Blue Line Services LLC

Blue Line Services LLC, a small-business sole proprietorship based in Spokane, Washington, supplies water handling equipment, heavy construction equipment, trained personnel, and emergency response logistics for wildfire suppression and all-hazard incident management as a prime contractor exclusively under total small business set-asides with the U.S. Forest Service and National Interagency Fire Center. The vendor operates 100% as a prime and maintains no subcontract relationships.

Blue Line's federal footprint is concentrated and regional. Two customer entities account for 100% of recent awards: the Department of Agriculture Forest Service's Region 6 – Pacific Northwest Region (16 awards, $936 thousand combined potential value) and the Fire and Aviation Management National Interagency Fire Center (7 awards, $2.8 million combined potential value). All 23 awards fall under NAICS 541712 (Support Activities for Forestry) and PSC Natural Resources/Conservation – Forest-Range Fire Suppression/Presuppression. The two customer rankings diverge substantially by dollar magnitude: while Region 6 places more individual task orders, the National Interagency Fire Center anchors the dollar value through larger IDC ceiling awards and delivery orders.

Blue Line holds six active Indefinite Delivery Contracts with the National Interagency Fire Center, all awarded between June 2022 and February 2026, all designated total small business set-asides, all firm fixed price. These vehicles include: a $250,000 IDC for water handling services in Regions 3, 5, 6, and 10 (awarded June 3, 2022; expired June 6, 2025); a $500,000 IDC for water handling in Region 6 (awarded February 6, 2026; extends to May 29, 2030); a $500,000 IDC for heavy equipment in West Zone Regions 5 and 6 (awarded February 6, 2026; extends to May 16, 2030); a $750,000 IDC for miscellaneous heavy equipment in Region 6 (awarded February 6, 2026; extends to May 12, 2030); a $250,000 IDC for water handling in Region 6 (awarded May 29, 2025; extends to May 29, 2030); and a $250,000 IDC for heavy equipment in Regions 5 and 6 (awarded May 16, 2025; extends to May 16, 2030). The top vehicle by task-order utilization is Indefinite Delivery Contract 1204H125T7029 with six task orders ($634 thousand combined potential value). Blue Line operates under the Virtual Incident Procurement (VIPR) system, which establishes pre-positioned blanket purchase agreements enabling rapid mobilization during fire season and incident operations across western Forest Service regions.

Activity has accelerated sharply: one award in 2022, four each in 2024 and 2025, and fourteen in 2026. Combined potential value across all 23 awards is $3.7 million; obligated dollars total $936 thousand (25% of potential value), reflecting the firm fixed-price structure and the lag between delivery-order award dates and ultimate completion. Recent representative delivery orders include a $234,000 firm fixed-price order from the National Interagency Fire Center for water handling equipment and emergency response logistics (awarded July 26, 2026; completion September 2, 2026), a $201,500 order for the same scope (awarded August 2, 2026; completion September 2, 2026), an $87,400 order from Region 6 (awarded July 19, 2026; completion August 4, 2026), and a $130,255.50 order from Region 6 (awarded July 9, 2026; completion July 28, 2026). Delivery orders consistently specify place of performance in Pendleton or Baker City, Oregon, and Wenatchee, Washington — operational dispatch points rather than the company's Spokane headquarters.
