Fine Suzanne

Fine Suzanne, doing business as Bhumble Soils, is a woman-owned sole proprietorship based in Madras, Oregon, that supplies water handling equipment, water tenders, and personnel services for wildland fire suppression and all-hazard incident response exclusively as a prime contractor (100% of recent awards) under total small business set-asides on core indefinite delivery contracts with the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service.

The vendor operates in a highly specialized and narrowly focused capability domain. Fine Suzanne provides Type 1, 2, and 3 support water tenders; Type 3, 4, 5, and 6 fire engines; and associated water handling materials, transportation, and personnel services supporting incident response across the western United States with operational concentration in the Pacific Northwest region. Representative work includes a $20,625 firm fixed-price delivery order from USDA Forest Service Region 6 (Pacific Northwest Region) on August 12, 2026, under a total small business set-aside; a $50,933.80 delivery order for water handling services and water tenders issued by Region 6 on July 26, 2024; and a $48,600 delivery order for water handling services completed over a one-month period in Oregon awarded August 13, 2023. The vendor also executes purchase orders with the Department of the Interior Bureau of Land Management Idaho Region, including a $16,800 order for Type 3 water tender support (June 1, 2025) and a $18,122.50 order for Type 2 tender water support (June 1, 2025), both performing in Boise, Idaho.

Customer concentration is extreme and monolithic. The Department of Agriculture Forest Service R6-Pacific Northwest Region accounts for 107 of 131 total awards ($1.8 million combined potential value, roughly 60% of total portfolio dollars), with the Department of Agriculture Forest Service Fire and Aviation Management National Interagency Fire Center placing 9 awards worth $1.1 million, and the Department of the Interior Bureau of Land Management Idaho Region placing 9 awards worth $118 thousand. All four funding agencies listed represent less than one percent of federal civilian contracting by dollar volume, and Fine Suzanne's federal footprint is entirely confined to these four customers.

Fine Suzanne holds three primary indefinite delivery contracts. The largest is an IDC issued by the National Interagency Fire Center on February 6, 2026, for $500,000 under a total small business set-aside, running through May 29, 2030, for water handling equipment and personnel services across USDA Forest Service Region 6. Two additional IDCs support the same mission: a $250,000 IDC awarded by USDA Forest Service Region 6 on May 29, 2025, also running through May 29, 2030, and a $250,000 IDC awarded June 3, 2022, for West Zone (Regions 3, 5, 6, and 10) fire suppression services running through June 6, 2025. Task order activity flows through these vehicles; the top five parent vehicles generate 105 task orders collectively, with the largest being an indefinite delivery contract (1202SB22T7834) supporting 36 task orders valued at $557 thousand combined.

Award activity has grown consistently. Fine Suzanne received 10 awards in 2022, 8 in 2023, 15 in 2024, 20 in 2025, and 22 in the first eight months of 2026. Combined potential value across the entire 131-award footprint stands at $3 million, with $1.5 million obligated to date (49% realization). The vendor operates with no subcontract footprint — all work is performed directly by Fine Suzanne personnel with no named subs. NAICS concentration is extreme: 130 of 131 awards fall under Support Activities for Forestry; PSC coding aligns with natural resources and fire suppression, with 122 awards under forest-range fire suppression/presuppression and 9 under fire fighting equipment. The entire federal footprint reflects a specialist vendor locked into a single, highly seasonal mission with three named customer agencies and a narrow geographic scope, competing almost exclusively under total small business set-asides on indefinite delivery contracts issued by the same regional Forest Service procurement office.
