American Wildfire Suppression Services, Inc.

American Wildfire Suppression Services, Inc., a woman-owned small disadvantaged business headquartered in Capitan, New Mexico, provides wildfire suppression services including water handling, fire engines, personnel management, and emergency logistics to the U.S. Forest Service as a prime contractor exclusively under total small business set-asides. The company operates solely as a prime (100% of recent awards), with no subcontract footprint.

American Wildfire Suppression Services' customer base is highly concentrated with the Department of Agriculture Forest Service. The top five organizational units account for 92% of awards by count and 93% by combined potential value, with the Forest Service's Region 3 (Southwestern Region) dominating the portfolio at 68 awards worth $2.8 million combined potential value, followed by the National Interagency Fire Center at 11 awards worth $1.3 million. Additional work flows through Forest Service Regions 5 and 6, the Washington Office Acquisitions, and the agency's central organization. Across 102 prime awards dating to 2007, the vendor serves eight distinct federal agencies but concentrates overwhelmingly on Forest Service wildland fire response.

American Wildfire Suppression Services holds three principal parent vehicles through the National Interagency Fire Center. The largest is Blanket Purchase Agreement AG8371B167003, supporting 33 task orders worth $987 thousand in combined potential value for water handling across Regions 3 and 8 through May 6, 2030; the vendor also operates under BPA AG8371B107002 (21 task orders, $521 thousand) and Indefinite Delivery Contract 12837119T7006 (19 task orders, $710 thousand), all structured as Virtual Incident Procurement (VIPR) Incident Blanket Purchase Agreements for rapid on-call deployment. Two additional IDCs with $500 thousand and $250 thousand ceilings awarded in early 2026 provide water handling capacity through May 2030. Recent delivery orders include $100.8 thousand from Region 6 (Pacific Northwest) for suppression services in Sandy, Oregon (July 2026), $76.8 thousand from Region 2 (Rocky Mountain) for Pueblo, Colorado operations (July 2026), and $62.3 thousand from Region 3 for Alamogordo, New Mexico firefighting support (May 2026).

Activity remains episodic — five awards in 2021, then one each in 2022 and 2023, two in 2025, and four in 2026 — reflecting the on-call, incident-driven nature of wildfire suppression contracting. Combined potential value across all 102 awards is $5.1 million, with $3.1 million obligated to date. The vendor's portfolio concentrates in NAICS 541711 (Support Activities for Forestry), with 101 of 102 awards classified under PSC Natural Resources/Conservation–Forest-Range Fire Suppression/Presuppression services.
