Bullhide Fire Services, LLC

Bullhide Fire Services, LLC, a woman-owned, minority-owned, self-certified small disadvantaged business based in Florissant, Colorado, provides wildland fire suppression, mitigation, and prevention services to the Department of Agriculture's Forest Service as a prime contractor exclusively, operating 100% under small-business set-aside vehicles and Incident Blanket Purchase Agreements. The company delivers fire management capability directly — water handling equipment, trained firefighting personnel deployment, transportation and lodging logistics, and incident management support — without subcontracting, across geographically dispersed performance locations in the western United States including Colorado, New Mexico, California, and Idaho.

Bullhide's customer base is concentrated within a single federal agency. The Department of Agriculture's Forest Service accounts for 100% of the company's awards across multiple regional offices: the Fire and Aviation Management National Interagency Fire Center (5 awards, $1.8 million combined potential value), the Pacific Southwest Region (9 awards, $667 thousand), the Southwestern Region (11 awards, $606 thousand), the Rocky Mountain Region (3 awards, $257 thousand), and the Intermountain Region (2 awards, $145 thousand). This concentration reflects Bullhide's specialization in a narrow federal contracting niche and lack of diversification into other civilian or defense agencies.

Bullhide holds four active Indefinite Delivery Contracts with the National Interagency Fire Center under the Virtual Incident Procurement (VIPR) system, all small-business-set-aside multiple-award Incident Blanket Purchase Agreements: a $500,000 ceiling contract for water handling in Regions 3 and 8 (awarded February 2026, expiring May 2030), a $500,000 contract for East Zone Regions 1, 2, 4, and 9 (awarded February 2026, expiring May 2030), a $250,000 contract for East Zone Regions 1, 2, 4, and 9 (awarded May 2025, expiring May 2030), and a $250,000 contract for West Zone Regions 3, 5, 6, and 10 (awarded June 2022, expired May 2025). The dominant vehicle is IDC 1202SB22T7557, with 24 task orders valued at $1.5 million combined potential value. Representative delivery orders include a $72,659 order from Forest Service Region 3 in August 2026 for wildland fire suppression in Santa Fe, New Mexico; a $95,200 order from Region 2 in July 2026 for fire suppression and water handling in Durango, Colorado; and a $29,750 order from Region 3 in April 2026 for fire suppression and mitigation in Las Vegas, New Mexico.

Activity has been volatile, declining from a high of 12 awards in 2024 to 5 in 2025 and 5 through August 2026. The combined potential value across all 35 awards (all prime) is $3.7 million, with $1.9 million obligated (53% of potential). Bullhide has no subcontract footprint; it operates exclusively as a prime contractor on Forest Service Incident Blanket Purchase Agreements and related task orders, competing in the small-business-set-aside market under NAICS 115310 (Support Activities for Forestry) and PSC 32 (Natural Resources/Conservation-Forest-Range Fire Suppression/Presuppression). The company's entire competitive posture is built on firm fixed-price delivery orders flowing from small-business-reserved IDIQs; it does not pursue or hold positions on government-wide acquisition contracts, multiple-award schedules, or full-and-open competitive vehicles.
