Fire Works LLC

Fire Works LLC, a woman-owned small disadvantaged business based in Elgin, Oregon, supplies pyrotechnic services, fireworks displays, firefighting equipment (including Type 3–6 engines and water tenders), and fire suppression support to the Department of Agriculture Forest Service as a prime contractor (100% of recent awards) under multiple indefinite delivery contracts designated as total small business set-asides. The company competes entirely in the full-and-open market against all vendors and holds recurrent small business set-aside positions on the Forest Service's Virtual Incident Procurement (VIPR) framework.

Fire Works operates as a limited liability partnership structured for public safety and wildland fire management work. Recent awards demonstrate specialization in community fire prevention education, visitor engagement, and incident response across western Forest Service regions. Representative prime work includes a $67,200 firm fixed-price delivery order from the Southwestern Region (completed June 2026) for fire-related services and equipment in Flagstaff; a $72,800 delivery order from the Intermountain Region (August 2025) for fire suppression equipment and pyrotechnic displays in Boise; and a $130,693.60 delivery order from the same region (August 2024) for fireworks and pyrotechnic services. The company also supplied Type 4 engines through four separate purchase orders totaling $162,300 to the Idaho Region in mid-2025.

Customer concentration is heavily weighted toward the Forest Service's Pacific Northwest Region (R6), which accounts for 47 awards carrying $2 million combined potential value — 89% coverage of recent awards by count and 48% of total potential value. The National Interagency Fire Center (the Forest Service's Fire and Aviation Management office) places the second-largest order volume with 12 awards valued at $1.2 million combined. The Department of the Interior's Bureau of Land Management Idaho Region rounds out the top three customers with four awards totaling $162 thousand. The top five customers by count and value metrics track closely, indicating consistent small-order business rather than a few large anchors.

Fire Works holds four active indefinite delivery contracts under the VIPR I-BPA framework, each valued up to $250,000 and designated as multiple-award, total small business set-asides. The primary vehicle — IDC 1202SB22T7782 — carries 31 task orders with $1.2 million combined potential value covering water handling, fireworks displays, and fire suppression equipment for Regions 3, 5, 6, and 10. A second contract under the Forest Service's traditional Blanket Purchase Agreement (AG04H1B167360) supports 21 task orders for $616 thousand. A third IDC (1204H119T7196) has generated 15 task orders totaling $540 thousand. Two additional IDCs awarded in mid-2025 each carry single delivery orders. All four IDCs are set aside for small businesses and were originally solicited as VIPR incident blanket purchase agreements to enable rapid procurement of critical services for all-hazard incident response.

Activity shows cyclicality aligned with fire season. From 2022 to 2024, Fire Works averaged 14 awards annually; 2025 dropped to 8 awards (year-end slowdown typical in this market). The most recent award is dated June 23, 2026. Across the recorded footprint, the company has fulfilled over $375,000 in cumulative delivery order work supporting Forest Service operations in California, Oregon, and Montana — a figure exceeding the combined potential value in the active award set, suggesting prior contract cycles have wound down. No subcontracting activity is present; Fire Works self-performs all work. The company operates at $2.7 million in obligations against $4.1 million in potential value (66% obligation rate), concentrated in firm fixed-price delivery orders with completion dates generally within 30 to 120 days of award — characteristic of incident-response and seasonal procurement velocity.
