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, operating entirely as a prime contractor on firm fixed-price delivery orders and indefinite delivery contracts.

Bison Ridge is certified as a woman-owned small business, veteran-owned business, and small disadvantaged business, competing under small business set-asides and full-and-open designations across its footprint. Primary work falls under NAICS 541711 (Support Activities for Forestry) and PSC codes for forest-range fire suppression and fire fighting equipment. The vendor's recent award activity spans thirteen total federal awards valued at $1.1 million combined potential value, with $613 thousand obligated to date — a 55% obligation rate reflecting active execution on incident-responsive delivery orders.

Customer concentration is highly regional and focused on Western forest and rangeland fire operations. The Department of Agriculture's Forest Service Fire and Aviation Management National Interagency Fire Center leads by potential value at $500 thousand across two awards (the primary vehicle base), followed by Forest Service Region 4–Intermountain Region at $389 thousand across six delivery orders, and the Department of the Interior's Bureau of Land Management Idaho Region at $142 thousand across four purchase orders. All fourteen distinct awards go to Forest Service and BLM offices; no subcontractor activity appears in the footprint.

Bison Ridge holds two multiple-award Indefinite Delivery Contracts for water handling services with the National Interagency Fire Center, both firm fixed-price, small-business set-asides with $250 thousand ceilings running through May 30, 2030. The primary vehicle (contract 1202SB25T7838) has funded seven task orders totaling $472 thousand in combined potential value. Under these IDCs, Bison Ridge supplies 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. Recent named work includes a $58,500 small-business-set-aside delivery order for fire support services issued June 26, 2026 (ultimate completion July 8, 2026) by Forest Service Region 4, and multiple June 2025 purchase orders for Type 3 wildland fire engines valued between $19,533 and $48,907 each, issued by the Forest Service Idaho Region for deployment across the northern Great Basin and Nevada coordinated response areas.

Activity was front-loaded in 2025 with eleven awards; two awards have followed in 2026 to date. No recompete cliff is apparent in the near term, as both IDC vehicles do not complete until May 2030 and delivery orders are episodic incident-driven procurements. The vendor operates with zero subcontract footprint — all work is performed directly.
