Bison Ridge Fire Support LLC

Bison Ridge Fire Support LLC Bison Ridge Fire Division, a woman-owned small business and self-certified small disadvantaged business based in Boise, Idaho, provides water handling services, fire suppression equipment, and trained personnel for wildland fire management and all-hazard incident response to the U.S. Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management as a prime contractor operating under total small business set-asides and full-and-open competitive delivery orders. The vendor operates 100% as a prime, performing all work directly without subcontractors, and competes across both small business set-aside and unrestricted competitions on firm fixed-price delivery orders and purchase orders.

Bison Ridge holds two active Indefinite Delivery Contracts issued by the National Interagency Fire Center under the Department of Agriculture's Forest Service. The primary vehicle is IDC 1202SB25T7838 (awarded May 30, 2025, $250,000 ceiling, multiple-award small business set-aside, completion May 30, 2030), which procures water handling equipment, materials, supplies, transportation, and trained personnel capable of sustaining up to 16-hour daily shifts across Forest Service East Zone Regions 1, 2, 4, and 9, with incident procurement routed through the Virtual Incident Procurement system and Incident Blanket Purchase Agreements. A second vehicle, IDC 1202SB26T7442 (awarded February 6, 2026, $500,000 ceiling, small business set-aside, completion May 30, 2030), covers the same scope. Under the first IDC, Bison Ridge has issued eight task orders totaling $513,000 in combined potential value. Recent delivery orders include a $58,500 firm fixed-price order from Forest Service Region 4 for fire support services (June 26, 2026, completion July 8, 2026), a $99,000 full-and-open order from Region 4 (August 20, 2025, completion September 10, 2025), and multiple purchase orders for Type 3 wildland fire engines ranging from $19,533 to $48,907 each, awarded by Forest Service Idaho Region in June 2025 for deployment across the northern Great Basin and Nevada coordinated response areas.

Bison Ridge's customer base is concentrated in the Department of Agriculture Forest Service, which accounts for the vast majority of awards and potential value. The Forest Service Region 4 (Intermountain Region) anchors the workload with nine awards totaling $535,000 in combined potential value, while the National Interagency Fire Center contributes two awards worth $750,000 in combined potential value. The Department of the Interior's Bureau of Land Management Idaho Region has placed four awards totaling $142,000. Across sixteen prime awards in the source data spanning May 2025 to August 2026, Bison Ridge has generated $1.5 million in combined potential value with $760,000 obligated (50% execution rate). Activity peaked in 2025 with eleven awards; 2026 shows five awards to date, all issued in the June–August window. All work is performed in the western United States, with primary places of performance in Nevada, Utah, and Idaho. The vendor competes under NAICS 541711 (Support Activities for Forestry) and PSC Natural Resources/Conservation — Forest-Range Fire Suppression/Presuppression, with women-owned and veteran-owned designations recurring across the award portfolio.
