First Strike Environmental Co

First Strike Environmental Co, an SBA-certified HUBZone small business structured as a Subchapter S corporation based in Roseburg, Oregon, delivers emergency spill response, hazardous waste management, underground storage tank decommissioning, wildland firefighting support, and environmental remediation services to federal agencies as a prime contractor across full-and-open and small-business-set-aside vehicles. The vendor competes predominantly in full-and-open procurement but benefits from its HUBZone certification across all work streams.

Customer concentration is extreme and agency-specific. The Department of Agriculture Forest Service Pacific Northwest Region (Region 6) dominates the footprint at 229 awards and $26.4 million combined potential value (59% of the addressable portfolio), with task orders issued under a $7.5 million Blanket Purchase Agreement for hazardous materials services awarded in June 2024 and running through June 2029. The U.S. Coast Guard anchors the potential-value ranking with 21 awards valued at $57.2 million, driven by a single-award Basic Ordering Agreement valued at $3.9 million through April 2026 for oil spill and hazardous chemical incident mitigation. Forest Service Fire and Aviation Management and the National Interagency Fire Center collectively account for 29 awards and $3.1 million, with multiple Indefinite Delivery Contracts valued at $250 thousand each for water handling equipment, vehicle-with-driver services, and potable/gray water truck deployment across Regions 5 and 6. The top five customers by either metric account for roughly 81% of awards and 98% of combined potential value, creating sharp concentration risk.

Work is nearly entirely prime (385 awards, 100% prime split) — no subcontract footprint is present in the source. The vendor holds multiple IDVs and blanket purchase agreements. Across the five largest parent vehicles by task-order volume, the Indefinite Delivery Contract 1202SB22T7790 (National Interagency Fire Center, water handling) carries 77 task orders and $3.8 million, followed by BPA AG04H1B167470 (Forest Service R6 hazmat, 43 task orders, $1.2 million), IDC 1204H119T7199 (vehicle with driver, 22 task orders, $1.2 million), BPA AG04H1B137049 (10 task orders, $694 thousand), and IDC AG04H1B179689 (9 task orders, $1.1 million). Representative awards include a $250.5 thousand Forest Service delivery order for environmental cleanup in May 2026 (under the $7.5 million hazmat BPA), a $50.6 thousand Coast Guard delivery order for oil spill response at Coos Bay in February 2026, and multiple $123 thousand Forest Service water-handling delivery orders in September 2025.

Activity has grown modestly — 30 awards in 2022 to 44 in 2024 — but has declined sharply in 2025 (9 awards) and 2026 (5 awards, calendar partial through mid-March). This cliff reflects the June 2024 and later award timing of major IDVs rather than a loss of traction; most recent delivery orders complete through May or June 2026 and 2029, positioning the vendor for substantial recompete exposure across hazmat services and water handling in 2026–2027.

The capability portfolio is narrow, deep, and regionally concentrated. NAICS coding shows 259 awards under Support Activities for Forestry (wildland fire and land management), 65 under Remediation Services, and small slices of transportation and site preparation work. PSC coding reflects 281 awards under Natural Resources/Conservation—Forest-Range Fire Suppression/Presuppression and 24 under Oil Spill Response. Work spans Oregon, Washington, and Alaska (Forest Service footprint) and nationwide NOAA and Coast Guard locations. Concrete deliverables include labor and materials for water sampling at Thorne Bay to verify water-quality mitigation (Coast Guard BPA call, March 2026), wildfire incident support including equipment rental (engines, water tenders, dump trucks) and crew deployment, hazardous materials removal and disposal, and environmental assessments. The vendor has delivered task orders valued as low as $2,525 and as high as $495 thousand, with most in the $40–$165 thousand range.

First Strike's footprint reflects a specialized, regionally anchored business model: it is not a national prime competing across diverse federal markets, but a Pacific Northwest environmental contractor with deep Forest Service and Coast Guard relationships, a HUBZone address enabling small-business-set-aside wins, and an IDV portfolio that generates steady delivery-order flow. Concentration on the Forest Service Region 6 BPA and the Coast Guard BOA creates recompete cliff risk if either vehicle is rebid or if task-order velocity slows. The vendor has been registered in SAM since 2002, indicating long-standing federal market presence, but recent award counts suggest a maturing, stable business rather than one in growth phase.
