Black Lands Ems Inc.

Black Lands Ems Inc., a self-certified small disadvantaged business based in Moscow, Idaho, provides emergency medical services, rescue operations, and wildfire response personnel to the Department of Agriculture Forest Service and Department of the Interior as a prime contractor (100% of recent awards), operating predominantly under small business set-asides and total small business set-aside indefinite delivery contracts. The company is a for-profit Subchapter S corporation competing primarily in ambulance services (NAICS 621411) and forest-range fire suppression support (PSC 01N5), with $2.6 million in combined potential value across 36 awards since mid-2022 and $2.1 million already obligated.

Black Lands EMS Inc. holds a dual-track capability footprint anchored in two $250,000 indefinite delivery contracts with the National Interagency Fire Center for Emergency Medical Responders Region 13 - National. The first IDC was awarded June 27, 2023, running through June 2028; a second, awarded February 6, 2026, carries identical terms and vehicle structure. Both contracts carry total small business set-aside designations and fund delivery orders nationwide across Forest Service regions. Under these vehicles, Black Lands EMS Inc. supplies certified emergency medical technicians, advanced EMTs, and paramedics alongside medical support units and rescue vehicles. Representative prime work includes a $282,896 purchase order from the National Interagency Fire Center (August 2023) for rescue and medical services supporting the Happy Camp Complex incident, a $243,547 purchase order from the Pacific Northwest Region (September 2022) for rescue and ambulance services in Baker City, Oregon, and a $203,548 purchase order from the Intermountain Region (September 2024) for a dump truck and rescue vehicle delivery. The company also holds purchase orders for rapid extraction support modules and medical support units from the Department of the Interior Bureau of Land Management Idaho Region, with three orders totaling $213,316 awarded June 1, 2025.

Customer concentration is narrow and regionally dispersed across Forest Service operations. The top five customers account for 83% of recent awards by count and 92% by potential value. The Department of Agriculture Forest Service Intermountain Region leads in award frequency (13 awards, $576 thousand combined potential value), while the Fire and Aviation Management National Interagency Fire Center anchors the dollar value (3 awards, $783 thousand combined potential value). The Northern Region (5 awards, $387 thousand), Pacific Northwest Region (3 awards, $380 thousand), and Bureau of Land Management Idaho Region (4 awards, $267 thousand) follow. Twenty-one task orders have been issued against the primary $250,000 IDC (12024B23T7099), carrying $430 thousand in combined potential value.

Activity accelerated sharply from two awards in 2022 to eighteen in 2025, with three additional awards in 2026. The company operates exclusively as a prime contractor with no subcontract footprint. Thirty of thirty-six awards are classified under forest-range fire suppression and presuppression (PSC 01N5), with four under medical services (PSC 0400). Performance occurs across western Forest Service regions and BLM offices, from Moscow, Idaho (headquarters and administrative base) to dispersed wildland and incident sites in Montana, Idaho, Oregon, Washington, Utah, Wyoming, and other regions. The company's delivery-order posture—ranging from $5,741 to $282,896 per task order—reflects seasonal wildfire incident demand and preseason personnel mobilization requirements characteristic of federal fire management support contracting.
