Fireco, Inc.

Fireco, Inc., a self-certified small disadvantaged and woman-owned business headquartered in Boise, Idaho, delivers wildland fire equipment and support services to federal land management agencies as a prime contractor across a $75.8 million award portfolio. The company competes predominantly under total small business set-asides; 113 of 120 total awards fall under Support Activities for Forestry (NAICS 113), with 103 awards classified under Natural Resources/Conservation forest-range fire suppression and presuppression (PSC code), establishing a highly specialized posture in federal wildland fire management contracting.

Fireco's capability footprint centers on wildland fire engines (Types 1–6), water handling equipment, heavy equipment rental (dozers, excavators, masticators, graders), mastication and vegetation treatment services, prescribed fire crewing and support, transportation logistics, and incident response resources. Representative prime contracts illustrate the scope: a $7.5 million multiple-award indefinite-delivery contract awarded June 2026 by the National Interagency Fire Center for Type 2 firefighter crews under total small business set-aside; a $50 million Blanket Purchase Agreement with the U.S. Forest Service Pacific Northwest Region (Region 6) extending through October 2032 for wildland fire equipment and services across multiple regions; and a $526.5 thousand definitive contract awarded August 2024 by the Forest Service Pacific Southwest Region for prescribed fire engine support under the Inflation Reduction Act. Smaller but recurring delivery orders—typically $4,200 to $96,600 per task order—flow from multiple regional Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management indefinite-delivery contracts valued up to $250 thousand each.

Customer concentration centers on the U.S. Forest Service across regional and national programs. The top five customer entities account for 70% of award count and 96% of combined potential value, led by the Forest Service Region 6 Pacific Northwest Region (14 awards, $50.6 million potential value), the National Interagency Fire Center (22 awards, $11.7 million), and the Forest Service Rocky Mountain Research Station (15 awards, $8.2 million). The Region 4 Intermountain Region ranks third by count (23 awards) but carries only $1.1 million potential value, reflecting a high-volume, lower-value delivery-order pattern typical of IDIQ task-order pull-down work. The Bureau of Land Management Idaho Region and other interior regional offices round out the active portfolio.

Fireco holds position on multiple parent vehicles through the Forest Service and National Interagency Fire Center. The Pacific Northwest Stewardship BPA (AG04H1B167416) has generated 13 task orders worth $381 thousand; multiple Virtual Incident Procurement (VIPR) system–administered Incident Blanket Purchase Agreements across Forest Service regions (Regions 1–9) for water handling, heavy equipment, and prescribed fire support each carry $250 thousand ceilings and generate 9–14 task orders per vehicle. These vehicles—all total small business set-asides—represent the principal acquisition pathways for Fireco's field operations and enable rapid deployment during fire season and emergency incidents.

Activity has grown substantially year over year, from 12 awards in 2022 to 26 in 2024, before moderating to 20 awards in 2025 and 8 in the first half of 2026. Only 2 awards (combined potential value $1.1 million) reach ultimate completion in the next twenty-four months, indicating minimal near-term recompete exposure; the majority of the portfolio carries performance periods extending through 2027–2032, particularly the $50 million Pacific Northwest Region BPA and multiple Regional VIPR I-BPA vehicles. Real obligated dollars across the portfolio stand at $5 million, or 7% of potential value, reflecting the funding lag characteristic of indefinite-delivery vehicles and purchase-order work with delivery dates often tied to fire season urgency.

Fireco competes as a prime only; no subcontract footprint appears in the source. The company's strategic positioning reflects deep specialization in federal wildland fire management, near-exclusive focus on small business set-asides, and sustained presence across Forest Service and Interior Department regional fire operations in the western United States.
