B & B Fire Suppression LLC

B & B Fire Suppression LLC, doing business as B & B Fire Suppression LIMITED Partnership, is a veteran-owned small business based in Central Point, Oregon, that provides wildland fire suppression services, Type 6 fire engines, water tenders, trained firefighting personnel, and emergency response equipment to federal land-management agencies exclusively as a prime contractor on delivery orders and indefinite delivery contracts. The vendor competes entirely under total small business set-asides and holds three active IDIQs with the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service and the National Interagency Fire Center.

B & B Fire Suppression operates as a sole proprietorship LLC and concentrates its federal footprint on Forest Service fire suppression operations across western regions. The vendor's capability portfolio is narrowly focused: deployment of Type 3, 4, 5, and 6 fire engines; Support and Tactical Water Tenders Types 1, 2, and 3; trained wildland firefighting crews; and logistics support for initial attack and ongoing suppression efforts during peak fire seasons and all-hazard incident response. Representative work includes a $48,000 firm fixed-price delivery order from the General Services Administration on behalf of USDA Forest Service Region 6 (Pacific Northwest Region) awarded August 6, 2026, for water handling equipment in Lakeview, Oregon; a $105,600 delivery order from Region 6 in July 2024 for Type 6 engines and water tenders supporting wildfire suppression in Medford, Oregon; and a $61,600 delivery order from Region 6 in September 2024 for fire engine deployment and crew services.

Customer concentration is extreme. The Department of Agriculture Forest Service R6-Pacific Northwest Region accounts for 52 of 72 total awards (72% of volume) and $2 million of $3.5 million combined potential value (57% of dollars). The Fire and Aviation Management National Interagency Fire Center anchors 12 awards worth $1.2 million (34% of dollars), with Region 5 (Pacific Southwest Region), the Forest Service national office, and the Department of the Interior Bureau of Land Management Idaho Region making up the remainder. The two rankings align; both slot USDA Forest Service R6 as the dominant customer by wide margin.

B & B Fire Suppression holds three active indefinite delivery contracts. The largest is a $500,000 multiple-award IDC covering water handling equipment and services in Region 6, awarded February 6, 2026, with a completion date of May 29, 2030, under total small business set-aside; 23 task orders have been placed against this vehicle, generating $815 thousand in combined potential value. A $250,000 VIPR I-BPA for Water Handling dedicated to Region 6, awarded May 29, 2025, with an ultimate completion date of May 29, 2030, carries 15 task orders worth $451 thousand. An earlier $250,000 VIPR I-BPA covering Regions 3, 5, 6, and 10 (West Zone), awarded June 1, 2022, with an ultimate completion date of June 6, 2025, generated 15 delivery orders before expiration, totaling $405 thousand. All three IDVs are firm fixed-price vehicles under total small business set-aside.

Activity peaked in 2023 with 12 awards; volume has declined to 6 awards in 2024, 4 in 2025, and 6 in 2026 year-to-date, suggesting softening seasonal demand or increased consolidation of orders. Combined obligated dollars amount to $2.1 million against $3.5 million combined potential value, indicating 60% of potential has been drawn down across the award portfolio. The vendor faces no visible recompete cliff — the two largest IDIQs run through 2030 — but the June 2025 expiration of the West Zone VIPR I-BPA represents a near-term risk if not successfully recompeted.

B & B Fire Suppression operates entirely as a prime contractor; no subcontract footprint is present in the award record. The vendor's competitive posture is fixed to total small business set-asides; all 72 awards either carry the total small business designation or were competitively awarded without set-aside restriction. Across both rankings, forest fire suppression (PSC code Natural Resources/Conservation—Forest-Range Fire Suppression/Presuppression) accounts for 71 awards, with one fire equipment award rounding out the portfolio. NAICS coverage is monolithic: all 72 awards fall under Support Activities for Forestry (541730).
