Emergency Command Support Inc.

Emergency Command Support Inc., a self-certified small disadvantaged business based in Redding, California, supplies emergency response and wildland firefighting equipment—including mobile office trailers, utility terrain vehicles, generators, lighting systems, golf carts, and water/handwashing stations—to the federal government as a prime contractor, competing full-and-open with no set-aside designations across its purchase-order portfolio while holding multiple total-small-business-set-aside Indefinite Delivery Contracts with the National Interagency Fire Center.

The vendor operates exclusively in the wildland fire and emergency incident-response space, with 100% of its recent federal awards and all four customer agencies concentrated within the Department of Agriculture Forest Service. The National Interagency Fire Center dominates by dollar value, holding nine awards worth $9.4 million combined potential value, centered on a $7.5 million single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract for incident support multipurpose off-highway vehicles (ATVs and UTVs) running through December 31, 2026, and three smaller total-small-business-set-aside IDIQs ($500 thousand, $500 thousand, and $250 thousand ceilings) for incident base unit resources, potable and gray water trailers, and handwashing stations, all extending through 2028 or 2030 and limited to Region 5 (Pacific Southwest Region) operations. The Forest Service Pacific Southwest Region (Region 5) accounts for 25 awards worth $1.5 million combined potential value, primarily transactional purchase orders for individual pieces of equipment or services. A smaller footprint exists in Region 6 (Pacific Northwest Region) with three awards worth $92 thousand.

Activity has grown from five awards in 2021 and 2022 to ten in 2024 and eleven in 2025, with three awards placed in 2026 as of the snapshot date. The vendor has drawn down only $2 million against $11 million combined potential value across all awards—an 18% obligation rate—reflecting the preponderance of indefinite delivery vehicles and purchase orders awaiting task-order placement or execution. The $7.5 million off-highway-vehicle IDC and the three smaller incident-base-unit and water-trailer IDIQs represent the primary vehicle positions through which task orders flow, though individual purchase orders for equipment supply remain frequent. The vendor's NAICS footprint clusters in Support Activities for Forestry (19 awards), Other Commercial and Industrial Machinery and Equipment Rental and Leasing (7 awards), and Truck, Utility Trailer, and RV Rental and Leasing (6 awards), with PSC codes anchored in Natural Resources/Conservation—Forest-Range Fire Suppression/Presuppression (18 awards) and Lease or Rental of Equipment—Ground Effect Vehicles, Motor Vehicles, Trailers, and Cycles (8 awards). The vendor maintains no subcontracting footprint and competes solely as a prime; recent awards include a $244 thousand purchase order from Forest Service Region 5 for portable handwashing station services (awarded July 2024), a $311 thousand purchase order for mobile office trailers, generators, lighting, and handwashing stations (September 2024), and a $128 thousand purchase order from the National Interagency Fire Center for incident-response equipment (August 2024).
