Alpine Transport Inc.

Alpine Transport Inc., a woman-owned small business headquartered in Meridian, Idaho, provides specialized transportation services and water handling equipment for wildland fire suppression, all-hazard incident response, and land stewardship operations as a prime contractor exclusively under total small business set-asides and full-and-open delivery orders issued by the Forest Service and National Interagency Fire Center. The vendor operates 100% as a prime contractor with no subcontract exposure across its federal portfolio.

Alpine Transport's capability footprint centers on incident-driven transportation and equipment logistics. The company delivers water tenders, potable and gray water trucks, weed washing units, heavy equipment (feller bunchers, mulchers, road graders, skidders), and vehicles with driver services to support fire suppression and emergency response across Forest Service East Zone Regions 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, and 9 in the Western United States. Representative work includes a $176,000 delivery order for water tenders and transportation support to Region 4 (August 2024), a $86,445 order for water handling services in Boise, Idaho (August 2025), and a $75,900 order for specialized vehicles in Venice, Utah (July 2025). The vendor also operates through purchase-order procurement channels; five orders from May 2026 with the Idaho Region totaling $181,100 procured potable water trucks, tender water services, and water support equipment across firm fixed-price terms.

Customer concentration sits entirely within the Department of Agriculture Forest Service. The top five funding sub-agencies account for 92% of combined potential value, led by the National Interagency Fire Center (51 awards, $7.1 million) and Forest Service Region 4 Intermountain Region (151 awards, $6.7 million), followed by the Rocky Mountain Research Station (52 awards, $1.5 million), Region 2 Rocky Mountain Region (14 awards, $225 thousand), and Washington Office Acquisitions (11 awards, $549 thousand). The two customer rankings show different concentration patterns — Intermountain Region dominates award volume but the National Interagency Fire Center anchors the largest dollar value, reflecting the difference between frequent task orders under standing IDIQs and the higher ceiling values on certain national-level vehicles.

Alpine Transport holds thirteen active indefinite delivery contracts with the Forest Service and National Interagency Fire Center, each valued at $250,000 ceiling and set aside for total small business participation. The top five parent vehicles carry 57, 35, 34, 33, and 20 task orders respectively, totaling $6.7 million in combined potential value. These vehicles span water handling services (Indefinite Delivery Contract 1202SB24T7491, 57 task orders, $2.8 million), water handling for East Zone Regions 1, 2, 4, and 9 (Indefinite Delivery Contract 1202SB21T7311, 35 task orders, $1 million), and miscellaneous heavy equipment for East Zone Regions 1, 2, and 4 (Indefinite Delivery Contract 1284M818T7010, 34 task orders, $797 thousand). All contracts operate under the Virtual Incident Procurement system, enabling rapid task-order issuance during fire season and emergency response cycles. Six additional IDIQs awarded between February and July 2026 carry ceilings of $250,000 to $1,000,000 and performance periods extending through 2028–2031, covering vehicles with drivers, potable and gray water trucks, weed washing units, and heavy equipment.

Activity patterns reflect the cyclical, incident-driven nature of wildland fire contracting. Awards peaked at 57 in 2024, declined to 21 in 2025, and averaged 9 year-to-date through June 2026. Over the past five years, Alpine Transport has received 328 total awards worth $17.9 million in combined potential value, with $11.4 million obligated (64% execution rate). Work is concentrated in NAICS 238910 (Support Activities for Forestry; 286 awards) and 482411 (All Other Transit and Ground Passenger Transportation; 37 awards), classified under PSC code reflecting forest-range fire suppression and presuppression (302 awards). The company operates exclusively as a prime contractor on total small business set-asides and full-and-open delivery orders; no subcontract exposure appears in the source data.
