Ecological Fire Solutions LLC

Ecological Fire Solutions LLC, a women-owned small business based in Morton, Washington, provides wildland fire suppression equipment, water handling services, and trained personnel for wildfire management and emergency response to the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service as a prime contractor, exclusively under total small business set-asides.

The vendor operates entirely as a prime contractor (100% of recent awards), with no subcontract footprint in the source data. Ecological Fire Solutions is a sole proprietorship and SBA-certified Women-Owned Small Business competing under WOSB and total small business set-aside designations. Recent work is concentrated in the Pacific Northwest Region (Region 6) of the Forest Service, covering Oregon and Washington. The company's capability portfolio centers on incident response equipment — fire engines (Type 3, 4, 5, and 6), support water tenders (Type 1, 2, and 3), and tactical water tenders (Type 1 and 2) — along with trained crews, materials, and transportation logistics for wildland fire suppression, prescribed burn support, and all-hazard emergency response. Representative awards include a $45,651 delivery order from Region 6 for ecological fire solutions work in Fossil, Oregon (July 2026), a $21,300 delivery order for Region 6 wildland fire management services in Wenatchee, Washington (October 2025), and a $42,887 delivery order for Region 6 fire management programs in Vancouver, Washington (August 2023).

Customer concentration is tightly consolidated within the Department of Agriculture Forest Service. The National Interagency Fire Center's Fire and Aviation Management office anchors the potential-value ranking with three awards valued at approximately $1 million combined, while Region 6 (Pacific Northwest) dominates by award count with eleven awards totaling $227 thousand combined potential value. The source identifies four distinct customer agencies within the Forest Service umbrella (Region 6, Fire and Aviation Management National Interagency Fire Center, national office, and Region 5 Pacific Southwest Region), though all fall under the Department of Agriculture.

Ecological Fire Solutions holds positions on two principal indefinite delivery contracts through the National Interagency Fire Center. An IDC awarded February 6, 2026, carries a $500 thousand ceiling with ultimate completion in May 2030 and covers water handling equipment, materials, transportation, and trained personnel for Region 6 emergency response; this contract generated eight task orders valued at $183 thousand combined. A second IDC awarded May 29, 2025, with a $250 thousand ceiling and May 2030 completion date, similarly covers water handling for Region 6; this vehicle produced four task orders valued at $90 thousand combined. Both are structured as firm fixed-price multiple-award vehicles designated as total small business set-asides. A third IDC, awarded June 2, 2022, with a $250 thousand ceiling expiring June 6, 2025, covered water handling across a four-region West Zone footprint (Regions 3, 5, 6, and 10) and generated multiple small delivery orders ranging from approximately $4 thousand to $42 thousand per order.

Activity over the source period is uneven. The vendor received one award in 2020, a spike of seven awards in 2022, two awards in 2023, and three awards each in 2025 and 2026. Combined potential value across all sixteen prime awards stands at $1.3 million, with $289 thousand obligated (22% of potential value). The award trajectory suggests seasonal or project-based ordering cycles typical of emergency-response contracting rather than sustained baseline growth. NAICS concentration aligns with the capability focus: fifteen of sixteen awards fall under Support Activities for Forestry, with one Environmental Consulting Services award. PSC coding tracks similarly, with fifteen awards under Natural Resources/Conservation Forest-Range Fire Suppression/Presuppression and one under Support—Professional services.
