Dry Lightning Wildland Firefighters LLC

Dry Lightning Wildland Firefighters LLC is a for-profit limited liability company registered in Edgemont, South Dakota, specializing in wildland fire suppression equipment and personnel services. The company is a self-certified small disadvantaged business that provides critical water handling and emergency response capabilities to federal agencies, with a primary focus on supporting wildfire suppression efforts across multiple U.S. Forest Service regions. Strategically positioned to deliver specialized services in emergency incident management, the company offers comprehensive water handling equipment, trained personnel, and support resources for complex fire and all-hazard incident scenarios.

The company has been awarded multiple federal contract delivery orders primarily through the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Forest Service, with contracts ranging from $52,000 to $64,000. These delivery orders specifically target wildland fire suppression equipment and personnel services across different Forest Service regions, including Region 2 (Rocky Mountain), Region 5 (Pacific Southwest), and other East Zone regions. The contracts are not set aside and are firm fixed-price delivery orders, demonstrating the company's ability to provide standardized services across various geographic areas. Dry Lightning Wildland Firefighters LLC has proven capabilities in supplying water handling equipment, transportation resources, and trained personnel for emergency response and prescribed fire activities.

Dry Lightning Wildland Firefighters LLC holds two significant Indefinite Delivery Contracts (IDCs) through the USDA Forest Service's Virtual Incident Procurement (VIPR) system, each with a $250,000 ceiling value. These multiple-award contracts are set aside for small businesses and cover water handling services across East Zone regions, specifically Regions 1, 2, 4, 8, and 9. The IDCs allow the Forest Service and potentially other federal agencies like the Department of Interior, National Park Service, and Bureau of Indian Affairs to issue task orders for equipment, materials, supplies, transportation, and trained personnel as needed. The contracts have performance periods extending through May 30, 2025/2030, providing a flexible procurement mechanism for emergency response and incident management services.
