Firequick Products, Inc.

Firequick Products, Inc., a woman-owned small business based in Inyokern, California, manufactures and supplies pyrotechnic devices, flare launchers, ignition systems, and fire management equipment to the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service and interagency fire operations as a prime contractor across 182 federal awards spanning fifteen years. The vendor operates exclusively as a prime contractor (100% of recent awards) and competes predominantly in full-and-open procurements without set-aside designations, though it qualifies as a small business and has received scattered Total Small Business set-aside awards.

Firequick's capability portfolio centers on mechanized and non-mechanized flares (Hotshot, Chubbie, Stubby, Big Shot variants), flare launchers (Launcher II and Launcher III systems), firing devices, cartridges, and associated pyrotechnic supplies for wildland fire suppression, prescribed burn operations, and fuels management. The vendor holds NAICS primary classifications under Support Activities for Forestry (84 awards) and Small Arms, Ordnance, and Ordnance Accessories Manufacturing (61 awards), with PSC codes spanning Fire Fighting Equipment, Launchers and Pyrotechnic, and Miscellaneous Fire Control Equipment. Representative work includes a $2.1 million delivery order from the National Interagency Fire Center in September 2025 for supply of multiple flares and ignition devices to National Incident Support Cache locations across the continental United States; a $1.2 million delivery order in June 2024 for National Interagency Cache pyrotechnics (mechanized and non-mechanized flares); and a $54.7 thousand definitive contract from the Forest Service in August 2023 for fire devices under Disaster Supplemental Funding.

The vendor's customer base is nearly monolithic. The Department of Agriculture Forest Service Fire and Aviation Management National Interagency Fire Center dominates by potential value, holding 11 awards worth $24.8 million combined (63% of the vendor's total portfolio), while regional Forest Service offices (R3 Southwestern, R5 Pacific Southwest, R6 Pacific Northwest, R2 Rocky Mountain, R1 Northern, R8 Southern, R9 Eastern) account for 112 awards worth $13.5 million. Together, Forest Service and its subordinate offices represent 123 of 182 awards (62% of award count) and approximately 97% of combined potential value. Secondary customers include the Department of the Interior Bureau of Indian Affairs and Bureau of Land Management (eight awards, sub-million combined value). This concentration creates significant customer-switching risk: Forest Service represents both the single largest ordering customer and the sole material customer base.

Firequick holds a $7.5 million single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract with the National Interagency Fire Center (IDIQ 1202SC25T2700), awarded May 12, 2025, with ultimate completion May 11, 2030, for mechanized and non-mechanized flares, launchers, firing devices, and cartridges for the National Incident Support Cache pyrotechnics supply program. A prior $7.5 million single-award IDIQ (1202SC21T2703) generated eight task orders worth $7.5 million combined and was referenced across historical awards through 2024. These are the vendor's only named parent vehicles; all other awards are discrete purchase orders or delivery orders. Place of performance for all work is Inyokern, California.

Activity has declined materially. The vendor averaged 10–15 awards annually from 2022 through 2024, then dropped to six awards in 2025 and only two as of August 2026. Combined potential value of $39.5 million across the full 182-award history reflects a mature, specialized supplier in a narrow federal niche. Total obligated dollars amount to $24.5 million (62% of potential value), indicating execution of most awards. The vendor has no identified subcontractors and operates no teaming relationships in the historical record; all awards name Firequick Products, Inc. as the sole prime.
