Clearwater Fire Support LLC

Clearwater Fire Support LLC, a self-certified small disadvantaged business, operates as a prime contractor providing wildland fire management, emergency response support, and fire suppression equipment to the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service and the Department of the Interior across western states. The Caldwell, Idaho–based limited liability partnership competes exclusively on total small business set-asides through the Virtual Incident Procurement (VIPR) system and full-and-open delivery orders.

Clearwater Fire Support's capability portfolio centers on pickup, transport, and deployment of fire engines, water handling equipment, vehicles, and trained personnel for incident response and wildland fire suppression across California, Idaho, New Mexico, Utah, Wyoming, Florida, Alabama, and North Carolina. Recent concrete work includes a $77,600 total small business delivery order from USDA Forest Service Region 4 (Intermountain Region) on June 23, 2026, for fire engine deployment in Monroe, Utah, completing July 8, 2026; a $120,832 total small business delivery order from Forest Service Region 8 (Southern Region) on April 5, 2026, for water handling services in Asheville, North Carolina, completing April 26, 2026; and a $155,616 full-and-open delivery order from Forest Service Region 4 on July 13, 2025, for fire support services in Venice, Utah, completing August 13, 2025. The vendor also supplies finished equipment — in June 2025, it sold Type 4, Type 5, and Type 6 fire engines to Forest Service Idaho Region under nine purchase orders valued collectively at over $600,000 for delivery by October 31, 2025.

Customer concentration sits heavily with the Department of Agriculture Forest Service. The top five customer agencies account for 91 percent of recent awards by count and 95 percent by combined potential value. Forest Service Fire and Aviation Management's National Interagency Fire Center leads by potential value at $1.6 million across nine awards; Forest Service Region 4 (Intermountain Region) places 16 awards worth $1.1 million; and the Department of the Interior Bureau of Land Management Idaho Region accounts for 12 awards worth $698 thousand. Activity has grown substantially — from eight awards in 2022 to twenty in 2025 — with seven awards issued year-to-date through June 2026. Over the next twenty-four months, no recompete cliff details are provided in the source.

Clearwater Fire Support holds six prime indefinite delivery contracts under the Virtual Incident Procurement system through the National Interagency Fire Center, each valued at $250,000 and designated total small business set-asides, with performance periods extending through May 2030. Four of these IDCs target water handling services across regional zones: one for Regions 3 and 8 (awarded February 6, 2026, May 6, 2025); one for East Zone Regions 1, 2, 4, and 9 (awarded February 6, 2026, May 30, 2025); one for East Zone Regions 1, 2, 4, 8, and 9 (awarded May 31, 2022, expiring May 30, 2025); and one for Region 4 vehicle-with-driver services (awarded May 23, 2023, expired April 9, 2025). The vendor places task orders against these vehicles on firm fixed-price delivery order basis through regional Forest Service offices. Across four named IDCs, 34 task orders carry combined potential value of approximately $1.9 million. The vendor's 53 prime awards total $4.4 million in combined potential value, with $2.6 million obligated to date. All awards are prime contracts; no subcontract footprint is present in the source. The vendor competes entirely under set-aside or full-and-open procurement; no private-sector teaming relationships appear in the award record.
