Fire Response Group LLC

Fire Response Group LLC, a Hispanic American minority-owned and self-certified small disadvantaged business based in Cape Coral, Florida, operates as a limited liability partnership providing water handling and fire suppression equipment services to federal wildland fire and emergency response agencies exclusively as a prime contractor. The vendor competes under Total Small Business set-asides across its footprint.

Fire Response Group holds two indefinite-delivery contracts with the Department of Agriculture Forest Service through the National Interagency Fire Center for water handling services across Regions 3 and 8 (USDA Forest Service, NIFC), with a combined $750 thousand ceiling. The first IDC, awarded May 6, 2025, carries a $250 thousand ceiling and runs through May 6, 2030 under the Virtual Incident Procurement Incident Blanket Purchase Agreement framework for water handling equipment, personnel, transportation, and logistical support. The second IDC, awarded February 6, 2026, raises the combined capacity to $500 thousand and permits optional use by the Department of Interior, National Park Service, and Bureau of Indian Affairs. Both vehicles are firm fixed price, multiple-award, and designated for rapid wildland fire suppression and all-hazard incident response, with vendor selection prioritizing geographic proximity to dispatch centers and emergency response timelines. The vendor's service scope includes support for up to 16-hour daily operational shifts. Recent task orders against these IDCs include delivery orders placed by GSA and the Department of Veterans Affairs against the Forest Service Regional contracting authority in April 2026 ($67 thousand GSA, $13.7 thousand VA), a delivery order from the Department of Interior Pacific Southwest Region in September 2025 ($46.8 thousand), and a purchase order from the Department of Interior Idaho Region in June 2025 ($34 thousand) for engine supply.

The customer base is concentrated within USDA Forest Service Fire and Aviation Management and subordinate regional offices, which account for 100% of the vendor's six awards and all $912 thousand in combined potential value. Activity is distributed evenly across the past two years, with three awards in 2025 and three in 2026. Fire Response Group operates exclusively as a prime and carries no subcontract footprint. The vendor's work is categorized under NAICS Support Activities for Forestry, with five of six awards coded to the PSC for forest-range fire suppression and presuppression.
