Great Basin Fire LLC

Great Basin Fire LLC, operating as Great Basin Fire, delivers wildland fire management services to the U.S. Forest Service as a prime contractor under small-business set-asides, supplying specialized fire engines, water tenders, trained personnel, and emergency response equipment for fire suppression, prevention, and all-hazard incident response across western federal forest regions.

Great Basin Fire is a for-profit limited liability company and sole proprietorship based in West Jordan, Utah. The vendor competes almost exclusively under total small-business set-asides on its parent indefinite delivery contracts (IDCs); the underlying delivery orders issued against those IDCs carry no set-aside designation, reflecting competitive sourcing at the task-order level against the small-business-set-aside vehicle. The company holds active SAM registration since 2010 and has generated 142 prime awards (100% of the award footprint) with combined potential value of $8.4 million and $7.1 million in obligated dollars.

Customer concentration is tightly focused on the Department of Agriculture Forest Service. The top five customer entities account for 80% of recent award volume: Forest Service Region 4 (Intermountain Region) leads with 54 awards totaling $3.7 million combined potential value, followed by the Fire and Aviation Management National Interagency Fire Center with 28 awards worth $1.8 million, Forest Service Washington Office Acquisitions with 9 awards ($618 thousand), the Forest Service general account with 6 awards ($615 thousand), and the Rocky Mountain Research Station with 16 awards ($611 thousand). The concentration by dollar value (87% across the top five) tracks closely with volume concentration, indicating stable repeating relationships rather than a mix of high-value and small orders.

Great Basin Fire holds three active parent IDCs. The largest is Indefinite Delivery Contract 1202SB22T7286 (awarded June 1, 2022, expiring May 30, 2025, ceilinged at $250,000) under a total small-business set-aside for water handling services supporting Regions 1, 2, 4, 8, and 9; against this vehicle Great Basin Fire has placed 44 task orders worth $2.5 million combined potential value. The second is Indefinite Delivery Contract 1284M819T7080 (31 task orders, $1.5 million combined potential value), also a $250,000 small-business-set-aside vehicle for the same regional scope. Most recently, Great Basin Fire was awarded Indefinite Delivery Contract 1202SB25T7658 (awarded May 30, 2025, extending through May 30, 2030) for $250,000 under total small-business set-aside to cover Regions 1, 2, 4, and 9; 22 task orders totaling $1.7 million have been placed against this vehicle. The Forest Service issues delivery orders through its Virtual Incident Procurement (VIPR) system via Incident Blanket Purchase Agreements (I-BPAs) to enable rapid resource deployment.

Activity has been volatile. The vendor recorded 16 awards in 2022, dropped to 6 in 2023, rebounded to 26 in 2024, and placed 22 orders in 2025, with 2 awards year-to-date in 2026 as of mid-July. Within the next twenty-four months, Great Basin Fire faces recompete of its two oldest IDCs (both originally awarded in 2022 and expiring by mid-2025 and 2026) that represent a combined potential value of approximately $500,000 in active vehicle capacity. Work is performed across multiple western Forest Service regions—Intermountain, Pacific Northwest, Rocky Mountain, Pacific Southwest, and Southwestern Regions—with specific locations including Monroe and Venice, Utah; John Day, Oregon; Jackson, Wyoming; Glenwood Springs, Colorado; and Cedar City and Santa Fe areas. The vendor's capability footprint remains narrowly specialized: fire suppression and prevention support through equipment provision and trained personnel deployment, with no subcontractor relationships or work outside the Forest Service wildland fire mission.
