Noel Fire LLC

Noel Fire LLC, doing business as Emsr Trucking, supplies water handling equipment and personnel for wildland fire suppression and emergency incident response to the U.S. Forest Service as a HUBZone-certified small business prime contractor operating exclusively under total small business set-asides and full-and-open delivery orders.

Based in Oroville, Washington, Noel Fire LLC is a limited liability company and SBA-certified HUBZone firm competing entirely in the small business space. The vendor operates across NAICS 115310 (Support Activities for Forestry) and PSC Natural Resources/Conservation—Forest-Range Fire Suppression/Presuppression, delivering Engines Type 3–6, Support Water Tenders Type 1–3, and Tactical Water Tenders Type 1–2, along with transportation, materials, and trained personnel to meet federal emergency incident response specifications. Recent representative work includes a $26,000 delivery order from the Forest Service Region 6 (Pacific Northwest Region) awarded July 20, 2026, for water handling equipment and services in Baker City, Oregon; a $46,000 delivery order issued September 2, 2025, for similar equipment in Colville, Washington; and a $40,000 delivery order from Region 6 awarded September 26, 2025, for fire suppression equipment and personnel in Wenatchee, Washington.

Customer concentration is extreme and geographically narrow. The Department of Agriculture Forest Service Fire and Aviation Management National Interagency Fire Center (NIFC) accounts for $1 million in combined potential value across three awards (all Indefinite Delivery Contracts), while the Forest Service Region 6–Pacific Northwest Region carries 13 awards valued at $654 thousand combined potential value. The Department of the Interior Bureau of Land Management Idaho Region represents one $14 thousand award. NIFC's dollar lead reflects two large IDCs: one awarded February 6, 2026, valued at $500,000 through May 29, 2030 (total small business set-aside, multiple-award firm fixed-price IDC for water handling equipment across Regions 3, 5, 6, and 10), and another awarded May 29, 2025, valued at $250,000 through May 29, 2030 (similar scope and geography under Virtual Incident Procurement I-BPA framework). The Regional awards cluster in small-dollar delivery orders and purchase orders beneath these IDCs. Combined potential value across all seventeen awards is $1.7 million, with only $268 thousand obligated to date (16% burn).

Activity has accelerated recently—one award in 2022 to four in 2025 and two in 2026—but remains sparse in absolute volume. All work is performed as prime contractor; Noel Fire LLC carries no subcontractor relationships in the federal portfolio. The vendor's largest and most strategic positions sit on the two NIFC IDCs, which serve as parent vehicles for task orders placed by regional dispatch centers across the Pacific Northwest and Interior West through May 2030.
