Granite Mountain Ground Services, LLC

Granite Mountain Ground Services, LLC, a small disadvantaged business based in Okanogan, Washington, provides wildland fire suppression, emergency management, and all-hazard incident response resources to the U.S. Forest Service as a prime contractor exclusively under total small business set-asides. The company operates as a limited liability partnership and competes entirely within set-aside vehicles, holding multiple indefinite delivery contracts through the Virtual Incident Procurement (VIPR) system for vehicles with drivers, heavy equipment (dozers and excavators), and chipper crews supporting U.S. Forest Service Regions 5 and 6 across the Pacific Northwest and California.

Granite Mountain's customer base is concentrated within a single federal agency — the Department of Agriculture's Forest Service. The National Interagency Fire Center accounts for seven awards (combined potential value $2.3 million), all indefinite delivery contracts with firm fixed-price structures and small business set-aside designations, while the Forest Service's Region 6 (Pacific Northwest Region) accounts for four awards ($71 thousand combined potential value) in the form of delivery orders. All eleven awards in the portfolio are prime awards; the vendor does not subcontract.

The company's capability footprint centers on ground services for emergency response. Representative work includes a $250,000 indefinite delivery contract awarded by the National Interagency Fire Center on August 18, 2026, for vehicle-with-driver services (VIPR I-BPA covering Regions 5 and 6 West Zone, running through August 18, 2031), a $500,000 indefinite delivery contract for heavy equipment (awarded February 6, 2026, with performance through June 10, 2028), a $500,000 indefinite delivery contract for chipper services (awarded February 6, 2026, through May 28, 2029), and a series of delivery orders under these contracts ranging from approximately $7,732.50 to $28,473 for specified ground-service requests in Baker City, Oregon and Wenatchee, Washington. VIPR indefinite delivery contract 12569R25T7232 has generated four delivery orders totaling $71 thousand in combined potential value.

Activity has grown from two awards in 2024 to six in 2026. The vendor holds no parent vehicles beyond its VIPR indefinite delivery contracts; all work flows through delivery orders issued under those vehicles. Combined potential value across all awards stands at $2.3 million, with only $71 thousand obligated to date (3% of potential value), indicating that most ceiling authority remains unused and that the contract vehicles are structured for on-demand ordering during fire season and emergency incidents. The vendor's positioning is narrow — focused exclusively on Forest Service emergency response in western regions — and all work is reserved for small businesses under total small business set-asides.
