Bishop Services, Inc.

Bishop Services, Inc., a for-profit small business based in Goldendale, Washington, provides mobile catering, shower facilities, equipment rentals, and comprehensive logistical support for wildland fire and all-hazard incident management to the U.S. Forest Service as a prime contractor under Total Small Business set-asides, operating 100% as a prime (no sub-award activity).

Bishop Services' entire federal footprint concentrates in Forest Service wildland fire and emergency response logistics. The National Interagency Fire Center (part of the Department of Agriculture Forest Service) drives 81 of 198 prime awards worth $157 million in combined potential value — 81% of the company's portfolio by dollars. The remaining work splits across Forest Service regional offices (R6-Pacific Northwest, R5-Pacific Southwest, R2-Rocky Mountain, R1-Northern, R3-Southwestern) and a handful of awards with the Occupational Safety and Health Review Commission. No other federal customer appears across the top five. The concentration is extreme: the NIFC and the broader Forest Service account for 97% of combined potential value across all awards.

Bishop Services holds three major IDC vehicles anchoring the delivery-order pipeline: a $30 million National Mobile Food Service Unit contract (multiple-award, Total Small Business, awarded July 1, 2025, through December 31, 2029); a $23.5 million National Mobile Shower Facilities contract (multiple-award, Total Small Business, awarded April 15, 2024, through December 31, 2028); and a $250 thousand call-when-needed shower units contract (multiple-award, no set-aside, awarded June 27, 2022, through April 29, 2031). These three vehicles alone carry combined ceiling value of $53.75 million. Delivery orders under the food service IDC alone represent $3.9 million across six task orders in the current source window. The top five parent vehicles account for 86 task orders (43% of 198 total awards) and $29.9 million in combined potential value. All vehicles are with the Forest Service/NIFC; no GSA Schedules, GWACs, or agency-wide IDIQs appear in the holdings.

Recent activity peaked in 2022–2023 (19 and 23 awards respectively) and has softened to 16 in 2025 and one award year-to-date in 2026, suggesting either volatility in seasonal fire-suppression demand or portfolio maturation. Awards per year show no growth trajectory; the portfolio is steady-state cyclical.

Bishop Services invoiced $20.5 million across SCI-reportable federal service contracts in FY2022–FY2024 (the SCI dataset covers only contracts above the $150 thousand threshold and excludes goods, product deliveries, and non-federal revenue, so this figure understates total enterprise federal revenue). FY2022 invoicing was $6.6 million across 20.2 FTEs; FY2023 was $7.5 million across 21.0 FTEs; FY2024 was $6.4 million across 11.3 FTEs — a 47% FTE decline year over year, likely reflecting the drop in task order volume. Government-paid hourly rates on SCI prime contracts run a median of $154.81 per hour, with a range from $105.60 per hour at the 10th percentile to $538.37 per hour at the 90th percentile, indicating a mix of field labor (catering, sanitation) and field supervision. The vendor performs 100% of work in-house on prime contracts and has never reported sub-hours on SCI records.

Award geographies span the western United States — Montana, Idaho, Oregon, Washington, California, Nevada, Arizona, Colorado, Utah, and New Mexico — reflecting Forest Service regional dispatch points for fire response. Place of performance typically rotates across remote incident sites; the vendor maintains a headquarters in Goldendale, Washington. Nearly all awards are firm fixed-price with economic price adjustment provisions, giving Bishop Services limited pricing flexibility but reliable cost structure. No classified work, grant funding, or sub-award relationships appear in the source material. The company's Total Small Business designation is consistent across prime IDVs and most delivery orders, positioning it as a set-aside preference holder for Forest Service emergency logistics procurements. The portfolio carries no recompete cliff or vehicle-renewal urgency in the immediate horizon — the three major IDC vehicles extend through 2029–2031 — but sustained dependency on a single customer agency (the NIFC) and narrow capability range (fire logistics) create concentration risk if wildland fire appropriations or incident frequency decline.
