BT Fire & Event Services LLC

BT Fire & Event Services LLC, a self-certified small disadvantaged business based in Carmen, Idaho, provides trailer-mounted potable water trucks, gray water trucks, and handwashing stations to the USDA Forest Service as a prime contractor, competing predominantly under total small business set-asides on regional delivery orders and holding two active Indefinite Delivery Contracts with the National Interagency Fire Center valued at up to $750,000 combined.

The company operates as a limited liability partnership specializing in equipment rental services for wildland firefighting, emergency response, and public events across western federal lands. BT Fire & Event Services is classified under NAICS 238990 (mobile construction) and PSC S206 (firefighting equipment rental), with all 45 awards in the source footprint falling under Support Activities for Forestry, and 42 of 45 awards carrying the Natural Resources/Conservation–Forest-Range Fire Suppression/Presuppression PSC code. All work is performed as prime contractor; the vendor has no subcontract footprint in the source data.

Customer concentration sits entirely within the USDA Forest Service regional structure. The top five customer organizations account for 91% of award count: the Forest Service Intermountain Region (Region 4) placed 15 awards valued at $505 thousand combined, the Northern Region (Region 1) placed 11 awards worth $231 thousand, the Fire and Aviation Management National Interagency Fire Center placed 5 awards totaling $1 million, the Research Service Rocky Mountain Research Station placed 5 awards worth $325 thousand, and the Rocky Mountain Region (Region 2) placed 5 awards worth $71 thousand. The Interagency Fire Center, though anchoring fewer orders by count, dominates potential-value concentration at $1 million, reflecting the higher ceiling values on its IDIQs. Regional variation in order size suggests seasonal or incident-driven demand fluctuation across forest regions.

BT Fire & Event Services holds two active Indefinite Delivery Contracts with the National Interagency Fire Center. The most recent, awarded February 6, 2026, carries a $500,000 ceiling and runs through May 22, 2029; an earlier contract, awarded May 22, 2024, carries a $250,000 ceiling with the same completion date. Both are multiple-award vehicles set aside for total small business and cover emergency support business regions 1, 2, and 4 spanning Montana, Idaho, Utah, Colorado, and adjacent western states. Against these parent vehicles, BT Fire & Event Services issued 13 task orders under the 2024 contract variant (IDIQ 1202SB24T7535, $297 thousand combined potential value) and 12 task orders under the 2021 contract (IDIQ 1202SB21T7326, $251 thousand combined potential value). Two additional regional IDIQs with Forest Service R1 and R4 carried 9 and 3 task orders respectively.

Recent activity shows flat enrollment: 2022 and 2024 each carried 7 awards, 2023 carried 5, 2025 carried 6, and 2026 to date carries 6. Combined potential value across all 45 awards stands at $2.3 million, with $857 thousand obligated (38% execution rate). Three delivery orders from August 2026 (totaling $79,317) reached completion dates within thirty days of award, indicating short-duration equipment mobilizations typical of seasonal fire suppression support. The oldest award in source data dates to February 2012, suggesting ten-plus years of Forest Service vendor relationship, though active delivery orders began clustering more densely in 2022 onward.

BT Fire & Event Services competes entirely under total small business set-asides on the regional delivery order contracts and under small business set-asides on the parent IDIQs. The vendor's service portfolio centers on on-call availability for up to 16-hour daily shifts, transportation of trailer-mounted infrastructure, and provisioning of certified personnel capable of rapid deployment to fire and incident locations. Place of performance spans multiple regions within the USDA Forest Service's East Zone footprint, reflecting the distributed nature of Forest Service operations across the northern Rockies and interior West.
