Black Flag Response LLC

Black Flag Response LLC, a Newport Beach, California–based for-profit limited liability company, supplies specialized emergency response equipment—medical support units, rapid extraction modules, rescue vehicles, and utility terrain vehicles—to the U.S. Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management as a prime contractor competing in open market procurements with no set-aside designation across its $2.4 million recent federal footprint.

The company operates exclusively as a prime contractor (100% of awards) and competes without SBA set-aside protection, winning all 24 recent awards on full-and-open basis. Activity has moderated from fourteen awards in 2024 to nine in 2025, with one award issued year-to-date through May 2026. The combined potential value across all awards is $2.4 million, fully obligated, reflecting the purchase-order structure of Forest Service regional procurements with firm fixed pricing and compressed performance timelines (typically thirty to ninety days).

Customer concentration is tightly clustered within the U.S. Forest Service regional structure, accounting for 88% of awards by count and 94% by potential value. The Department of Agriculture Forest Service Region 3 (Southwestern Region) dominates with seven awards valued at $968 thousand combined potential, followed by Region 6 (Pacific Northwest Region) with five awards ($522 thousand), Region 4 (Intermountain Region) with three awards ($271 thousand), and Region 5 (Pacific Southwest Region) with three awards ($254 thousand). The Department of the Interior Bureau of Land Management Idaho Region completes the top customer set with three awards ($208 thousand). No secondary customer base or contract vehicle diversification exists in the visible footprint; work concentration in Forest Service regional emergency response procurement is nearly complete.

Black Flag's capability portfolio centers on REMS (Rapid Extraction Support) modules and rescue vehicles, appearing in thirteen awards under the Medical-Other PSC. Representative 2025 awards include a $382.6 thousand delivery order to Forest Service Region 3 for a Medical Support Unit and Rapid Extraction Support module (August 2025), a $184.9 thousand order for REMS modules to Region 3 (June 2025), a $155.4 thousand rescue vehicle order to Region 6 (August 2024), and a $149.7 thousand rescue vehicle delivery to Region 5 (August 2024). The company also supplies utility terrain vehicles (two awards) and rescue/medical services packages, with individual order values typically ranging from $27 thousand to $383 thousand. Performance locations span western and southwestern forest regions (Arizona, California, Idaho, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, Utah, Washington) and eastern operations (North Carolina), with administrative oversight centered at Newport Beach. The vendor operates with no subcontractor relationships in the visible award history.
