Bishop Services, Inc.

Bishop Services, Inc., a for-profit Subchapter S corporation based in Goldendale, Washington, operates as a prime contractor (100% of recent awards) providing mobile catering, shower facilities, equipment rentals, and logistical support for wildland fire and all-hazard incident management to the U.S. Forest Service, competing predominantly under Total Small Business set-asides on Forest Service indefinite delivery contracts.

Customer concentration is extreme and singular. The National Interagency Fire Center accounts for 81 awards and $156.4 million of the combined potential value across all 207 prime awards—nearly 80% of the entire portfolio. The broader Department of Agriculture Forest Service organization (including regional offices and the main service) accounts for 68 of the remaining awards and $29.7 million, bringing Forest Service-affiliated customers to 83% of award count and 93% of combined potential value. The Occupational Safety and Health Review Commission represents a minor outlier with 22 awards but no dollar values disclosed in the source.

Bishop Services holds three standing indefinite delivery contracts anchoring its federal footprint. The Forest Service National Mobile Food Service Unit 2025–2029 is a $30 million multiple-award IDIQ (awarded July 1, 2025, through December 31, 2029) under Total Small Business set-aside, with 10 delivery orders issued to date totaling $6.6 million in combined potential value. A $23.5 million multiple-award IDIQ for National Mobile Shower Facilities runs through December 31, 2028, awarded April 15, 2024. A third vehicle, the Call-When-Needed Shower Units contract, carries a $250,000 ceiling through April 29, 2031. Beyond these named vehicles, Bishop Services places task orders under additional Forest Service IDCs—notably Indefinite Delivery Contract 12024B20T2505, which accounts for 39 task orders and $24.9 million in combined potential value, and four other active IDCs carrying $1 million to $1.3 million each.

Recent delivery orders exemplify the portfolio: a $2.1 million Competitive Total Small Business call from the Forest Service issued July 31, 2026, for mobile catering and incident logistics with performance in Vale, Oregon; a $962 thousand order awarded July 17, 2025, for food service operations in St. George, Utah; a $752 thousand order from Region 2 (Rocky Mountain Region) dated September 2, 2025, for catering support in Glenwood Springs, Colorado; and a $564 thousand order from Region 1 (Northern Region) dated September 12, 2025, for operations in Colville, Washington. Orders split between Total Small Business set-asides and full-and-open competition, with performance spanning western Forest Service regions from Montana and Idaho through California, Arizona, Colorado, and Oregon.

Activity has remained steady over the past five years—19 to 23 awards annually from 2022 through 2024, declining to 9 awards in the first eight months of 2026. The recompete cliff is minimal: only one award ($178,000) faces ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, indicating most of Bishop Services' standing contracts and delivery orders extend through 2028 or beyond.

Service Contract Inventory data captures $20.5 million in SCI-reportable invoiced revenue across four fiscal years (FY2022–FY2024). The company reported 20.2 FTEs in FY2022, 21.0 FTEs in FY2023, and 11.3 FTEs in FY2024, declining sharply; FY2025 SCI records carry zero FTEs, suggesting either delayed reporting or work restructuring. Across SCI-reportable federal service contracts, government-paid hourly rates run a median of $154.81/hr, with rates spanning $105.60/hr at the 10th percentile to $538.37/hr at the 90th percentile, reflecting a mix of field labor (lower-rate catering and facilities staff) and supervisory or specialized incident management roles (higher rates). Bishop Services performs 100% of work in-house on its federal contracts with zero subcontractor engagement recorded in SCI data.

The category concentration reflects the vendor's operational niche: Support Activities for Forestry dominates at 115 awards, Food Service Contractors at 58 awards. By PSC code, Natural Resources/Conservation—Forest-Range Fire Suppression/Presuppression accounts for 178 of the 207 awards, with Housekeeping–Facilities Operations Support comprising the remaining work.
