Fireant LLC

Fireant LLC, an Arizona-based small business S corporation, operates exclusively as a prime contractor delivering wildland fire suppression services, firefighting equipment, water handling support, and incident response personnel to the U.S. Forest Service under total small business set-aside indefinite delivery contracts issued through the Virtual Incident Procurement (VIPR) system. All 138 federal awards in the source record are prime contracts; the vendor holds no subcontractor positions and receives no grant funding.

Fireant competes entirely under total small business set-asides on VIPR IDIQs. The underlying IDIQs carry set-aside designations, though many individual delivery orders issued under those vehicles are awarded on a non-set-aside basis as the vendor qualifies competitively. The vendor's footprint is concentrated in forest fire and incident response, with 137 of 138 awards classified under PSC Natural Resources/Conservation—Forest-Range Fire Suppression/Presuppression, and 129 awards mapped to NAICS 541710 (Support Activities for Forestry). Recent delivery orders demonstrate scope consistency: Type 3 and Type 6 fire engines, water handling equipment and personnel, pickup and stake-side vehicles with drivers, and general incident support services across firm-fixed-price task orders ranging from $3,705 to $205,200.

The customer base is heavily concentrated within the Forest Service. The top five customer entities account for 87 percent of awards: Forest Service Region 3 (Southwestern Region, 53 awards, $2.3 million combined potential value) leads by volume, followed by Region 5 (Pacific Southwest, 26 awards, $1.1 million), the National Interagency Fire Center (19 awards, $2.8 million), the generic Forest Service entity (12 awards, $616 thousand), and Region 8 (Southern Region, 10 awards, $370 thousand). The potential-value ranking tracks similarly, with the National Interagency Fire Center anchoring the largest share at $2.8 million across 19 awards, reflecting the vendor's position on multiple region-specific VIPR water-handling and vehicle-with-driver IDIQs.

Fireant holds seats on six primary VIPR indefinite delivery contracts issued by the National Interagency Fire Center: IDC 1202SB22T7786 for water handling in West Zone (Regions 3, 5, 6, and 10), with 47 task orders totaling $1.9 million potential value; IDC 12837119T7025 for water handling in East Zone (Regions 1, 2, 4, 8, and 9), with 28 task orders and $1.3 million potential value; IDC 1202SB25T7283 for vehicle-with-driver services in Regions 3 and 8, carrying 9 task orders and $782 thousand potential value; IDC 1202SB26T7141 for water handling in Regions 3 and 8, with 5 orders and $129 thousand; and an additional vehicle-with-driver IDC for Region 3 only. A sixth vehicle, Blanket Purchase Agreement AG8371B167045, accounts for 30 task orders and $717 thousand potential value. Collectively, these five parent vehicles cover 119 of 138 awards (86 percent of the footprint).

Activity has remained relatively stable year over year—23 awards in 2022, declining to 19 in 2023 and 2024, then to 7 in 2025 before recovering to 13 in 2026. Combined potential value across all 138 awards stands at $8.5 million, with $5.1 million (60 percent) obligated. The most recent award, issued September 17, 2026, was a $13,208 delivery order from Forest Service Region 8 for wildland fire suppression and water handling support in Hot Springs, Arkansas. Work is performed across nine western and southwestern states with concentration in Arizona, California, Colorado, New Mexico, and Oregon, reflecting the Forest Service's regional geography and Fireant's operational base in Amado, Arizona.
