Colorado Wildland Fire Service

Colorado Wildland Fire Service, a for-profit partnership based in Pueblo, Colorado, operates exclusively as a prime contractor under total small business set-asides, delivering wildland fire suppression, prevention, and emergency response services to the U.S. Forest Service and related federal agencies. The vendor holds a 100% prime posture with no subcontract footprint across its award portfolio and competes predominantly under small business set-asides on firm fixed price delivery orders.

Colorado Wildland Fire Service's customer base concentrates entirely within the Department of Agriculture Forest Service. The top five funding sub-offices account for 89% of recent awards by count and 96% by potential value, with the National Interagency Fire Center anchoring $1 million in combined potential value across four IDIQ awards and the Rocky Mountain Region (R2) representing the largest operational load at 19 awards worth $661 thousand. The Pacific Northwest Region (R6) and Southern Region (R8) round out the active set. Activity has declined — four awards in 2022 and 2023, two in 2024, and three each in 2025 and 2026 — with no recompete cliff visible in the next twenty-four months, suggesting delivery order work under existing indefinite delivery vehicles rather than standalone renewals.

Colorado Wildland Fire Service's core capability is the provision of water handling equipment, fire engines, incident management personnel, and logistics support for rapid deployment to wildfire suppression and all-hazard response across Forest Service Regions 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, and 9. Representative work includes a $49.5 thousand firm fixed price delivery order under the Virtual Incident Procurement (VIPR) I-BPA for Water Handling issued by the Rocky Mountain Region in August 2025 for operations in Laramie, Wyoming; a $36 thousand delivery order from the same region in October 2024 for wildland fire services in Sheridan, Wyoming; and a $53.3 thousand delivery order from the Forest Service in September 2022 for fire prevention and response services in Redding, California. The vendor's NAICS profile is dominated by Support Activities for Forestry (36 awards) with primary PSC coding in Natural Resources/Conservation Forest-Range Fire Suppression/Presuppression (25 awards) and Fire Fighting Equipment (10 awards).

Colorado Wildland Fire Service holds three active indefinite delivery contracts under the National Interagency Fire Center. The largest is a $500 thousand multiple-award IDC awarded February 6, 2026, for water handling services across East Zone Regions 1, 2, 4, and 9, extending through May 30, 2030, with ten task orders already issued under a prior $250 thousand vehicle (May 30, 2025 expiration) that produced $227 thousand in combined potential value across eight delivery orders. A second $250 thousand IDC, also set aside for small businesses and expired May 30, 2025, generated $102 thousand in combined potential value across four delivery orders. The vendor also holds positions on two Forest Service Blanket Purchase Agreements — AG82X9B167017 with ten task orders worth $257 thousand and AG82X9B107009 with three task orders worth $43 thousand. Delivery order values typically range from $9.6 thousand to $53.3 thousand, with combined obligated dollars of $699 thousand against $1.9 million in combined potential value across all awards.
