Fortunate Amongst Mediocre Expectations LLC

Fortunate Amongst Mediocre Expectations LLC, operating its Fame Logistics division from Mojave, California, provides vehicle rental and logistics support services to the U.S. Forest Service and the National Interagency Fire Center as a prime contractor, competing entirely under total small business set-asides. The vendor is a minority-owned, black American-owned, self-certified small disadvantaged business structured as a limited liability partnership.

The vendor's customer footprint is concentrated with a single federal agency. The Department of Agriculture Forest Service accounts for 100% of recent awards across three sub-organizations: the National Interagency Fire Center (3 awards, $750 thousand combined potential value), the Forest Service R5-Pacific Southwest Region (4 awards, $75 thousand combined potential value), and Forest Service corporate (1 award, $6 thousand combined potential value). All eight recent prime awards in the source data fall under PSC Natural Resources/Conservation—Forest-Range Fire Suppression/Presuppression and NAICS All Other Transit and Ground Passenger Transportation, reflecting the vendor's specialized service line.

The vendor holds a multi-award position on the VIPR I-BPA (Vehicle with Integrated Planning and Response Indefinite-Delivery Blanket Purchase Agreement) for vehicle-with-driver services covering Regions 5 and 6 of the West Zone. Three separate IDV awards anchor the portfolio: a $250 thousand multiple-award IDC awarded by the National Interagency Fire Center on June 7, 2023 (performing through June 7, 2028); a $250 thousand multiple-award IDC awarded by the National Interagency Fire Center on February 6, 2026 (performing through June 7, 2028); and a $250 thousand multiple-award IDC awarded by the National Interagency Fire Center on August 18, 2026 (performing through August 18, 2031). Against these vehicles, the vendor has received five delivery orders totaling $81 thousand in combined obligated value, with individual orders ranging from $4,248.50 to $48,331.96 for emergency response and wildland fire suppression logistics support. Recent delivery orders include a $48,331.96 total small business set-aside order from Region 5-Pacific Southwest on August 12, 2026, and a $5,940.00 order from the Forest Service on January 9, 2025. Activity has accelerated modestly—one award in 2023 to three in 2026—and the vendor operates exclusively as a prime, with no subcontract footprint in the source data. Place of performance spans Regions 5 and 6 of the West Zone, with specific work centered in California locations including Solvang and the Mojave area.
