Emergency Response Fire Medical, LLC

Emergency Response Fire Medical, LLC, a self-certified small disadvantaged business based in Inman, South Carolina, deploys certified emergency medical technicians, advanced EMTs, and paramedics to support wildland fire suppression and all-hazards incident response across the U.S. Forest Service, operating exclusively as a prime contractor (100% of awards) under total small business set-asides on its parent vehicle and competitively on individual delivery orders.

Emergency Response Fire Medical is a sole proprietorship with no subcontractor footprint; it delivers personnel directly to incident areas and supplies specialized equipment including Medical Support Units and rescue vehicles valued from approximately $38,000 to $64,000 per unit. The vendor holds two parent IDIQs from the National Interagency Fire Center: a $250,000 multiple-award indefinite delivery contract awarded June 27, 2023 (set aside for total small businesses, running through June 27, 2028), and a $500,000 multiple-award indefinite delivery contract awarded February 6, 2026 (also set-aside for total small businesses, running through June 27, 2028). Individual delivery orders against these vehicles range from approximately $1,904 to $64,000, typically covering 16-hour daily shifts over one week to one month per deployment.

Customer concentration is acute: the Department of Agriculture Forest Service R8-Southern Region accounts for 46 of 70 awards (66% by count) and $903,000 of $2.3 million in combined potential value (39% by dollars). Five Forest Service regional offices (R8, R6, R4, R1, and R9) and the National Interagency Fire Center together represent 94% of awards and 92% of potential value. The top parent vehicle, IDC 12024B23T7108, carries 58 task orders valued at $1.1 million; the second vehicle, IDC 12024B26T7184, carries 5 task orders at $67,000. Work is classified under NAICS 621910 (Ambulance Services) for 65 of 70 awards, with four awards under All Other Miscellaneous Ambulatory Health Care Services and one under Equipment Rental and Leasing. PSC coding aligns to Natural Resources/Conservation—Forest-Range Fire Suppression/Presuppression (65 awards) and Medical services (4 awards).

Activity has accelerated sharply: from 10 awards in 2023 (the year the primary parent IDC was established) to 22 in 2024, declining to 15 in 2025, then recovering to 23 in 2026. Combined potential value across all awards stands at $2.3 million with $1.6 million (68%) obligated. Place of performance spans the Southern Region (Tallahassee, Asheville, Roanoke, Pineville), the Intermountain Region (Price, Durango, McCall), the Northern Region (Kamiah, Libby, Hamilton, and others), the Pacific Northwest (Lakeview, Prineville, Vancouver), and the Eastern Region (Duluth).
