Baseline Emergency Solutions LLC

Baseline Emergency Solutions LLC, a self-certified small disadvantaged business based in Sacramento, California, provides incident support meals, mobile food service units, communications units, helicopter operations support, and hydration resources to the U.S. Forest Service and Department of Homeland Security as a prime contractor, competing entirely under total small business set-asides and full-and-open designations across all recent federal awards.

Baseline operates as a limited liability company and is a subsidiary of Fire & Ice Holdings, Inc., a for-profit parent organization based in Tucson, Arizona. The company's capability portfolio centers on logistics and operational support for wildfire suppression and all-hazard incident response, with concrete recent work including a $6.9 million delivery order from the National Interagency Fire Center in June 2026 to establish designated dispatch points for national mobile food service unit support through December 2030; a $15 million indefinite delivery contract from the National Interagency Fire Center awarded July 1, 2025, for National Mobile Food Service Unit capabilities running through June 30, 2030; and a $989,984 total small business set-aside definitive contract from U.S. Customs and Border Protection in September 2023 to provide food services for the Border Patrol Tucson Sector in Arizona through April 2025. Baseline holds six additional $250,000 indefinite delivery contracts with the Forest Service's National Interagency Fire Center for helicopter operations support, mobile communications units, and incident support meals, awarded between June 2022 and February 2026, collectively supporting wildland fire suppression and all-hazard operations across the National Zone and regional jurisdictions.

Customer concentration is heavily weighted to the Department of Agriculture Forest Service. The National Interagency Fire Center accounts for 8 awards valued at $23.4 million combined potential value — roughly 82% of total potential across all recent awards. The Forest Service's Pacific Southwest Region (R5) places 10 awards worth $1.2 million, and the Intermountain Region (R4) one award for $1 million. The Department of Homeland Security Customs and Border Protection places 2 awards worth $2 million. These five customer designations cover 99% of Baseline's combined potential value across 29 of 32 total awards. Activity has grown sharply from 5 awards in 2022 to 13 in 2024, though 2025 and 2026 show only 3 awards each through mid-June. Baseline faces a recompete cliff of eleven awards (combined potential value $42.7 million) completing within the next twenty-four months, concentrated in the Forest Service's regional mobile food service and emergency support IDCs set to expire through May 2029.

Parent vehicle positions center on Forest Service indefinite delivery contracts. The top five parent vehicles are all Forest Service or National Interagency Fire Center IDCs: IDC 12024B24T7012 carries 4 task orders worth $149 thousand, IDC 12024B22T7001 carries 3 task orders worth $164 thousand, IDC 12024B22T7000 carries 2 task orders worth $102 thousand, IDC 12024B24T7039 carries 2 task orders worth $77 thousand, and IDC 1202RZ23T0055 carries 2 task orders worth $28 thousand. Baseline does not hold positions on government-wide acquisition contracts, GSA schedules, or civilian-agency-wide IDIQs outside the Forest Service portfolio. The award portfolio is 100% prime work with no subcontract footprint.

Capability concentration by procurement classification is dual-tracked. The top NAICS codes are Other Support Activities for Air Transportation (10 awards) and Food Service Contractors (8 awards), with secondary categories in telecommunications and forestry support. The dominant PSC is Natural Resources/Conservation—Forest-Range Fire Suppression/Presuppression (24 awards), with specialty food categories accounting for 7 awards. Baseline's work is geographically concentrated in western regions — Pacific Southwest (California), Intermountain (Montana, Utah, Wyoming), and Pacific Northwest (Washington) — with sporadic Southwest exposure through Customs and Border Protection. All task orders and delivery orders are issued on firm fixed-price terms with economic price adjustment where applicable.
