Blacktimber Wildland Services LLC

Blacktimber Wildland Services LLC, a woman-owned small business based in Chino Valley, Arizona, provides wildland fire suppression, water handling, and emergency response services to the U.S. Forest Service as a prime contractor, operating exclusively under federal contracts with no subcontract footprint. The company competes predominantly under small-business set-asides, holding multiple small-business Incident Blanket Purchase Agreements and Total Small Business set-aside Indefinite Delivery Contracts with the National Interagency Fire Center.

Blacktimber's capability portfolio centers on tactical wildland fire services: personnel deployment (hand crews), water tender equipment and operation, fire suppression support, and logistical resources for all-hazard incidents and prescribed fire work. Representative work includes a $132,051 delivery order from Forest Service Region 5 (Pacific Southwest) for comprehensive wildland fire services including personnel, water handling, and equipment; a $78,992 firm fixed-price delivery order from Region 3 (Southwestern) for fire management work in Chino Valley, Arizona; and ongoing task orders under Virtual Incident Procurement (VIPR) Incident Blanket Purchase Agreements for water handling services ranging from $12,000 to $57,000 across multiple regions. The company holds five active Indefinite Delivery Contracts, all issued by the National Interagency Fire Center under Total Small Business set-asides: two $500,000-ceiling contracts awarded February 2026 for Regions 3 and 8 and for East Zone Regions 1, 2, 4, and 9; and three $250,000-ceiling contracts for water handling in the West Zone (Regions 3, 5, 6, and 10) and Regions 3 and 8, respectively, running through 2030.

Customer concentration is tightly focused on the Forest Service. The top five Forest Service regional and national offices account for 75% of all awards: Region 3 (Southwestern) leads with 34 awards totaling $1.4 million in combined potential value; the National Interagency Fire Center anchors dollar concentration with 6 awards totaling $1.8 million; Region 5 (Pacific Southwest) holds 7 awards worth $305 thousand; Region 4 (Intermountain) holds 3 awards worth $190 thousand; and Region 6 (Pacific Northwest) holds 5 awards worth $169 thousand. By potential value, the National Interagency Fire Center's IDC vehicles dominate the dollar share, while Region 3's high award count reflects frequent tactical deployment orders under standing BPAs.

Blacktimber places 73 awards across five parent vehicle vehicles. The largest is Blanket Purchase Agreement AG8371B167006 with 18 task orders totaling $413 thousand, followed by Indefinite Delivery Contract 1202SB22T7530 with 10 task orders worth $343 thousand and IDC 12837119T7013 with 8 task orders worth $292 thousand. Combined potential value across all awards stands at $4.4 million, with $2.1 million obligated to date. Recent activity shows modest growth through 2025 (7 awards) before tapering to 4 awards year-to-date in 2026, with the most recent award a $72,000 Total Small Business delivery order from Region 5 issued August 31, 2026.
