Big Sky Equipment Repair, LLC

Big Sky Equipment Repair, LLC, a Montana-based small business partnership, provides mobile mechanic and field equipment repair services to the National Interagency Fire Center (NIFC) under total small business set-aside IDIQs supporting the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service fire suppression and incident response operations. The vendor operates exclusively as a prime contractor on multiple-award indefinite-delivery vehicles and serves a single federal customer across three geographic regions in the western United States.

Big Sky Equipment Repair holds three consecutive awards from NIFC, all structured as firm fixed price IDIQs with $250 thousand ceilings each under the VIPR I-BPA (Volunteer and Prescribed Burn Incident Prevention Integrated Blanket Purchase Agreement) framework. The vendor's scope centers on providing onsite mechanical repair and maintenance services with fully equipped mobile service trucks for equipment used in local, regional, and national fire suppression operations, all-hazard incident response, and prescribed burn project work. The awards cover the East Zone encompassing Forest Service Regions 1, 2, and 4, with services extending across Montana, Wyoming, and adjacent territories. The first IDIQ was awarded June 8, 2023, with performance running through June 8, 2028; a second award issued February 6, 2026, through June 8, 2028; and the most recent award, August 4, 2026, extends through August 5, 2031. All three awards are designated for total small business set-aside competition, reflecting the vendor's consistent positioning in this procurement category.

Customer concentration is absolute — the National Interagency Fire Center accounts for 100% of awards and combined potential value ($750 thousand). Activity shows two awards in 2026 following a single award in 2023, with no sub-award activity in the portfolio. The vendor's primary NAICS classification is General Automotive Repair, with service delivery governed by PSC Natural Resources/Conservation–Forest-Range Fire Suppression/Presuppression.
