Fuego, LLC

Fuego, LLC, a woman-owned small business based in Silver City, New Mexico, operates as a prime contractor delivering wildland fire suppression, prevention, and heavy equipment support exclusively to the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service across multiple regions and the National Interagency Fire Center. The vendor competes predominantly under total small business set-asides, holding SBA women-owned small business and self-certified small disadvantaged business designations.

Fuego's entire footprint is concentrated in wildland fire management and heavy equipment deployment across the Southwestern United States. The vendor specializes in Type 2 dozers, feller bunchers, mulchers, road graders, and skidders for fire suppression, all-hazard incident response, and prescribed project work. Representative delivery orders include a $193,264 order from Forest Service Region 2 (Rocky Mountain) issued July 3, 2026, for heavy equipment support in Delta, Colorado; a $77,208 order from Forest Service Region 3 (Southwestern) issued August 19, 2026, for wildland fire management in Santa Fe, New Mexico; and a $76,124 order from Forest Service Region 5 (Pacific Southwest) issued May 30, 2024, for wildfire preparedness and suppression support in New Mexico and Arizona.

Customer concentration sits entirely within the Department of Agriculture. The top customer by award count is Forest Service Region 3 (Southwestern Region), representing 21 awards with $905 thousand combined potential value. The National Interagency Fire Center dominates dollar value, anchoring five awards (three indefinite delivery contracts and two task orders) worth $1.5 million combined potential value. Forest Service Region 2 (Rocky Mountain) contributes two awards worth $209 thousand, and Region 5 (Pacific Southwest) one award worth $76 thousand. The vendor has worked with five distinct Forest Service offices or regional subdivisions across the USDA.

Fuego holds four indefinite delivery contracts, all total small business set-asides issued by the National Interagency Fire Center: two contracts awarded February 6, 2026, each with $500,000 ceilings and completion dates extending to April 2029 and May 2028 respectively, covering Regions 3 and 8 East Zone; one contract awarded April 22, 2024, with a $250,000 ceiling expiring April 2029; and one contract awarded May 1, 2023, with a $250,000 ceiling expiring May 2028. These four vehicles support 27 of the vendor's 32 awards. Fuego also performs against regional Forest Service multiple-award contract vehicles including NM-SNF-000049, NM-GNF-000185, AZ-COF-000159, and others, issuing firm fixed-price delivery orders typically in the $3,000 to $48,000 range for immediate fire response and equipment deployment needs.

Activity has fluctuated over the past five years — seven awards in 2022, seven in 2023, three in 2024, five in 2025, and eight in 2026. Combined potential value across all awards is $2.8 million, with $1 million obligated (37% of total). The vendor operates exclusively as a prime contractor; no subcontract activity appears in the source. All 32 awards fall under NAICS 238990 (Support Activities for Forestry) and PSC R499 (Natural Resources/Conservation—Forest-Range Fire Suppression/Presuppression), reflecting complete vertical alignment with the federal wildland fire suppression mission.
