Black Forest Wildland Suppression LLC

Black Forest Wildland Suppression LLC, a Colorado-based woman-owned small disadvantaged business structured as a limited liability company, provides wildland fire suppression personnel, equipment, and emergency medical response services to federal land management agencies as a prime contractor under total small business set-asides. The firm operates exclusively through direct federal contracts and indefinite delivery contracts; it holds no subcontract relationships.

Black Forest's capability portfolio centers on incident-driven wildland fire suppression support and emergency response logistics. The firm holds multiple-award VIPR I-BPA (Virtual Incident Procurement Incident Blanket Purchase Agreement) positions with the National Interagency Fire Center: a water handling services contract covering U.S. Forest Service East Zone Regions 1, 2, 4, and 9 (ceiling $250,000, through May 30, 2030), and an Advanced Life Support and Basic Life Support ambulance services contract for Region 13 on a national basis (ceiling $500,000, through May 8, 2030). Both contracts employ firm fixed-price rates enabling rapid regional dispatch mobilization. Representative delivery orders include a $22,731.95 total small business set-aside from the Forest Service (May 2026) for wildland fire suppression and emergency response support in Meade, Kansas; a $31,800 delivery order from Forest Service Region 2 (Rocky Mountain Region) for wildfire suppression operations in Pueblo, Colorado (August 2025); and two purchase orders from the Forest Service Idaho Region totaling $119,250 for Type 3 engine procurement (June 2025). Work is performance-driven and regionally concentrated, with completion dates tied to seasonal fire activity or specific incident response windows.

Customer concentration is singular and acute. The Department of Agriculture Forest Service Fire and Aviation Management National Interagency Fire Center accounts for four awards and $1.3 million of the $1.4 million combined potential value (93%). The Department of the Interior Bureau of Land Management Idaho Region places two smaller orders ($119,000 combined). The remaining Forest Service regional offices (Rocky Mountain Region and generic Forest Service) add $55,000 across two delivery orders. Four distinct agencies appear across the portfolio, but the National Interagency Fire Center dominates both award count and potential value. Activity has been light — five awards in 2025, three in 2026 — with only $174,000 obligated against the $1.4 million combined potential ceiling, reflecting the incident-driven and discretionary nature of wildland fire suppression work.

Black Forest competes under total small business set-asides across all recorded awards. The firm's primary NAICS categories are Support Activities for Forestry (six awards) and Ambulance Services (two awards). No recompete cliff is present in the source data, and no subcontract footprint exists; Black Forest operates as a direct prime on all recorded federal work.
