Attack-One Fire Management Services, Inc.

Attack-One Fire Management Services, Inc., doing business as Kevin Carter, operates as a veteran-owned small disadvantaged business (SDVOSB) providing wildland fire suppression, prevention, and emergency response services to the U.S. Forest Service as a prime contractor exclusively — all 116 awards in the portfolio are prime awards with no subcontract activity. The company is based in Crawfordville, Florida, holds SBA Certified Veteran-Owned Small Business status (expires February 18, 2028), and self-certifies as a small disadvantaged business and for-profit Subchapter S corporation. Work is performed across multiple Forest Service regions nationwide, with primary administrative operations and performance locations in Tallahassee, Florida and subordinate performance sites across Forest Service Regions 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, and 9.

Attack-One's service portfolio centers on specialized wildland fire management capabilities: operating Type 6 fire engines, deploying water handling equipment, providing qualified personnel for fire suppression and prescribed burning, and supplying heavy equipment including dozers, excavators, feller bunchers, mulchers, road graders, and skidders. The company holds multiple Indefinite Delivery Contracts (IDCs) valued at $250,000 each under the Forest Service's Virtual Incident Procurement (VIPR) system, enabling rapid procurement of fire management resources during peak fire season and emergency incidents. Representative work includes delivery orders valued from $1,897.50 to $244,813.26 across regions; concrete examples include an $82,000 delivery order from Forest Service Region 8 (Southern Region) issued March 27, 2026 for wildland fire suppression equipment and personnel, a $244,813.26 delivery order from Region 5 (Pacific Southwest Region) awarded August 2, 2024 for fire suppression services supporting 30 states, and a $63,398.11 delivery order from Region 8 awarded May 19, 2025 for wildland fire management services.

Customer concentration is extreme and set-aside–driven. The Forest Service R8–Southern Region accounts for 62 of 93 awards counted in the top-customer block (53% of awards) and $2.8 million of combined potential value (41% of portfolio). The National Interagency Fire Center (NIFC) contributes 14 awards and $2.1 million in combined potential value. Together, R8 and NIFC represent 80% of recent awards. This concentration reflects Attack-One's position as a regional specialized contractor with established IDCs that roll delivery orders across fire seasons. Most delivery orders carry total small business set-aside designations, though recent 2025–2026 orders from R8 show mixed set-aside and open (no-set-aside) competition, indicating the vendor can compete outside protected vehicles when called upon.

Attack-One holds six active IDCs as parent vehicles under the VIPR system, all with $250,000 ceilings, awarded by NIFC or the Forest Service. The five highest-volume IDCs are: Indefinite Delivery Contract 1202SB22T7185 (31 task orders, $1.1 million combined potential value), 1202SB25T7310 (11 task orders, $539 thousand), 1243N920T7028 (11 task orders, $271 thousand), AG43N9B177008 BPA (9 task orders, $107 thousand), and AG4283C070014 (6 task orders, $560 thousand). These vehicles span equipment categories — water handling, heavy equipment, miscellaneous equipment — and are structured as multiple-award IDCs covering Regions 3 and 8 or broader multi-region footprints through VIPR, with annual review cycles to add contractors and resources.

Award activity has cycled between 7 and 13 awards per year over the past five years (2022–2026) without trending upward or downward; 2026 shows 13 awards, matching 2022. The combined potential value across all 116 awards is $6.8 million, with $3.2 million obligated (48% drawn). Recent awards show execution velocity consistent with seasonal fire demand — multiple delivery orders concentrated in March–April 2026 from R8 and in summer 2023–2024 across regions — rather than sustained growth. Eleven awards reach ultimate completion dates within the next twelve months, representing roughly $539 thousand in potential recompete exposure within the immediate window, though the portfolio's rolling VIPR structure makes annual recompete typical for this vendor class.

NAICS and PSC concentration reinforce the specialized nature: 103 of 116 awards (89%) fall under NAICS 115310 (Support Activities for Forestry), with the remainder scattered across timber, logging, and fire protection categories. PSC coding shows 98 awards under Natural Resources/Conservation–Forest-Range Fire Suppression/Presuppression, confirming Attack-One's deep specialization in wildland fire management services to a single customer agency across multiple regional contracts.
