Axcess Fire, LLC

Axcess Fire, LLC, a small disadvantaged business based in Caldwell, Idaho, supplies wildland firefighting equipment and emergency response services to the U.S. Forest Service and interagency fire management programs as a prime contractor across a portfolio of 49 awards with no subcontract footprint. The vendor operates exclusively on full-and-open, non-set-aside delivery orders and indefinite-delivery contracts, competing under total small business set-aside vehicles with the National Interagency Fire Center and Forest Service regional offices.

Axcess Fire's capability portfolio centers on water handling equipment, materials, supplies, trained personnel, and specialized firefighting vehicles—chiefly Type 6 fire engines and transport—to support wildland fire suppression, all-hazard incident response, and prescribed burn operations across the Forest Service East Zone and Pacific Southwest regions. Recent representative prime work includes a $68,800 firm fixed-price delivery order from the Forest Service Intermountain Region (Region 4) awarded August 6, 2024, for water handling and emergency response personnel; a $47,300 delivery order from Region 1 (Northern Region) placed July 22, 2024, for wildland firefighting services; and a $59,400 purchase order from the Department of Agriculture Idaho Region awarded May 1, 2026, for delivery of a Type 6 fire engine to Boise, Idaho, with completion by August 15, 2026.

Customer concentration is extreme: the top five Forest Service sub-offices and regional commands account for 88% of awards by count and 93% of combined potential value. The National Interagency Fire Center's Fire and Aviation Management function anchors the portfolio with 11 awards valued at $1.4 million combined potential value, followed by the Forest Service Research Service Rocky Mountain Research Station (15 awards, $756 thousand). Axcess Fire places most task orders against five parent vehicles: Blanket Purchase Agreement AG84M8B167018 (13 task orders, $379 thousand combined potential value), Indefinite Delivery Contract 1284M819T7046 (12 task orders, $269 thousand), and Indefinite Delivery Contract 1202SB22T7186 (6 task orders, $273 thousand). The vendor also holds two active indefinite-delivery contracts awarded by the National Interagency Fire Center—a $500,000 multiple-award contract for water handling in East Zone Regions 1, 2, 4, and 9 through May 30, 2030 (awarded February 6, 2026), and a predecessor $250,000 contract through May 31, 2025 (awarded May 30, 2025).

Activity has remained modest and flat across the past five years—four awards in 2021, three in 2022, four in 2024, one in 2025, and two in 2026 year-to-date—with combined potential value of $3 million and obligated dollars of $1.2 million (39% of potential). The vendor's award footprint spans 48 of 49 awards under NAICS 541712 (Support Activities for Forestry) and PSC code for forest-range fire suppression, reflecting specialized vertical concentration in interagency emergency-response logistics rather than horizontal diversification across civilian IT or professional-services markets. All 49 awards are prime positions with no subcontract engagement.
