Firebrand Forestry LLC

Firebrand Forestry LLC, doing business as Firebrand, is a Montana-based small business that delivers wildland fire suppression, water handling, and forest health services to the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service as a prime contractor under total small business set-asides and full-and-open delivery orders. The vendor operates 100% as a prime contractor and competes predominantly under total small business set-aside vehicles on regional Forest Service IDIQs, with recent activity split between set-aside and unrestricted delivery orders.

Firebrand's capability portfolio centers on wildland fire management and suppression support. Recent representative work includes a $107,525 delivery order from Forest Service Region 1 (Northern Region) for fire suppression operations in Kalispell, Montana, awarded August 5, 2026; a $99,789.75 firm fixed-price delivery order from the same region for forest management and incident response support; and a $109,674.50 delivery order from Forest Service Region 6 (Pacific Northwest Region) for wildland fire and forest health services. The vendor's service scope includes water handling equipment and personnel, fire prevention and suppression support, specialized vehicle delivery for firefighting, and all-hazard incident response capabilities. Task orders under Firebrand's existing IDIQs have ranged from approximately $3,000 to $109,674.

Customer concentration is extremely narrow. The Department of Agriculture Forest Service accounts for 94% of awards across seven distinct organizational units, with the Fire and Aviation Management National Interagency Fire Center anchoring the largest dollar share at $1.4 million across seven awards, and the Northern Region contributing 11 awards valued at $619 thousand. The Pacific Northwest Region (6 awards, $294 thousand), national Forest Service programs (4 awards, $224 thousand), and the Southwestern Region (3 awards, $59 thousand) complete the active set.

Firebrand holds four prime Indefinite Delivery Contracts through the National Interagency Fire Center. The most recent award, February 6, 2026, carries a $500,000 ceiling and total small business set-aside designation covering water handling for East Zone Regions 1, 2, 4, and 9 through May 30, 2030. A prior-year $250,000 multiple-award contract covers the same zones through May 30, 2025. Two earlier IDIQs—one for $250,000 covering Western regions through August 3, 2023, and another for $250,000 covering Eastern and Northern regions through May 30, 2025—show a legacy platform structure. Against these vehicles, Firebrand places task orders ranging from $4,500 to $109,674.

Activity shows cyclical seasonality driven by fire season demand. Awards per year across the past five years read 8 (2022), 2 (2023), 8 (2024), 1 (2025), and 5 (2026 year-to-date), with 2023 representing the low point. Combined potential value across all 31 prime awards totals $2.7 million, with $1.2 million obligated. The vendor's classification sits entirely within NAICS 541900 (Support Activities for Forestry) and PSC Natural Resources/Conservation–Forest-Range Fire Suppression/Presuppression across all recent awards. Firebrand performs work across multiple Forest Service regions spanning Montana, Idaho, California, and Arizona, with administrative oversight and headquarters in Toston, Montana.
