Aldercreek Fire RX LLC

Aldercreek Fire RX LLC, an SBA HUBZone-certified small business based in Twisp, Washington, supplies specialized wildland fire management and prescribed burning services to the U.S. Forest Service as a prime contractor across delivery orders, blanket purchase agreements, and indefinite delivery contracts. The vendor operates as a sole proprietorship and competes exclusively in the HUBZone set-aside and total small business set-aside categories — no full-and-open awards appear in the recent portfolio.

Aldercreek's capability footprint centers on professional fallers, faller modules, firefighting equipment, incident response support, prescribed burning operations, vegetation management, and forest stewardship work. Concrete examples include a $584,417 total-small-business BPA call awarded May 8, 2026 by USDA Forest Service Region 6 for prescribed fire activities in Colville, Washington (ultimate completion December 31, 2028); a $50 million single-award Blanket Purchase Agreement also with Forest Service Region 6 under the Land Management Integrated Resources (LMIR) National BPA, effective April 1, 2026 through March 6, 2033, funding wildland fire and natural resources services across the Pacific Northwest; and a $7.5 million single-award BPA with Forest Service Region 6 for prescribed burn support in Oregon and Washington, awarded May 24, 2022 and running through January 1, 2030.

Customer concentration is extreme and geographically focused. The top five funding agencies account for 89% of recent awards by count and 99% by potential value. The Department of Agriculture Forest Service Region 6 (Pacific Northwest Region) dominates the portfolio with 84 awards valued at $62 million combined potential value, followed at distance by Forest Service Washington Office Acquisitions at 14 awards and $50.7 million (largely anchored by the $50 million LMIR BPA), Forest Service Region 1 (Northern Region) at 62 awards and $2.8 million, and the National Interagency Fire Center at 37 awards and $2.6 million. All awards cluster within the Forest Service enterprise.

Recent activity has been volatile. Aldercreek received 17 awards in 2021, climbed to 26 in 2022 and 30 in 2023, then declined to 27 in 2024. Only two awards appear in 2026 year-to-date, though the May 2026 $584,417 BPA call and the newly awarded $50 million LMIR BPA represent material vehicle additions that will drive task-order volume forward. Combined obligated dollars stand at $9.4 million against $120.8 million in combined potential value, indicating a young vehicle portfolio with low utilization to date. No recompete cliff data appears in the source.

The vendor holds five named parent vehicles: a $50 million single-award BPA under LMIR (April 1, 2026), a $50 million single-award Pacific Northwest Stewardship BPA with Region 6 (April 7, 2023), a $7.5 million single-award R6 Prescribed Burn Support BPA (May 24, 2022), and two indefinite delivery contracts under the National Interagency Fire Center for fallers in the east and west zones, each valued at $250,000 (June 1 and June 9, 2023). Recent task-order activity concentrates under a $1.9 million IDC (35 task orders), a $914 thousand BPA (30 task orders), and a $820 thousand BPA (27 task orders), all with small individual order values typical of seasonal wildfire response.

All 256 awards are prime contracts; Aldercreek carries no subcontract footprint. The NAICS concentration is extreme — 255 of 256 awards fall under Support Activities for Forestry (NAICS 115310), with the PSC concentration equally narrow at 252 awards under Natural Resources/Conservation Forest-Range Fire Suppression/Presuppression. The vendor does not pursue set-aside-neutral work and has built a vertically integrated wildland fire services practice tightly coupled to Forest Service operational tempo.
