Cassians Fire Suppression LLC

Cassians Fire Suppression LLC, a self-certified small disadvantaged and service-disabled veteran-owned small business based in Plains, Montana, supplies fire suppression equipment, water handling resources, and trained personnel to the U.S. Forest Service as a prime contractor under total small business set-asides. The firm operates exclusively under set-aside vehicles and has not held a position on any government-wide acquisition contract or multi-agency IDIQ.

Cassians holds two indefinite-delivery contracts with the National Interagency Fire Center, both awarded under the Virtual Incident Procurement (VIPR) system and carrying total small business set-asides. The larger contract, awarded February 6, 2026, carries a $500,000 ceiling and procures water handling resources, equipment, materials, supplies, transportation, and trained personnel capable of supporting up to 16-hour daily shifts for fire suppression, all-hazard incidents, and prescribed project work across U.S. Forest Service East Zone Regions 1, 2, 4, and 9 through May 30, 2030. A second IDC awarded May 30, 2025, carries a $250,000 ceiling for the same scope and geography, also running through 2030. Both contracts contemplate Incident Blanket Purchase Agreements awarded through VIPR and optional use by Department of Interior, National Park Service, and Bureau of Indian Affairs cooperators. Recent delivery orders under the Forest Service region contract total $70,000 combined potential value — a $54,000 order issued August 26, 2026, for fire suppression support in Hamilton, Montana, and a $15,750 order issued August 16, 2026, for work in Dillon, Montana.

Cassians' customer base is entirely within the Department of Agriculture Forest Service, split between the National Interagency Fire Center (2 awards, $750,000 combined potential value) and Forest Service Region 1–Northern Region (2 awards, $70,000 combined potential value). The firm's footprint is nascent, with four total awards dating from May 2025 forward and only $70,000 obligated against $820,000 in combined potential ceiling value. All work falls under NAICS 332311 (Support Activities for Forestry) and PSC Natural Resources/Conservation–Forest-Range Fire Suppression/Presuppression.
