Central Wildfire Inc.

Central Wildfire Inc., a for-profit limited liability company based in Bend, Oregon, provides wildland fire suppression equipment, personnel, and incident support services to the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service and related federal wildfire agencies as a prime contractor under total small business set-asides on multiple Indefinite Delivery Contracts and Incident Blanket Purchase Agreements. The vendor competes exclusively under small business set-asides across its federal footprint.

Central Wildfire's customer base concentrates heavily on USDA Forest Service wildfire operations. The Department of Agriculture Forest Service accounts for 64 of 76 awards (84% by count) covering 91% of combined potential value across the vendor's portfolio. Within that concentration, the Forest Service's R6 Pacific Northwest Region dominates with 41 awards and $1.8 million combined potential value, followed by the Fire and Aviation Management National Interagency Fire Center with 8 awards and $1.3 million, and the R4 Intermountain Region with 7 awards and $318 thousand. The Department of the Interior Bureau of Land Management Oregon-Washington places 5 smaller awards totaling $46 thousand. Capability work centers on water handling equipment, Type 4 and Type 6 fire engines, controlled burning, fuels reduction, personnel for wildland fire suppression, and prescribed project support across western regions. Representative orders include a $72.8 thousand delivery order (October 2024) from the Intermountain Region for fire suppression services, a $43.2 thousand delivery order (September 2024) from the same region for equipment and personnel support in the Boise area, and a $39 thousand purchase order (June 2025) from the Idaho Region for Type 4 engine support.

Central Wildfire holds five active Indefinite Delivery Contracts, all awarded under total small business set-asides by the National Interagency Fire Center with $250 thousand ceilings each and performance periods through 2030. The vendor's work flows through multiple Incident Blanket Purchase Agreement vehicles under the Virtual Incident Procurement system: BPA AG04H1B167199 carries 23 task orders totaling $605 thousand; BPA AG04H1B107156 carries 7 task orders totaling $594 thousand; and BPA AG04H1B137193 carries 8 task orders totaling $478 thousand. Awards per year have remained modest and consistent—ranging from 2 to 5 annually over the past five years—with combined obligated dollars at $2.4 million against a potential ceiling of $4.2 million. The vendor's portfolio concentrates in Support Activities for Forestry (71 of 76 awards) under PSC Natural Resources/Conservation—Forest-Range Fire Suppression/Presuppression, with smaller components in equipment rental and leasing. All work is performed as prime contractor with no subcontract footprint in the source data.
