Big State Wildfire LLC

Big State Wildfire LLC is a for-profit limited liability company based in Fairbanks, Alaska, specializing in wildland fire management services. Registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) since May 19, 2006, the company provides critical resources and support to federal agencies, particularly the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service. As a small business contractor, Big State Wildfire LLC has established itself as a key provider of wildfire prevention, preparedness, response, and recovery services across multiple western regions of the United States.

The company's federal contract awards primarily involve providing comprehensive wildland fire management resources, including Type 2 firefighter crews, fire engines, water handling services, and prescribed fire support. These contracts have been awarded by various regions of the U.S. Forest Service, including the Pacific Northwest, Intermountain, Pacific Southwest, Southwestern, and Southern Regions. The contract awards are predominantly firm fixed-price delivery orders with ceiling values ranging from a few thousand dollars to over $275,000. While most contracts are not set aside for small businesses, Big State Wildfire LLC has demonstrated significant capabilities in competing for and securing federal contract awards across different Forest Service regions, supporting critical wildfire management efforts on National Forest System lands.

Big State Wildfire LLC holds several significant Indefinite Delivery Contracts (IDVs) set aside for small businesses, including a $3.4 million National Type 2IA Firefighter Crews contract, multiple $250,000 water handling contracts for different Forest Service regions, and a $7.5 million prescribed fire and support services contract. These IDVs, primarily awarded by the National Interagency Fire Center, enable the Forest Service to rapidly issue task orders for critical wildfire response resources. The contracts cover various regions including Regions 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, and 10, and provide a range of services such as supplying firefighter crews, water handling equipment, vehicles with drivers, and prescribed fire support. These contract vehicles demonstrate Big State Wildfire LLC's extensive capabilities in supporting comprehensive wildland fire management across the western United States.
