Fire Monkey Catering Services, Inc.

Fire Monkey Catering Services, Inc., a woman-owned small disadvantaged business based in Yreka, California, provides emergency incident logistical support, catering services, and refrigerated trailer rentals to the U.S. Forest Service as a prime contractor exclusively, competing predominantly under total small business set-asides on federal emergency wildfire and incident response contracts.

Fire Monkey is a for-profit Subchapter S corporation, self-certified as a small disadvantaged business and woman-owned small business, with primary work spanning specialized freight trucking (NAICS 493110) and caterer services (NAICS 722330). The firm's federal footprint is concentrated in Forest Service emergency incident response — 100% of awards derive from the Department of Agriculture, split between the Pacific Southwest Region (Region 5), the Pacific Northwest Region (Region 6), and the National Interagency Fire Center. Fire Monkey holds two indefinite delivery contracts authorizing refrigerated trailer deployment across eight Forest Service regions (Regions 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, and 9) through June 3, 2030: a $500,000 ceiling multiple-award IDC awarded by the National Interagency Fire Center on February 6, 2026, and a $250,000 ceiling multiple-award IDC awarded on June 3, 2025. These contracts explicitly authorize usage by the Department of the Interior, National Park Service, and Bureau of Indian Affairs. Task orders against the IDCs carry firm fixed-price rates based on up to 16-hour daily shifts priced at order issuance; vendors quote through the Virtual Incident Procurement (VIPR) system with evaluation on socioeconomic status and proximity to dispatch centers.

Recent delivery orders and purchase orders under these vehicles range from $5,995 to $32,205 and reflect single-incident or short-duration deployment: a $32,205 no-set-aside delivery order for Eureka, California performance awarded October 24, 2025; a $25,645 catering purchase order awarded September 29, 2025; a $21,815 delivery order for meals support awarded July 12, 2025; and a $14,320 total-small-business delivery order for Solvang, California completion dated August 12, 2026. Awards from the past four years show growth from one award in 2023 to eight in 2025, with two awards posted in 2026. Combined potential value across all fourteen awards totals $953 thousand, with combined dollars obligated at $203 thousand (21% of potential value), indicating heavy reliance on surge-capacity deployment during active fire seasons. Seven task orders valued at $112 thousand total have been placed against the primary indefinite delivery contract (12569R25T7445).

Fire Monkey operates exclusively as a prime and carries no subcontract exposure in the source data. Capability concentration is heavily weighted toward wildfire incident support — ten awards carry the natural resources and conservation forest-range fire suppression PSC code — with secondary catering and meal services for firefighter deployment. The vendor's entire customer base and contract vehicles route through Forest Service emergency response networks in the western United States, with no defense, civilian IT, or non-incident work evident in the award record.
