Bolder Operations LLC

Bolder Operations LLC is a small disadvantaged business organized as a limited liability partnership and headquartered in Republic, Washington. The company specializes in providing equipment and support services for wildland fire suppression and all-hazard incident response operations, with a primary operational focus in the Pacific Northwest region serving the U.S. Forest Service. Bolder Operations LLC registered with SAM.gov in August 2024 and maintains active certifications as a self-certified small disadvantaged business and Subchapter S Corporation, positioning itself as a critical resource for emergency fire management and incident response across Forest Service Regions 5 and 6.

Bolder Operations LLC has received nine delivery order awards from the U.S. Forest Service between September 1, 2025, and October 18, 2025, with individual contract values ranging from $1,850 to $50,600, totaling approximately $190,909.27 in awarded delivery orders. These delivery orders represent activations under the Forest Service's Virtual Incident Procurement (VIPR) system and do not utilize set-aside designations, indicating the company's capability to compete openly for such work. The delivery orders have been issued by various Forest Service entities, including Region 6 (Pacific Northwest Region), as well as Forest Service offices in Oregon and Washington, with performance locations spanning Wenatchee, Colville, Spokane, Redmond, and other Pacific Northwest locations. The company's contract work encompasses the provision of water handling equipment including engines and water tenders, heavy machinery such as dozers and excavators, and miscellaneous heavy equipment necessary for wildland fire management and prescribed project work. All delivery orders were firm fixed-price contracts with completion dates in September and October 2025, reflecting the company's deployment during the active fire suppression season.

Bolder Operations LLC holds three separate Indefinite Delivery Contracts (IDCs) through the U.S. Forest Service's Virtual Incident Procurement (VIPR) system, each with a ceiling value of $250,000 and performance periods extending through May 2030. These multiple award, small business set-aside IDCs were awarded by the National Interagency Fire Center on behalf of the Forest Service and are structured to support pre-season Incident Blanket Purchase Agreements (I-BPAs) that can be activated during emergency response scenarios. The three IDCs cover distinct equipment categories: water handling equipment for fire suppression (including Engines Type 3-6, Support Water Tenders Type 1-3, and Tactical Water Tenders Type 1-2); heavy equipment for West Zone Regions 5 and 6 (including dozers, excavators, and related machinery); and miscellaneous heavy equipment for Region 6 operations (including equipment, personnel, and related support services for wildland fire suppression and prescribed project work). These standing agreements establish a pre-positioned capability allowing the Forest Service to rapidly deploy critical resources during wildland fire and all-hazard incident management situations across the Pacific Northwest region.
