Cinder Ratz LLC

Cinder Ratz LLC, a minority-owned, self-certified small disadvantaged business based in Flagstaff, Arizona, supplies specialized emergency-response equipment — multipurpose off-highway vehicles, potable and gray water trucks, and trailer-mounted handwashing stations — to the Department of Agriculture Forest Service as a prime contractor exclusively under Total Small Business and small-business set-aside designations. The company operates 100% as a prime (13 awards; no subcontract work) and has delivered $112 thousand in obligated value across $8.4 million in combined potential value since April 2025.

Cinder Ratz's customer base is entirely consolidated within the Forest Service ecosystem. The National Interagency Fire Center accounts for 4 awards valued at $8.3 million in combined potential value, driven by three indefinite delivery contracts: a $7.5 million single-award IDC for incident-support multipurpose off-highway vehicles (period of performance through December 31, 2026) and two $250 thousand multiple-award IDCs for potable and gray water trucks and trailer-mounted handwashing stations serving Region 3's East Zone (periods of performance through May 9, 2029 and August 14, 2031). Delivery orders under the $7.5 million vehicle IDC include an August 16, 2025 award of $9,120 to Forest Service Region 3 for Phoenix, Arizona performance and an August 14, 2025 award of $13,305 to Forest Service Region 2 for Durango, Colorado. Regional offices across Forest Service regions (R4-Intermountain, R2-Rocky Mountain, and R3-Southwestern) issued nine firm fixed-price delivery orders in 2026 valued between $5,424 and $21,888, all under Total Small Business set-asides with ultimate completion dates between June and September 2026. The primary parent vehicle driving task-order activity is Indefinite Delivery Contract 1202RZ25T0099, which carries nine task orders and $112 thousand in combined obligated value.

The vendor's capability footprint centers on equipment rental and leasing under NAICS 238990 (Truck, Utility Trailer, and RV Rental and Leasing) and PSC Q250 (Equipment Lease or Rental — Ground Effect Vehicles, Motor Vehicles, Trailers, Cycles), with secondary support-activities-for-forestry work. Activity accelerated from four awards in 2025 to nine awards in 2026 (the past sixteen months). All awards carry firm fixed-price structures and are designated for Total Small Business set-asides or carry no set-aside language; Cinder Ratz does not compete on full-and-open vehicles. The company supplies vehicles and equipment on daily, weekly, and monthly rental rates within a nominal 450-mile operational radius of Flagstaff and provides associated materials, transportation, lodging, and certified personnel to meet specification requirements for wildland fire suppression, all-hazard incident response, and prescribed project work.
