DC Fire LLC

DC Fire LLC, a self-certified small disadvantaged business and sole proprietorship based in Medford, Oregon, provides wildland fire management personnel, equipment, and specialized firefighting resources to the U.S. Forest Service and Department of Interior as a 100% prime contractor under total small business set-asides and competitive delivery orders. The company operates exclusively as a prime, holding no subcontract relationships.

DC Fire's customer base is dominated by the Department of Agriculture Forest Service across multiple regional and national organizational lines. The National Interagency Fire Center accounts for 15 awards worth $3.5 million in combined potential value — roughly 67% of DC Fire's total portfolio value. The Forest Service's Pacific Northwest Region (R6) and Pacific Southwest Region (R5) together account for 25 awards worth $1.4 million. The company also holds a minor presence with the Department of Interior's Bureau of Land Management Idaho Region (2 awards, $181 thousand). All five customer entities account for 98% of awards and 99% of combined potential value, reflecting extreme concentration in Forest Service wildfire suppression work.

DC Fire holds a substantial portfolio of VIPR (Virtual Incident Procurement) indefinite-delivery contracts through the National Interagency Fire Center, each with ceiling values ranging from $250,000 to $500,000 per vehicle and running through 2028–2031. The company has received multiple competitive VIPR awards for heavy equipment with water resources and mechanic services with service trucks covering Forest Service Regions 3 (Southwestern), 5 (Pacific Southwest), and 6 (Pacific Northwest). The most actively ordered vehicle is Indefinite Delivery Contract 1202SB22T7679, which has generated 12 task orders worth $617 thousand, followed by four additional IDIQs each carrying five to six delivery orders in the $190–$240 thousand range. Recent delivery orders under these vehicles have ranged from $10,275 to $108,662, sized as rapid-deployment incident response. Representative work includes an August 2026 $35,528 delivery order from the Forest Service for wildland fire management support in Fossil, Oregon; a July 2026 $60,130 delivery order from Forest Service Region 3 for suppression resources in Flagstaff, Arizona; and a September 2025 $83,528 delivery order from Region 5 for fire management support in Clovis, California.

Activity has grown modestly year over year from four awards in 2022 to nine in 2026, with 10 awards placed in 2025 representing the peak volume. Combined potential value across the 46-award footprint is $5.2 million, with $1.7 million obligated to date (33% realization). The awards span 42 placements under NAICS 561730 (Support Activities for Forestry) and four under NAICS 811111 (General Automotive Repair), reflecting DC Fire's dual capability in wildland crew deployment and equipment mechanic support. Place of performance spans Oregon, Washington, Northern California, and Arizona, with regional dispatch through Forest Service incident centers. The company's set-aside posture across the entire footprint is competitive small business—the majority of VIPR awards carry total small business set-aside designations, while a subset of recent delivery orders carry no set-aside designation, indicating DC Fire competes successfully in both protected and full-and-open categories under the same parent vehicles.
