KL Farms Fire LLC

KL Farms Fire LLC, a woman-owned small business based in Elgin, Oregon, provides wildland fire management services and equipment to the federal government exclusively as a prime contractor, competing predominantly under total small business set-asides on indefinite delivery contracts and delivery orders with the U.S. Forest Service and National Interagency Fire Center. The company delivers Type 4 and Type 6 fire engines, water handling equipment, vehicles with drivers, trained personnel, transportation, and logistical support for fire suppression, incident management, prescribed burning, and fuels management across National Forest System lands nationwide.

KL Farms Fire operates as a limited liability partnership and holds nine active indefinite delivery contracts structured as total small business set-asides, all with $250,000 ceilings and performance periods extending through 2028–2031. Recent representative prime awards include a $291,502.48 delivery order from Forest Service Region 6 in July 2026 for wildland fire management services in Pendleton, Oregon; a $182,875.73 delivery order from Region 6 in July 2025 for fire engines, vehicles, and water handling support in the John Day area; and a $142,099.71 purchase order from the Idaho Region in June 2025 for a Type 6 fire engine. A $500,000 water handling IDC for Regions 3 and 8, awarded by the National Interagency Fire Center in February 2026, anchors the vendor's broadest regional coverage beyond the Pacific Northwest.

Customer concentration is heavily weighted to two agencies: the Forest Service Fire and Aviation Management National Interagency Fire Center accounts for 46 awards worth $6 million combined potential value, and Forest Service Region 6–Pacific Northwest Region accounts for 94 awards worth $5.6 million. These two customers represent 91% of the vendor's combined potential value across 222 total awards. Forest Service Regions 3 (Southwestern) and 5 (Pacific Southwest), the Bureau of Land Management Idaho Region, and six other Forest Service regions round out the customer set. The concentration reflects KL Farms Fire's geographic positioning in the Pacific Northwest and its established role as a regional wildland fire support contractor.

The vendor's activity has grown sharply in recent years—from 20 awards in 2022 to 43 awards in 2026 through August, with 59% of the $15.3 million combined potential value obligated. Award volume reflects sustained seasonal demand for fire suppression resources across the fire season, with delivery orders typically valued between $10,000 and $300,000 and completion dates clustering in summer and early fall months. The vendor competes on open (non-set-aside) delivery orders as well as reserved set-aside vehicles, indicating competitive strength across both procurement pathways.

The vendor's NAICS coding concentrates on Support Activities for Forestry (175 awards) and All Other Transit and Ground Passenger Transportation (41 awards), with PSC alignment to Natural Resources/Conservation–Forest-Range Fire Suppression/Presuppression (203 awards). The top five parent vehicles are all National Interagency Fire Center or Forest Service region indefinite delivery contracts and blanket purchase agreements, anchored by IDC 1202SB22T7939 with 43 task orders worth $2.2 million. KL Farms Fire does not subcontract; all awards are performed as prime.
