Backcountry Resources LLC

Backcountry Resources LLC, a small business limited liability partnership based in Roberts, Idaho, provides fuel tender and fire suppression support services to the U.S. Forest Service as a total small business set-aside prime contractor, with all eight recent awards flowing through two Indefinite Delivery Contracts held with the National Interagency Fire Center running through April 25, 2028.

Backcountry Resources competes exclusively under the total small business set-aside category across its prime footprint. The vendor holds two $250,000 IDCs awarded by the National Interagency Fire Center — one on March 29, 2024, and a second on February 6, 2026 — both designated as multiple-award vehicles for fuel tender services supporting fire suppression and all-hazard incident response across U.S. Forest Service Regions 1, 2, and 4. Under these parent contracts, the vendor issues firm fixed-price delivery orders typically ranging from $2,345 to $148,192.78 per task. Representative work includes a $148,192.78 delivery order to the Forest Service Intermountain Region for backcountry and fire management resources completed in September 2024, a $139,652.74 delivery order to Region 1 (Northern Region) for fuel tender and incident response support completed in September 2025, and a $34,987.53 delivery order placed in June 2026 under the most recent IDC for backcountry resources and fire management support at Craigmont, Idaho.

Customer concentration is entirely within the Department of Agriculture's Forest Service and its National Interagency Fire Center component. The Fire and Aviation Management National Interagency Fire Center anchors the largest dollar share ($500 thousand across two IDC awards), while the Intermountain Region (Region 4) generates the highest award count (four delivery orders totaling $241 thousand), with Region 1 (Northern Region) and the general Forest Service service rounding out the active customer set. Activity has remained modest — four awards in 2024, two in 2025, and two in 2026 to date — with a combined potential value of $915 thousand across all awards and $415 thousand obligated to date. The vendor operates exclusively as a prime contractor with no subcontract footprint; all work is performed in-house across Idaho locations. Backcountry Resources is categorized under NAICS Petroleum Refineries and PSC Natural Resources/Conservation — Forest-Range Fire Suppression/Presuppression, reflecting its specialized focus on wildfire logistics and emergency response infrastructure for federal land management operations in the western United States.
