Emergency Response Logistics, LLC

Emergency Response Logistics, LLC, based in Hammond, Louisiana, is a veteran-owned small business that provides emergency response logistics and ambulance services as a prime contractor to the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service across nine regions and the National Interagency Fire Center. The company holds SBA certifications as both a Veteran-Owned Small Business (VOSB) and Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB), with certifications expiring November 24, 2027, and competes predominantly on unrestricted (full-and-open) contract vehicles rather than set-asides, though some awards carry Total Small Business designations.

Emergency Response Logistics specializes in delivering time-sensitive emergency medical and logistics resources for wildfire suppression and federal land management operations. Its core service portfolio spans ambulance services (Advanced Life Support and Basic Life Support), rescue vehicles, paramedic support, mobile medical units, all-terrain vehicles, sanitation services, and comprehensive logistical coordination. Representative work includes a $530,101.87 purchase order from USDA Forest Service Region 6 for Medical Support Unit services at Moon Complex in Oregon (September 2025); a $256,300 purchase order from Region 6 for two ambulances to Springfield, Oregon (September 2023); a $205,200.42 delivery order from Region 6 for emergency response logistics in Medford, Oregon (September 2025); and a $197,647.57 purchase order from Region 2 for medical support services at Stoner Mesa in Colorado (August 2025). The vendor also performs satellite communication services for Forest Service operations and has delivered rescue vehicles and rapid-extraction modules to support wildland incidents.

Customer concentration is heavily weighted to the Forest Service's regional offices. The top five funding entities account for 69 percent of awards by count and 74 percent of combined potential value: USDA Forest Service Pacific Southwest Region leads with 59 awards valued at $4.3 million; Southwestern Region (21 awards, $3.3 million); Pacific Northwest Region (27 awards, $2.5 million); Intermountain Region (27 awards, $2.4 million); and Fire and Aviation Management National Interagency Fire Center (7 awards, $2.1 million). The vendor has also worked with Forest Service regions in the Northern, Eastern, and Southern regions, plus a small number of awards from the Department of Agriculture Idaho Region for emergency response logistics and medical support modules.

Emergency Response Logistics holds two primary parent vehicle positions, both Indefinite Delivery Contracts issued by the National Interagency Fire Center under the Virtual Incident Procurement (VIPR) system: IDC 12024B23T7060 (Advanced Life Support and Basic Life Support ambulance services, Region 13 National, $750,000 ceiling, award date February 6, 2026, completion June 12, 2028) with 70 task orders valued at $3.6 million, and IDC 12024B23T7109 (Emergency Medical Responder services, Region 13 National, $250,000 ceiling, award date June 27, 2023, completion June 27, 2028) with 69 task orders valued at $1.8 million. Both are set-aside for Total Small Business and carry firm fixed-price terms. A third IDC (June 12, 2023, $250,000 ceiling) also supports ALS/BLS ambulance services nationwide through June 2028. These vehicles enable rapid delivery-order placement across Forest Service regions during peak wildfire season and emergency incidents.

Activity has grown substantially year over year — 21 awards in 2022 to 74 in 2024 — then moderated to 58 in 2025 and 11 in the first six months of 2026 (the source is current through June 12, 2026). Combined potential value across all 234 prime awards totals $19.6 million, with $18.1 million (92 percent) obligated. The vendor carries no subcontract footprint; all work is performed as prime contractor through its Emergency Response Logistics Division. Award PSC distribution centers on Natural Resources/Conservation–Forest-Range Fire Suppression/Presuppression (202 awards), with secondary PSCs for Medical-Other and satellite communications services. NAICS concentration reflects Ambulance Services (153 awards) and Support Activities for Forestry (59 awards).

Emergency Response Logistics competes solely as a prime contractor without reliance on subcontractors and does not hold positions on federal contract vehicles outside the Forest Service VIPR system. Delivery orders under the two active IDCs range from $800 to over $160,000, representing typical emergency response logistics task orders issued during wildfire season. The vendor's regional footprint extends across western U.S. locations—Chadron, Nebraska; Medford, Oregon; Eureka, California; Durango, Colorado; Jackson, Wyoming; and Boise, Idaho—reflecting performance concentrated in fire-prone areas and national forests.
