B&D Partnership LLC

B&D Partnership LLC, a for-profit limited liability company based in Surprise, Arizona, provides wildland fire suppression equipment, water handling units, and weed washing units for emergency response and incident support to the U.S. Forest Service as a prime contractor, competing exclusively under total small business set-asides and operating entirely within a single federal customer agency.

B&D Partnership's footprint is narrowly concentrated in wildland fire and all-hazard incident response, with 100% of awards (nine total, $1.3 million combined potential value) directed to the Department of Agriculture's Forest Service. The vendor holds two active Indefinite Delivery Contracts with the National Interagency Fire Center, awarded February and June 2025, each carrying a $250,000 ceiling through 2030 under the Virtual Incident Procurement (VIPR) Incident Blanket Purchase Agreement program. The first IDC covers water handling services for Regions 3 and 8, and the second covers weed washing units for Regions 3, 5, and 6. Under these vehicles, B&D Partnership has placed three task orders valued at approximately $57,000. The vendor also inherited a third IDC from June 2022 (now expired in June 2025) for weed washing units in Regions 3, 5, and 6, which generated one task order for $37,000. Four additional delivery orders, totaling $94,000, issued directly from the Forest Service Region 3 – Southwestern Region between May 2025 and May 2026 for emergency response and incident support services with firm fixed-price structures. Recent work includes a $26,400 May 2026 total small business set-aside delivery order for emergency response and incident support with place of performance in Alamogordo, New Mexico, and a $37,137 September 2024 delivery order for unspecified regional incident support.

All nine awards are classified under NAICS 541714 (Support Activities for Forestry) and PSC code D505 (Natural Resources/Conservation—Forest-Range Fire Suppression/Presuppression). Activity has grown from one award in 2022 to four in 2025 and three in 2026, though the absolute dollar volume remains modest. Combined dollars obligated across all awards total $94,000 (7% of the $1.3 million combined ceiling), indicating early-stage task-order utilization against the two active VIPR I-BPAs. B&D Partnership holds no parent GWAC positions, sits on no agency-wide vehicles beyond the two regional VIPR agreements, and operates no subcontractor footprint. The vendor's entire commercial footprint rests on the VIPR I-BPA program for the Forest Service, creating significant recompete exposure when those IDCs reach their 2030 maturity dates and making the vendor's federal pipeline dependent on continued incident demand and Forest Service re-award decisions in the western regions.
