Flat Rock Contracting, LLC

Flat Rock Contracting, LLC, a small-business-set-aside prime contractor headquartered in Hamilton, Montana, supplies wildland firefighting equipment and incident-support services to the USDA Forest Service across multiple regions as a firm fixed-price vendor. The company operates exclusively as a prime (100% of awards) under total small business set-asides on the Forest Service's Virtual Incident Procurement (VIPR) system and holds multiple indefinite delivery contracts with the National Interagency Fire Center, with recent task orders ranging from $7,300 to $87,064 in ceiling value.

Flat Rock Contracting's capability portfolio centers on type 6 fire engines, water handling equipment (including potable and gray water trucks), faller services, and temporary incident-support functions for wildland fire suppression, fuels mitigation, and all-hazard emergency response. Representative awards include a $37,875 delivery order from the Forest Service Region 1 in August 2026 for water handling equipment under small business set-aside, a $46,987.50 delivery order from Region 1 in August 2026 for type 6 fire engines and temporary support functions, and a $80,712 delivery order from Region 2 (Rocky Mountain Region) in August 2025 for fire engines and water handling equipment, all issued under firm fixed-price VIPR indefinite delivery contracts. The company's primary NAICS classification is Support Activities for Forestry (all 51 awards), with PSC coding for forest-range fire suppression and presuppression services and fire-fighting equipment.

Customer concentration is heavily skewed toward the Forest Service's regional operations and the National Interagency Fire Center. The top five customers account for 96% of awards by count and 99% by potential value. The Forest Service Region 1 (Northern Region) leads by volume with 25 awards totaling $1 million in combined potential value, while the National Interagency Fire Center anchors the dollars with 14 awards carrying $3.4 million in combined potential value across multiple vehicle awards. Region 4 (Intermountain Region) adds 7 awards ($340 thousand), Region 9 (Eastern Region) contributes 2 awards ($46 thousand), and Region 2 (Rocky Mountain Region) carries 1 award ($81 thousand). The divergence between award-count ranking and potential-value ranking reflects Flat Rock's seat on the higher-ceiling National Interagency Fire Center indefinite delivery contracts, which anchor most of the total dollars despite fewer individual delivery orders against them.

Flat Rock Contracting holds multiple indefinite delivery vehicle positions awarded under total small business set-asides by the National Interagency Fire Center, with contract ceilings of $250,000 to $500,000 and performance periods extending through 2029 and 2030. The top parent vehicles by task-order count are IDC 1202SB22T7268 (15 task orders, $587 thousand combined potential value), IDC 12034319T7058 (5 task orders, $133 thousand), BPA AG0343B167063 (5 task orders, $143 thousand), IDC 1202SB24T7606 (4 task orders, $97 thousand), and IDC 1202SB21T7340 (2 task orders, $41 thousand). These vehicles cover water handling, faller services, and potable/gray water truck resources for East Zone Regions 1, 2, 4, and 9, enabling the Forest Service to place delivery orders on an as-needed basis for fire suppression and incident response across multiple regions. IDC ceilings range from $250,000 to $500,000, awarded February 2026 and May 2024 under competitive small business set-asides with performance through May 2029 to May 2030.

Activity has remained steady: five awards in 2022 ramped to eleven in 2024, moderated to five in 2025, and increased to eight in the first two months of 2026. Combined potential value across all 51 prime awards stands at $4.9 million, with $1.2 million obligated to date (24% execution rate), indicating substantial unfunded backlog across the indefinite delivery vehicles. No subcontractor footprint is present in the award record; Flat Rock Contracting operates entirely as a prime. The company competes across full-and-open and small-business-set-aside designations, with recent 2026 awards split between Total Small Business set-asides (three orders in August) and full-and-open delivery orders (one from August 2025). Place of performance spans Montana (Hamilton, Dillon), Idaho (Boise, Salmon), Minnesota (Duluth), and Colorado (Glenwood Springs), reflecting regional fire operations across the covered Forest Service regions.
