Drakeford Fire Management LLC

Drakeford Fire Management LLC, a minority-owned, Black American-owned limited liability company based in Boise, Idaho, supplies specialized wildland fire suppression equipment and personnel to federal agencies as a prime contractor across full-and-open and total small business set-aside awards. The vendor operates exclusively as a prime (100% of recent awards), with no subcontract footprint, and competes across fire management vehicles issued by the Department of Agriculture Forest Service and the Department of the Interior.

Drakeford's capability portfolio centers on the delivery and deployment of fire engines (Type 3, 4, 5, and 6 units), water tenders (Type 1, 2, and 3 support tenders and Type 1 and 2 tactical variants), cranes, and associated wildfire suppression personnel. Representative work includes a June 2025 purchase order from the USDA Forest Service Idaho Region for a $47,250 Type 4 fire engine and a companion $46,896 purchase order for a Type 6 engine, both with October 2025 completion; a September 2023 $46,844 delivery order from the Forest Service Pacific Northwest Region for fire management services in Lakeview, Oregon; and a September 2021 $32,850 delivery order under the OR-FWF-200406 multiple-award IDIQ for a Type 6 engine supporting Pacific Northwest wildfire operations. The vendor also holds three active Indefinite Delivery Contracts: a $250,000 small business set-aside IDC awarded February 2026 by the National Interagency Fire Center for water handling equipment and services through May 2030, a companion $250,000 IDC awarded May 2025 under the Virtual Incident Procurement system, and a $250,000 IDC awarded June 2022 covering Regions 3, 5, 6, and 10 (expired June 2025). Combined potential value across all awards stands at $1.8 million, with $362 thousand obligated to date.

Customer concentration is narrow and geographically aligned. The Department of Agriculture Forest Service accounts for 100% of recent awards split between the National Interagency Fire Center (7 awards, $1.1 million combined potential value) and the Pacific Northwest Region (7 awards, $585 thousand combined potential value), with the Department of the Interior Bureau of Land Management Idaho Region rounding out activity (3 awards, $110 thousand combined potential value). Activity has remained modest but recent — four awards in 2025 and one in early 2026 — with six task orders flowing through Indefinite Delivery Contract 1204H119T7382 and two through IDC 1202SB22T7755. Drakeford's NAICS and PSC footprint reflects specialization: sixteen of seventeen awards fall under Support Activities for Forestry (NAICS 115310), with the remaining award under transit and ground passenger transportation, and fourteen awards carry the Natural Resources/Conservation Forest-Range Fire Suppression/Presuppression PSC code.
