Black Flag Response LLC

Black Flag Response LLC, a Newport Beach, California-based for-profit limited liability company, supplies specialized emergency response equipment to the U.S. Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management as a prime contractor competing in open-market and small-business-set-aside procurements. The vendor operates exclusively as a prime, with no subcontractor footprint in the recent award record.

Black Flag Response delivers rapid extraction support modules (REMS), medical support units (MESU), rescue vehicles (RESV), utility terrain vehicles (UTV), and related emergency and medical services to federal land management agencies. The vendor's capability portfolio is narrowly focused on purpose-built emergency response hardware and fielded support. Representative awards include an $446,866 purchase order from U.S. Forest Service Region 6 (Pacific Northwest Region) in July 2026 for two REMS modules and two MESU units across Swauk Creek, Three Queens, and Goat locations in Washington; a $382,626 purchase order from Forest Service Region 3 (Southwestern Region) in August 2025 for a MESU and REMS module at Billy, Arizona; and a $184,954 purchase order from Forest Service Region 3 in June 2025 for two REMS modules near Trout, New Mexico. Individual purchase orders typically range from $27,000 to $383,000, with firm fixed pricing and delivery timelines of thirty to ninety days. Black Flag Response also holds a multiple-award Indefinite Delivery Contract from the National Interagency Fire Center awarded August 12, 2026, with a $250,000 ceiling running through August 12, 2029, covering REMS, MESU, rescue vehicles, and utility terrain vehicles across western and southwestern forest regions plus North Carolina operations.

Customer concentration is heavily concentrated within USDA Forest Service regional operations. The top five customer entities account for 84% of awards by count and 88% by combined potential value. Forest Service Region 6 (Pacific Northwest) leads by dollar value with 8 awards totaling $1.2 million, while Forest Service Region 3 (Southwestern) matches with 8 awards totaling $1 million. Region 4 (Intermountain), Region 5 (Pacific Southwest), and the Bureau of Land Management Idaho Region account for the remaining top-tier customers. Black Flag Response has worked with nine distinct federal customer organizations, all within USDA Forest Service or the Department of the Interior Bureau of Land Management.

Activity shows declining trajectory: fourteen awards in 2024, nine in 2025, and eight in 2026 through mid-August. The vendor's recent award footprint spans 31 purchase orders and one IDIQ, with combined potential value of $3.5 million and $3.2 million obligated (93% of potential). The vendor's award category concentration reflects its capability focus: twenty awards fall under NAICS 621410 (Ambulance Services), with medical equipment and forest-fire-suppression support dominating the PSC codes. Black Flag Response competes predominantly in full-and-open procurements, with one Total Small Business set-aside delivery order from Forest Service Region 6 in August 2026 ($114,622) representing the only recent set-aside award.
