Black Knight Enterprises Inc.

Black Knight Enterprises Inc., doing business as Black Knight Fire Support, is a self-certified small disadvantaged, veteran-owned, and service-disabled veteran-owned business headquartered in Orland, California, that provides wildland fire support, heavy equipment deployment, timber harvesting, and integrated resource stewardship services to the USDA Forest Service as a prime contractor under total small business set-asides and full-and-open competitions. All 32 recent awards are primes; the vendor holds no subcontract work in the source data.

The vendor operates almost exclusively within the Department of Agriculture Forest Service ecosystem. The top two customer agencies account for 100% of recent awards: USDA Forest Service Region 5 (Pacific Southwest Region) anchors the portfolio with 15 awards worth $64.1 million combined potential value, while the National Interagency Fire Center holds 9 awards worth $3.8 million. USDA Forest Service Region 6 (Pacific Northwest Region) adds six smaller delivery orders totaling $328 thousand. Black Knight's capability footprint is narrowly specialized: all 32 awards fall within NAICS 561730 (Support Activities for Forestry), and 29 carry the PSC code for Forest-Range Fire Suppression/Presuppression work. Service delivery includes wildland fire personnel and equipment, water handling apparatus, heavy earthmoving equipment (dozers, excavators, feller bunchers), timber stewardship, road maintenance, and mastication across California and Oregon.

Black Knight holds five active indefinite delivery vehicles anchoring recurring revenue. The largest is a $50 million single-award Blanket Purchase Agreement with USDA Forest Service Region 5 for integrated resource stewardship services (Pacific Southwest Stewardship BPA, awarded February 22, 2023, running through October 3, 2032); a $13 million BPA call under this vehicle (Trinity Stewardship IRSC, awarded July 7, 2023, completing December 18, 2026) represents the single largest award in the recompete window and alone accounts for $13 million of the $13 million combined potential value due to complete in the next twenty-four months. Black Knight also holds four total-small-business-set-aside indefinite delivery contracts awarded by the National Interagency Fire Center between June 2022 and August 2026, ranging from $250 thousand to $750 thousand each, covering heavy equipment and water handling services for various regional zones and fire-response regions (Regions 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 9, and 10). These IDV vehicles generated 10 task orders carrying $693 thousand in combined potential value.

Activity has grown substantially: three awards in 2022 rose to ten in 2023, then moderated to seven in 2024 and two in 2025, with six awards in 2026. Combined potential value across all awards stands at $68.3 million, though only $14.4 million (21%) has been obligated as of the source date. Representative delivery-order work includes a $176.8 thousand order from Forest Service Region 5 for forestry and wildland fire support in Clovis, California (September 2025), a $396 thousand purchase order for a Feller Buncher Type 1 heavy equipment unit (September 2025), and a $92.2 thousand delivery order for unspecified forestry and fire services (September 2024). The vendor competes under total small business set-asides on its indefinite delivery vehicle awards and under full-and-open (non-set-aside) designations on the majority of individual delivery orders and the large stewardship BPA call.

Black Knight Fire Support specializes in wildland fire suppression as well as road construction/maintenance, aggregate goods hauling, land development, fuels reduction management, consulting services for construction in sensitive fisheries areas, heavy equipment transportation, and dust abatement and water delivery services.
