About the company
Backcountry Response, LLC, a Boise, Idaho–based veteran-owned small business, delivers emergency response vehicles, medical support units, rapid extraction modules, and on-scene paramedic and EMT personnel to the U.S. Forest Service and related federal wildland-firefighting and disaster-response missions as a 100% prime contractor operating predominantly under small-business set-asides. The company holds SBA certifications as a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business and a Veteran-Owned Small Business (both expiring October 3, 2028), and is self-certified as a Small Disadvantaged Business.
Backcountry Response competes primarily under Total Small Business set-asides on delivery orders and purchase orders, with recent activity trending sharply upward: 13 awards in 2024, 18 in 2025, and 28 through mid-September 2026. Recent representative work includes a $387,000 purchase order from Forest Service Region 4 (Intermountain) in June 2026 for rapid extraction support modules; a $316,200 purchase order from Region 5 (Pacific Southwest) in September 2025 for rapid extraction modules; a $273,000 purchase order from Region 4 in August 2024 for utility terrain vehicles; a $163,577 purchase order from Region 2 (Rocky Mountain) in August 2025 for satellite service support; and a $246,000 purchase order from Region 6 (Pacific Northwest) in July 2025 for a rapid extraction support module. The company also holds three Indefinite Delivery Contracts with the National Interagency Fire Center: a $250,000 I-BPA (effective May 28, 2024, through May 28, 2029) for emergency medical responders including EMTs, Advanced EMTs, and Paramedics; a $500,000 I-BPA (February 6, 2026, through May 28, 2029) for the same personnel; and a $250,000 I-BPA (July 16, 2026, through July 16, 2029) for rapid extraction module support. These IDCs establish Incident Blanket Purchase Agreements for nationwide deployment across fire suppression and all-hazard incident response.
Customer concentration is heavily Forest Service–dominated. The top five funding offices account for 85% of recent award count: Forest Service Region 6 (Pacific Northwest) leads with 21 awards valued at $1.8 million combined potential; Region 4 (Intermountain) follows with 15 awards at $1.8 million; Region 3 (Southwestern) has 5 awards at $706 thousand; the Bureau of Land Management Idaho Region holds 5 awards at $230 thousand; and Region 5 (Pacific Southwest) carries 4 awards at $446 thousand. The Forest Service Fire and Aviation Management National Interagency Fire Center anchors $1 million across its three I-BPA awards. Dollar volume and award count track closely across regions, indicating broad geographic presence without a single outlier customer.
Work spans nine distinct federal agencies but overwhelmingly concentrates within the Department of Agriculture Forest Service (USDA FS) and its regional components. Place of performance spans Forest Service Regions 1 through 6 (Northern, Rocky Mountain, Southwestern, Intermountain, Pacific Southwest, and Pacific Northwest) plus national coverage under the Fire Center I-BPAs. The vendor operates from Boise, Idaho, but has delivered equipment and personnel to wildfire and emergency-response operations across the Western United States, including Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Utah, Montana, California, Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado, and Wyoming.
The capability portfolio centers on four concrete product and service lines: Medical Support Units (MESUs) for field emergency care and triage; Rapid Extraction Support Modules (REMS) for personnel rescue in rugged terrain; rescue vehicles and utility terrain vehicles (UTVs) for off-road emergency transport; and on-demand paramedic and fireline personnel services (EMTs, Advanced EMTs, paramedics) deployed under the Fire Center I-BPAs. Across the award base, 28 awards cluster under "Ambulance Services" NAICS, 15 under "All Other Miscellaneous Ambulatory Health Care Services," 9 under satellite telecommunications (satellite phone and connectivity support), 5 under support activities for forestry, and smaller counts under vehicle rental. PSC coding reflects the same breakdown: 24 awards under "Medical–Other," 18 under "Natural Resources/Conservation–Forest Range Fire Suppression/Presuppression," 9 under "IT and Telecom–Network Satellite Communications," and 6 under ambulance transportation services.
Combined potential value across all 59 awards stands at $6.4 million, with $5.2 million (81%) already obligated. Awards span delivery orders, purchase orders, and multiple-award I-BPAs, with typical individual order values ranging from $3,840 (satellite phone services, July 2026) to $397,750 (medical support units and UTVs, May 2026). The vendor does not appear on parent vehicles beyond its own Fire Center I-BPAs; all work is direct prime contracting with Forest Service regions and BLM.
