Central Valley Fire LLC

Central Valley Fire LLC, a small-business limited liability company based in Hailey, Idaho, operates as a prime contractor delivering wildland fire services—water tenders, prescribed fire support, fireline construction, fuel management, and emergency suppression response—exclusively to the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service across nine regional offices and fire management programs. The vendor competes under Total Small Business set-asides on its indefinite delivery contracts and holds no federal subcontracting footprint.

Central Valley Fire LLC's customer base concentrates heavily within the Forest Service's regional and national structures. The Department of Agriculture Forest Service accounts for 31 of 39 awards (79% coverage by count). Within that agency, the Forest Service Research Service Rocky Mountain Research Station anchors the dollars with three awards carrying combined potential value of $7.8 million—primarily the September 2025 $7.5 million prescribed fire and support IDIQ for Region 4 (Intermountain Region) running through September 2028. The Fire and Aviation Management National Interagency Fire Center places eight awards worth $1.2 million combined, dominated by water-handling IDIQs and task orders. Regional offices—R4 (Intermountain), R5 (Pacific Southwest), R1 (Northern), and R3 (Southwestern)—issue the remainder as delivery orders against those parent IDIQs. Together, the top five customer nodes represent 96% of combined potential value.

The vendor holds four active indefinite delivery contracts anchoring its prime footprint. The largest and most recent is the September 2025 $7.5 million Total Small Business multiple-award IDIQ for prescribed fire and support services across twelve Intermountain Region National Forests (Ashley, Boise, Bridger-Teton, Caribou-Targhee, Dixie, Fishlake, Humboldt-Toiyabe, Manti-La Sal, Payette, Salmon-Challis, Sawtooth, and Uinta Wasatch-Cache), running through September 2028 with performance in Ogden, Utah. Two VIPR I-BPA (Vendor Information Provisional Reliance Indefinite Buying Power Agreement) contracts for water handling services in the East Zone (Regions 1, 2, 4, 8, and 9) carry $250,000 each; one awarded May 2022 (expired May 2025) and a replacement awarded May 2025 (through May 2030). A February 2026 $500,000 multiple-award IDC from the National Interagency Fire Center covers water handling across East Zone Regions 1, 2, 4, and 9, also through May 2030, with task orders dispatched through the Virtual Incident Procurement system and regional dispatch centers. Against these IDIQs, Central Valley Fire LLC has drawn seventeen task orders under contract 1202SB22T7230 (combined potential value $679 thousand), seven under 1202SB25T7715 ($338 thousand), and seven under 1284M819T7059 ($281 thousand).

Representative delivery-order work includes a $93,240 Total Small Business order from Forest Service Region 2 (Rocky Mountain) in June 2026 for fire management in Pueblo, Colorado; a $71,760 order from Region 4 for wildland fire services in Venice, Utah (July 2025); a $74,113 order from Region 5 (Pacific Southwest) for water tenders and fire management in California (August 2024); and a $71,062 order from Region 4 for wildland fire services in Boise, Idaho (September 2023). Task-order ceiling values typically range from roughly $8,000 to $75,000, reflecting regional dispatch-based on-call demand for water tenders, crew modules (20-person, 10-person, and 5-person teams), and equipment support (engines, dozers, pumpercats, excavators, air curtain burners).

Activity trajectory shows growth from eight awards in 2022 to a peak of ten awards in 2025, with four awards in the incomplete 2026 calendar year. Only one award carries ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months (a $3,000 delivery order), creating minimal near-term recompete exposure; the larger $7.5 million and $500,000 IDIQs and the renewed $250,000 water-handling BPA all run through 2028 or 2030. Central Valley Fire LLC's footprint is concentrated entirely in NAICS 115310 (Support Activities for Forestry) and PSC Natural Resources/Conservation Forest-Range Fire Suppression/Presuppression work. Combined potential value across all thirty-nine prime awards stands at $10.1 million, with $1.4 million obligated to date (14% draw-down).
