Apex Fire Suppression LLC

Apex Fire Suppression LLC, a self-certified small disadvantaged business based in Sheridan, Oregon, provides wildland fire suppression and all-hazard incident response services — including firefighter crews, water-handling equipment (Engines Types 3–6, Support Water Tenders Types 1–3, Tactical Water Tenders Types 1–2), personnel, materials, and transportation — exclusively as a prime contractor under Total Small Business set-asides to the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service and National Interagency Fire Center.

Apex operates entirely within the Forest Service ecosystem. All six prime awards in the source target the Department of Agriculture, split across three funding paths: the National Interagency Fire Center (three awards, $8.3 million combined potential value), the Forest Service Region 6 Pacific Northwest Region (two awards, $356 thousand), and the Forest Service broadly (one award, $175 thousand). The concentration is absolute — 100% of awards and 100% of potential value flow to USDA Forest Service components. Work is geographically concentrated in the Pacific Northwest region, with place of performance in Vale, Baker City, and Pendleton, Oregon, though the indefinite-delivery contracts contemplate national interagency incident response deployment.

Apex holds three indefinite-delivery contracts anchoring its vehicle position. A $7.5 million National Type 2 BPA for firefighter crews awarded June 23, 2026 (period through July 1, 2027) carries no task orders in the source snapshot. A $500,000 water-handling equipment IDIQ awarded February 6, 2026 (performance through May 29, 2030) and a $250,000 VIPR I-BPA for water handling awarded May 29, 2025 (also through May 29, 2030) support task-order activity under parent vehicle 1202SC26T2400, which has generated three task orders carrying $531 thousand in combined potential value. Recent delivery orders include a $308.5 thousand firm fixed price order dated July 15, 2026 (completion July 1, 2027) for water-handling equipment and firefighter crews supporting wildland fire suppression and prescribed project work under Region 6; a $175.2 thousand order dated August 10, 2026 for wildland fire and all-hazard incident response; and a $47 thousand order dated July 16, 2026 for incident response work in Baker City.

Activity is nascent and recently accelerated. Apex entered the federal footprint with a single award in 2025 and has captured five awards year to date in 2026, with an average award value of approximately $1.5 million. Three awards representing $531 thousand in combined potential value reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, exposing that portion to recompete. The combined potential value across all six awards stands at $8.8 million, with only $531 thousand obligated as of the snapshot date (6% utilization), indicating significant optionality headroom across the IDIQ ceilings. Apex holds no subcontracting relationships in the source and does not appear as a subcontractor to larger federal primes.
