Everest Fire Authority LLC

Everest Fire Authority LLC, a self-certified small disadvantaged business based in Weatherford, Oklahoma, supplies fire suppression personnel and water handling equipment to federal wildland fire and emergency response operations exclusively as a prime contractor under total small business set-asides. The company operates as a sole proprietorship and competes entirely within set-aside vehicles, with no subcontract footprint and no participation in competitive full-and-open procurements.

Everest Fire Authority holds two indefinite-delivery contracts under the Virtual Incident Procurement (VIPR) system: a $500 thousand IDC with the National Interagency Fire Center (awarded February 6, 2026, running through May 30, 2030) and a $250 thousand IDC with the Forest Service Intermountain Region (awarded May 30, 2025, running through May 30, 2030). Both cover water handling resources and personnel for fire suppression, all-hazard incidents, and prescribed project work across East Zone Regions 1, 2, 4, and 9, with optional availability to the Department of the Interior, National Park Service, and Bureau of Indian Affairs. Representative recent delivery orders include a $160,026 order from Forest Service Region 2 (Rocky Mountain) issued August 16, 2026, for fire suppression personnel and water handling equipment performing in Laramie, Wyoming; a $117,800 order from Region 6 (Pacific Northwest) issued July 30, 2026, with performance in Roseburg, Oregon; and a $99,200 order from Region 4 (Intermountain) issued June 23, 2026, with performance in Monroe, Utah. The company also issued two purchase orders for engine-type fire services in Boise, Idaho in June 2025 ($86,700 for Turner Gulch Engine Type 6 services and $55,000 for Cottonwood Peak Engine Type 5 services).

Customer concentration aligns tightly with Forest Service regional operations. The top five customers account for 88% of awards by count and 91% by combined potential value, dominated by Forest Service Regions 2 (Rocky Mountain), 4 (Intermountain), and 9 (Eastern), plus the National Interagency Fire Center. The National Interagency Fire Center anchors the dollar ranking at $750 thousand in combined potential value across two IDC awards, while Regions 2 and 4 drive volume at four awards each. The eleven task orders under the National Interagency Fire Center IDC (1202SB25T7625) carry $805 thousand in combined potential value; the two task orders under the Forest Service Intermountain Region IDC (1202SB26T7238) carry $278 thousand. Activity has grown from seven awards in 2025 to ten in 2026, with seventeen prime awards totaling $2 million in combined potential value. Work concentrates entirely on Support Activities for Forestry (NAICS, all 17 awards) and Natural Resources/Conservation—Forest-Range Fire Suppression/Presuppression (PSC, 15 awards), with two awards for Fire Fighting Equipment.
