Ember Fire Services LLC

Ember Fire Services LLC, a self-certified small disadvantaged, woman-owned limited liability company based in Show Low, Arizona, provides weed washing units and supporting equipment for wildland fire suppression and incident response to the U.S. Forest Service and interagency fire management customers exclusively as a prime contractor on Total Small Business set-aside vehicles.

Ember Fire's entire three-award footprint concentrates in forestry support services under primary NAICS 541713 (Support Activities for Forestry) and PSC Natural Resources/Conservation—Forest-Range Fire Suppression/Presuppression. The vendor holds two indefinite delivery contracts (both Incident Blanket Purchase Agreements structured through the Virtual Incident Procurement [VIPR] system) awarded by the National Interagency Fire Center in 2025 and 2026, each carrying a $250 thousand ceiling through May 2030 and serving the East Zone covering Forest Service Regions 1, 2, and 4. Under the first I-BPA awarded May 22, 2025, Ember Fire has received one delivery order issued August 5, 2025, from the Forest Service's Intermountain Region (Region 4) for $24 thousand, with an August 16, 2025 completion date. The second I-BPA, awarded February 6, 2026 through NIFC, carries identical terms and ceiling but had not yet generated task orders in the source snapshot. Both contracts require Ember Fire to furnish equipment, materials, supplies, transportation, lodging, trained personnel, and operational management for weed washing unit deployment on a firm fixed-price basis, with compensation structured around up to 16-hour daily shift operations. The I-BPA structure permits optional use by Department of Interior, National Park Service, and Bureau of Indian Affairs cooperators.

Customer concentration is total — 100% of awards fund Department of Agriculture Forest Service programs split between NIFC ($500 thousand combined potential value across two I-BPAs) and the Intermountain Region ($24 thousand). Activity is nascent; Ember Fire generated two awards in 2025 and one in 2026 for a combined potential value of $524 thousand, with only $24 thousand obligated to date.
