Chewack Wildfire, Inc.

Chewack Wildfire, Inc., doing business as Todd W Graves, a veteran-owned small business based in Spokane, Washington, provides wildfire suppression equipment, water handling services, and operational support to the U.S. Forest Service as a prime contractor under total small business set-asides and full-and-open delivery orders, with 100% prime work across 124 recent federal awards totaling $8.7 million in combined potential value.

The company is a for-profit Subchapter S corporation structured as a corporate entity. Its federal footprint is entirely concentrated in wildland fire management, with core capabilities centered on provision of specialized wildfire suppression engines (Type 3, 4, 5, and 6), water tenders (Support Water Tenders Type 1, 2, and 3; Tactical Water Tenders Type 1 and 2), transportation, personnel, and logistical support for emergency incident response and prescribed project work. Representative work includes a $70,976 delivery order from the U.S. Forest Service Pacific Northwest Region (awarded August 7, 2026) for wildfire management operations at Wenatchee, Washington; a $53,991 order (August 16, 2026) for water handling and operational support; and a $46,240 delivery order (September 30, 2025) for wildfire management services under a $250,000 National Interagency Fire Center indefinite-delivery contract.

Customer concentration is pronounced. The Department of Agriculture Forest Service Region 6 (Pacific Northwest Region) accounts for 73 awards and $4.8 million in combined potential value — 96% of award count coverage. The National Interagency Fire Center (administering Forest Service contracts) holds 22 awards worth $3 million. The Department of the Interior Bureau of Land Management Idaho Region and Oregon-Washington offices round out the active set with 20 awards totaling $530 thousand. The two rankings track closely, with no material tension between volume and dollar concentration.

Chewack Wildfire holds five active indefinite-delivery vehicles through the National Interagency Fire Center: two water-handling IDCs awarded February 6, 2026, one for Region 6 Pacific Northwest (ceiling $500,000, through May 29, 2030) and one for Regions 3 and 8 (ceiling $250,000, through May 6, 2030); two additional water-handling vehicles awarded May 6–29, 2025, for the same regional split (ceilings $250,000 each, through May 6, 2030); and a predecessor $250,000 water-handling IDC awarded June 2, 2022, expired June 6, 2025. All five are total small business set-asides and multiple award. Beyond the IDCs, Chewack places the majority of its delivery orders against Forest Service Pacific Northwest Region blanket purchase agreements and indefinite-delivery contracts: BPA AG04H1B167201 (24 task orders, $1 million combined value), IDC 1204H119T7162 (20 task orders, $1.2 million), IDC 1202SB22T7640 (22 task orders, $843 thousand), and BPA AG04H1B137253 (8 task orders, $829 thousand).

Activity has been episodic rather than steady. Awards per year ran 18 in 2022, dropped to 4 in 2023 and 2 in 2024, then recovered to 11 in 2025 and 8 in 2026. The most recent award dates to August 24, 2026. The portfolio carries relatively modest dollar exposure in the near-term recompete window — orders are typically issued on 30-to-60-day cycles during fire season, with ultimate completion dates clustering in late August and September. Chewack Wildfire has no subcontractor footprint in the source data and does not appear on any GSA Schedules, GWACs, or agency-wide vehicles beyond the Forest Service's regional IDIQs and BPAs.

The company's posture is exclusively set-aside: total small business designations dominate the parent vehicle structure, and recent 2026 delivery orders show split designation (total small business set-aside on IDCs; no set-aside used on delivery orders placed against the established BPAs). NAICS concentration is sharp — 108 of 124 awards fall under Support Activities for Forestry (NAICS 115310), with secondary rental categories capturing the remainder. PSC concentration is equally tight: 103 awards under Natural Resources/Conservation — Forest-Range Fire Suppression/Presuppression (PSC H208), with 13 under equipment rental (R425).
