Elk Park Fire LLC

Elk Park Fire LLC, a Basin, Montana-based woman-owned small business, provides wildland fire management and water handling services to the U.S. Forest Service as a prime contractor, operating exclusively through federal delivery orders against multiple-award indefinite-delivery contracts (IDCs) and virtual incident procurement (VIPR) blanket purchase agreements set aside for total small business.

Elk Park Fire competes entirely under the total small business set-aside, with 100 percent of its 31 awards in the source spanning June 2022 to August 2026 designated as either total small business set-asides or no-set-aside delivery orders issued against small-business-reserved parent contracts. The company holds three IDCs with the National Interagency Fire Center and USDA Forest Service: a $500,000 multiple-award IDC awarded February 6, 2026, running through May 30, 2030, for water handling services across East Zone Regions 1, 2, 4, and 9; a $250,000 multiple-award IDC awarded May 30, 2025, through June 1, 2027, for the same geographic scope; and a $250,000 multiple-award IDC awarded June 1, 2022, through May 30, 2025, covering Regions 1, 2, 4, 8, and 9. All three vehicles carry firm fixed-price pricing and are distributed through the Virtual Incident Procurement (VIPR) system as Incident Blanket Purchase Agreements. The source does not identify any subcontract work; Elk Park Fire operates as a pure prime contractor within the Forest Service ecosystem.

Elk Park Fire's customer base is singularly concentrated within the Department of Agriculture Forest Service and its regional divisions. The Northern Region (Region 1) accounts for 19 awards and $535,000 in combined potential value, anchoring nearly 61 percent of the award count. The Fire and Aviation Management National Interagency Fire Center carries the largest dollar share at $1 million combined potential value across three awards. The Intermountain Region (Region 4) and Pacific Northwest Region (Region 6) add $228,000 and $119,000 respectively. All 31 awards (97 percent coverage) flow through six Forest Service organizational entities. Activity has grown from one award in 2022 to nine in 2026, with 2024 marking the peak year at nine awards. Combined potential value across the portfolio stands at $2.1 million, with $1.1 million obligated (52 percent). Recent work includes a $57,200 delivery order issued August 24, 2026, for wildland fire management in Dillon, Montana; a $97,404 delivery order from Forest Service Region 9 (Eastern Region) on July 14, 2026, for water handling services across the East Zone; and a $107,800 delivery order from Region 4 on August 11, 2025, for water handling in Utah. The source characterizes Elk Park Fire's service scope as personnel deployment, equipment provision, and supervisory support for fire prevention, preparedness, and response operations, with capability to support 16-hour daily operational shifts and rapid mobilization across multiple dispatch locations determined by incident requirements.

NAICS and PSC coding is uniform: all 31 awards fall under Support Activities for Forestry (NAICS) and Natural Resources/Conservation — Forest-Range Fire Suppression/Presuppression (PSC). Elk Park Fire's entire federal footprint is routed through the three VIPR-managed IDCs, with 14 task orders against contract 1202SB22T7306, seven against 1202SB25T7641, and seven against 1202SB26T7253. The delivery-order magnitude and frequency pattern suggests a responsive, regionally positioned contractor tapped for emergency and seasonal wildfire operations rather than a long-term systems integrator; individual delivery orders range from $8,900 to $107,800 and frequently carry completion windows of one to three weeks, consistent with tactical fire suppression support deployed during active incident seasons.
