RSB Wildland LLC

RSB Wildland LLC Suzann E Bouche Division, doing business as RSB Wildland, is a self-certified small disadvantaged business providing wildland fire management equipment, specialized vehicles, and certified personnel to the U.S. Forest Service and National Interagency Fire Center as a prime contractor operating exclusively under total small business set-asides.

RSB Wildland is a sole proprietorship headquartered in Oldtown, Idaho, led by Suzann E. Bouche, and operates across Forest Service Regions 1, 2, 4, 5, and 6 in the Western United States. The vendor's primary NAICS footprint centers on general automotive repair (28 awards), support activities for forestry (21 awards), and all-other transit and ground passenger transportation (21 awards). On the PSC side, 71 of 75 awards carry the natural resources/conservation forest-range fire suppression/presuppression code; the remainder cover equipment rental and leasing for motor vehicles and trailers. RSB Wildland competes exclusively within total small business set-asides across its entire prime contract portfolio—100% of awards are primes under small-business reserve, with no subcontract work in the source.

Capability work centers on providing mechanic service trucks, potable and gray water trucks, handwashing stations, utility vehicles, and certified drivers to support wildland fire prevention, preparedness, suppression, and emergency incident response. Representative delivery orders include a $132,013.90 firm fixed-price order from Forest Service Region 4 (Intermountain) awarded September 2024 for specialized vehicles and personnel, a $59,446.30 order from Region 4 in July 2024 for similar equipment and drivers, and a $22,310.40 delivery order from the Forest Service awarded August 2026 for wildland fire management resources performed in Kalispell, Montana.

Customer concentration is extreme. The National Interagency Fire Center accounts for 26 awards valued at $14 million combined potential value (84% of all dollars), while Forest Service Region 6 (Pacific Northwest) holds 23 awards worth $1.3 million, and Region 4 (Intermountain) holds 10 awards worth $718 thousand. These three customer touchpoints represent 95% of award count and 99% of combined potential value; the remaining customer base (Region 1 Northern, Rocky Mountain Research Station, and general Forest Service) carries negligible volume.

RSB Wildland holds a portfolio of 16 indefinite-delivery contracts issued by the National Interagency Fire Center between June 2023 and August 2026, all firm fixed-price, all total small business set-asides. The NIFC IDC vehicles span vehicle-with-driver services for Regions 1, 4, 5, and 6; mechanic-with-service-truck services for Regions 1–2 and 5–6; potable and gray water truck/handwashing station services for Regions 1–4 and Region 6; and a single $7.5 million multipurpose off-highway utility vehicle IDIQ running through December 2026. Most of these IDCs carry $250,000 ceilings; three carry $500,000 ceilings. Additional task-order vehicles include Forest Service region-specific blanket purchase agreements and indefinite delivery contracts managed through regional contracting offices. From the top five parent vehicles by task order count, RSB Wildland receives 3–5 orders per vehicle with modest individual ceilings—the highest concentration is 5 task orders under IDC 1284M820T7097 (combined $202 thousand).

Activity has grown sharply in the past two years. The vendor recorded 6 awards in 2022, 6 in 2023, 8 in 2024, 2 in 2025, and 14 through August 2026. The acceleration into 2026 reflects award velocity on newly minted NIFC IDCs. Combined potential value across all 75 awards reaches $16.6 million; only $976 thousand (6% of potential) has been obligated to date, reflecting the indefinite-delivery structure where ceilings are authorized but delivery orders are task-ordered incrementally. The vendor has no recompete cliff in the standard sense; instead, the NIFC IDC portfolio presents rolling expiration risk: vehicles awarded in 2023 expire through June 2028; those awarded in 2024–2026 extend through 2028–2031, with the single off-highway vehicle IDIQ maturing December 2026. RSB Wildland operates with no federal contract prime vehicles, no IDV holdings in the formal sense beyond NIFC-issued IDCs, and no subcontract footprint—the vendor is entirely a small-business-set-aside delivery-order recipient.
