Blue Ribbon Fire Company LLC

Blue Ribbon Fire Company LLC, a woman-owned small business based in Lakewood, Colorado (also operating as Blue Ribbon Fire Co LLC with headquarters in Laramie, Wyoming), supplies wildland fire suppression equipment and trained personnel to the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service as a prime contractor across multiple regions, competing predominantly under total small business set-asides on indefinite delivery contracts.

The company's federal footprint centers on four core Indefinite Delivery Contracts (IDCs) with the National Interagency Fire Center totaling approximately $8 million in potential value through 2028–2030. These vehicles procure multipurpose utility vehicles (UTV), all-terrain vehicles (ATV), recreational off-road vehicles (ROV), fuel tenders, water handling equipment, and certified fire suppression personnel through the Virtual Incident Procurement (VIPR) system. The largest holding is a $7.5 million multiple-award I-BPA for UTV and off-highway vehicle rental with a base period extending through December 2026, awarded April 21, 2023, under total small business set-aside; delivery orders under this vehicle have ranged from $4,500 to $84,825 and support Forest Service Regions 2, 3, 4, and 9 across Colorado, Wyoming, New Mexico, Nebraska, Idaho, and Arizona. Three additional $250,000 IDCs awarded in 2022–2026 cover fuel tenders (Regions 1, 2, 4), water handling equipment and personnel (Regions 1, 2, 4, 8, 9), and Advanced Life Support/Basic Life Support ambulance services (nationally), all carrying total small business set-asides.

Customer concentration is sharp and hierarchical by dollar value. The National Interagency Fire Center represents seven awards with $9 million combined potential value (87% of the total portfolio), while the Bureau of Land Management Idaho Region accounts for ten awards at $475 thousand. The Department of Agriculture Forest Service regions (Rocky Mountain Region 2, Southwestern Region 3, and Intermountain Region 4) collectively place 44 awards totaling $698 thousand across small delivery orders, but the dollars are anchored by the NIFC parent IDCs. By award count (90% coverage), Rocky Mountain Region leads with 23 delivery orders ($436 thousand), followed by Southwestern Region with 13 ($116 thousand).

Activity has accelerated sharply: four awards in 2022 to 31 in 2025, with ten awards year-to-date in 2026. Recent representative delivery orders include a $39,527.66 small business set-aside order from Forest Service Region 2 (Rocky Mountain Region) on June 12, 2026, for wildland fire suppression equipment and personnel in Chadron, Nebraska; four June 29, 2026, awards from Region 3 (Southwestern Region) totaling $29,648 for fire suppression services in Taos, New Mexico, all firm fixed price; and June 1, 2025, purchase orders from the Bureau of Land Management Idaho Region totaling $475,000 across ten equipment line items (Type 6 engines, UTVs, fuel tenders, water tenders, all performing through October 31, 2025). The bulk of recent work flows through IDC delivery orders under VIPR, with individual order values typically ranging $4,600–$84,825 for equipment rental and personnel support at active fire suppression sites.

The company's NAICS footprint splits between Support Activities for Forestry (32 awards) and Truck, Utility Trailer, and RV Rental and Leasing (30 awards), with corresponding PSC concentration in ground-effect vehicle lease/rental (30 awards) and natural resources forest-range fire suppression/presuppression (28 awards). Recompete exposure in the next twenty-four months is minimal: only three awards totaling $24 thousand reach ultimate completion within that window. The source does not indicate any subcontractor relationships; all 68 awards are prime contracts and IDVs.
