Diamond Back Forestry LLC

Diamond Back Forestry LLC, a minority-owned, small disadvantaged business based in Yakima, Washington, provides forest fire suppression equipment and wildland firefighting services to the Department of Agriculture Forest Service as a prime contractor under total small business set-asides, with all five recent awards concentrated in USDA fire and forestry operations.

Diamond Back Forestry is structured as a limited liability partnership and holds Hispanic American ownership and DOT Certified DBE status. The vendor competes exclusively under set-asides — all five awards carry total small business set-aside designations. Four of the five awards cluster in forest fire suppression and presuppression support (PSC: Natural Resources/Conservation—Forest-Range Fire Suppression/Presuppression), with the fifth in residential building repair. Work geography spans the Pacific Northwest Region (Region 6), with primary performance locations in Washington and Oregon.

The vendor's customer footprint is entirely within the Department of Agriculture Forest Service, split among three organizational units. The National Interagency Fire Center accounts for two awards and $750 thousand in combined potential value, anchored by two indefinite-delivery contracts (one a $500 thousand multiple-award IDC awarded February 6, 2026, the other a $250 thousand multiple-award IDC awarded August 11, 2025) for water handling equipment and dispatch through August 11, 2030. Both contracts, structured under the Virtual Incident Procurement (VIPR) system, require Diamond Back to supply Engines Types 3–6, Support Water Tenders Types 1–3, and Tactical Water Tenders Types 1–2, operating on firm fixed-price rates based on up to 16-hour daily shifts. The Forest Service R6–Pacific Northwest Region issued two delivery orders totaling $148 thousand (one a $60,900 call from July 2026, the other an $87 thousand call from September 2025). The Forest Service Job Corps awarded a $176,868 definitive contract on July 27, 2026, for Fort Simcoe Duplex rehabilitation, scheduled for completion by November 24, 2026 — the vendor's only recompete exposure in the next twenty-four months.

Activity has grown from two awards in 2025 to three in 2026. Combined potential value across all five awards stands at $1.1 million, with $325 thousand obligated to date (30% of potential). The vendor operates as a pure prime contractor (100% prime, 0% sub) with no subcontractor relationships named in the source.
