Pacific Southwest Region (11 awards, $570 thousand), and the Forest Service general line (14 awards, $388 thousand). Together these four customer entities account for 95% of awards and 97% of combined potential value, leaving minimal geographic or mission diversification. Representative delivery-order work includes a $127,062 order from Region 3 in June 2026 for fire suppression services in Albuquerque, a $171,157 order from the Pacific Southwest Region in August 2024 for Type 6 fire engines and crews, a $100,326 order from Region 3 in June 2025 for wildland fire management, and smaller rapid-response orders ($8,742 to $79,402) issued across regions throughout 2025 and 2026.

Allen Fire holds three primary IDIQ vehicles, each valued at $250,000 and designated as total small business set-asides, covering water handling and chipper services across Regions 3, 5, 6, 8, and 10 through the National Interagency Fire Center. The largest parent vehicle, Indefinite Delivery Contract 1202SB22T7356, carries 30 task orders valued at $1.2 million combined potential value. Two additional IDCs issued in 2025 and 2026 (1202SB25T7258 and related vehicles) support similar rapid-response procurement with 22 and 13 task orders respectively. Award activity accelerated from 6 orders in 2025 to 20 in 2026 (through August 30), reflecting seasonal fire-response demand concentration. The company competes exclusively under total small business set-asides, with no full-and-open competition in its recent footprint. Performance spans western CONUS locations including New Mexico, Colorado, Arizona, California, Utah, and Tennessee, with completion cycles typically measured in days to weeks reflecting the time-sensitive nature of incident response procurement.
