Big Country Specialists LLC

Big Country Specialists LLC, a woman-owned small business and self-certified small disadvantaged business headquartered in Cle Elum, Washington, operates as a prime contractor delivering fire-suppression equipment and land-rental services to the federal government, competing exclusively under Total Small Business set-asides. The vendor's footprint comprises five awards across two customer agencies, all within the past fifteen months, with $1.1 million in combined potential value.

Big Country's customer base is entirely concentrated within the Department of Agriculture's Forest Service. The National Interagency Fire Center accounts for three awards ($1 million combined potential value) covering weed washing units and chipper procurement; the Forest Service Region 6–Pacific Northwest Region accounts for two awards ($91 thousand combined potential value) for land rental and miscellaneous services. The two customer rankings align completely — both agencies are Forest Service components — reflecting Big Country's specialized position in fire-suppression logistics and incident response.

The vendor holds three indefinite-delivery contracts under Total Small Business set-asides. A February 2026 multiple-award contract with the National Interagency Fire Center provides weed washing units equipped with trained personnel for fire suppression and all-hazard incident response across Forest Service Regions 3, 5, and 6, running through June 9, 2030, with a $500 thousand ceiling. An August 2026 multiple-award contract for chipper procurement and related services across Regions 5 and 6 carries a $250 thousand ceiling and runs through August 11, 2029. A June 2025 vehicle for weed washing units with the same regional scope and completion date holds a $250 thousand ceiling. Optional use by the Department of the Interior, National Park Service, and Bureau of Indian Affairs is permitted subject to each agency's administrative terms.

Recent delivery orders and purchase orders include a $71 thousand GSA Region 6 delivery order (ultimate completion September 5, 2026) and a $19.5 thousand Department of the Interior land-rental purchase order for Wenatchee, Washington (ultimate completion September 19, 2026). Activity has grown from one award in 2025 to four in 2026, with only $91 thousand obligated against $1.1 million in potential value — typical of early-stage IDC positions awaiting task-order demand. The vendor carries no subcontract footprint and operates entirely as a prime on Total Small Business vehicles.
