Fire Control Resources LLC

Fire Control Resources LLC, a self-certified small disadvantaged business based in Spokane, Washington, manufactures and delivers wildland fire suppression equipment, personnel, and support services to the U.S. Forest Service and interagency partners as a prime contractor exclusively—all 53 recent awards are prime positions, with zero subcontract footprint. The company operates 100% in the forest fire suppression and resource-management space under NAICS 332439 (Support Activities for Forestry) and PSC codes for fire suppression and fire-fighting equipment, competing on full-and-open terms with no set-aside designations on individual task orders, though three of its five parent IDIQs carry total small business set-aside reserve.

Fire Control Resources LLC's capability portfolio centers on Type 4 and Type 6 wildland fire engines, water handling equipment, trained suppression personnel, and logistics support for seasonal and emergency fire response across the western United States. Representative work includes a $123,750 delivery order from Forest Service Region 4 (Intermountain) in August 2024 for fire control resources in McCall, Idaho; a $129,030 delivery order from Region 4 in August 2025 for fire suppression operations in Jackson, Wyoming; and a $81,830 delivery order from the same region in September 2024, all issued against regional IDIQs. The company also received a $29,026 purchase order from the Idaho Region in May 2026 for fire control resources, completion scheduled August 2026.

Customer concentration is heavily skewed to the Department of Agriculture Forest Service across regional and national channels. The top five customers account for 92% of awards by count and 95% by potential value. The Forest Service Region 4 (Intermountain Region) leads with 22 awards totaling $1.3 million in combined potential value, followed by Region 6 (Pacific Northwest Region) with 14 awards worth $665 thousand, and the National Interagency Fire Center (Fire and Aviation Management) with 9 awards carrying $1.7 million potential value. Region 1 (Northern Region) and Region 5 (Pacific Southwest Region) represent the remainder of the active federal customer base.

Fire Control Resources LLC holds five active parent IDIQs, all issued by the National Interagency Fire Center or regional Forest Service offices. The largest is Indefinite Delivery Contract 1202SB22T7281, a total small business set-aside IDIQ covering water handling for East Zone Regions 1, 2, 4, 8, and 9, from which 21 delivery orders have drawn $1.2 million combined potential value through May 2030. Two additional East Zone contracts (awarded February 2026 with $500 thousand ceiling and June 2025 with $250 thousand ceiling) extend through June 2030. A West Zone IDIQ (June 2023, total small business set-aside, $250 thousand ceiling) covering Regions 3, 5, 6, and 10 runs through June 2025. A Region 6 dedicated contract (August 2026, total small business set-aside, $250 thousand ceiling) extends through August 2030. These vehicles enable ordering through the Virtual Incident Procurement (VIPR) system by the Forest Service, National Park Service, Bureau of Indian Affairs, and other cooperators.

Award activity peaked in 2023 (12 awards) and 2022 (10 awards), then declined to 4 awards in 2024 and 5 in 2025, with 3 awards to date in 2026. No recompete cliff is apparent from the source; the newest IDIQ awards (February and August 2026) extend through 2030, providing multi-year ordering runway. Combined potential value across all 53 awards stands at $4.2 million, with $2.1 million obligated to date (49% execution rate). The vendor operates entirely as a regional equipment and personnel provider with no teaming relationships, subcontractors, or presence outside the western Forest Service regional structure.
