Boise Mobile Equipment, Inc.

Boise Mobile Equipment, Inc., a for-profit Subchapter S corporation based in Boise, Idaho, manufactures and supplies turnkey firefighting apparatus and specialized wildland fire suppression vehicles to federal land management agencies as a prime contractor under full-and-open competition on the GSA Multiple Award Schedule.

The company's federal portfolio comprises 373 prime awards spanning three and a half decades, with $225.8 million in combined potential value and $122.2 million obligated (54%). Boise Mobile Equipment competes exclusively on unrestricted vehicles—no set-asides; the majority of work flows through the GSA Multiple Award Schedule (132 task orders, $73.3 million combined potential value) and the Federal Supply Schedule GS30F1039D (115 task orders, $16.6 million). The company does not hold government-wide acquisition contracts or large agency-wide IDIQs; instead, it operates through standing blanket purchase agreements with specific customer offices, including a June 2020 BPA with the BLM Idaho Region for Department of Interior Class 669 water tenders and Class 644 crew carriers.

Capability framing is concrete and narrow: the company specializes in Class 669 tactical water tenders, Class 644 ten-person crew carriers, Type 2, Type 3, and Type 3H fire engines on 4x2 and 4x4 chassis, and related firefighting apparatus delivered as turnkey units with operational training. Recent representative work includes four delivery orders awarded August 5, 2026, by the BLM Idaho Region for Class 669 water tenders to Battle Mountain, Nevada ($573,244); Winnemucca, Nevada ($590,546); Boise, Idaho ($573,244); and Riverside, California ($590,546), all with completion dates of February 5, 2029. Earlier work includes a $4.32 million delivery order from USDA Forest Service for Type 3 fire engines (July 21, 2022, completed July 20, 2024, covering multiple western regions), a $908,000 Total Small Business set-aside from Forest Service for two tactical water tenders (March 24, 2023), and a $1.65 million definitive contract from Forest Service for seven Type 3H fire engines (September 28, 2023). Place of performance is Boise, Idaho, with vehicles deployed to BLM and Forest Service locations across Arizona, California, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, South Dakota, and Washington.

Customer concentration splits between volume and dollars. The BLM Idaho Region leads by award count (100 awards, $22.6 million combined potential value), while GSA Federal Acquisition Service anchors the dollar base ($117.7 million across seven awards, primarily flowing through the schedule). Forest Service dominates mid-tier customer rankings: the Pacific Southwest Region (R5) carries 59 awards ($32.2 million), and the Washington Office Acquisitions carries 12 awards ($28.2 million). The top five funding sources represent 92% of combined potential value. Notably, the source lists the Occupational Safety and Health Review Commission as the fourth-largest by award count (21 awards) but provides no dollar figures; these awards fall outside the dollar-dominant tier and likely represent smaller, non-vehicle work.

Activity has been uneven. Awards peaked at 13 per year in 2021 and 2023, declined to 10 in 2022, and dropped sharply to 4 in both 2025 and 2026 (the latter reflecting only two months of year-to-date activity through August 5, 2026). Recent completion dates cluster in mid-2025 through early 2026 on multiple BPA call orders; with several Class 644 crew carrier orders showing ultimate completion dates of July–September 2025, recompete risk for those vehicle lines sits immediately ahead. The company competes solely as a prime; the source carries zero sub-award activity across 373 awards.

Primary NAICS concentration is Motor Vehicle Body Manufacturing (235 awards); Fire Fighting Equipment is the dominant PSC (184 awards). The company's federal footprint is embedded in wildland fire suppression operations, with minimal defense exposure and no presence in advanced IT, logistics, or civilian IT modernization — work that anchors most federal contractor competitive pipelines. Boise Mobile Equipment's principal competitive exposure sits with other specialized vehicle OEMs bidding GSA Schedule deliveries to federal land management agencies on an ongoing basis.
