Haywire Services LLC

Haywire Services LLC, a Chehalis, Washington–based small business, provides wildland fire suppression equipment rental and heavy equipment deployment services to federal land-management agencies as a 100% prime contractor under total small business set-asides. The company holds five indefinite delivery contracts (IDCs) with the USDA Forest Service's National Interagency Fire Center and competes exclusively in small-business–reserved procurements with no full-and-open awards in its recent footprint.

Haywire Services specializes in providing specialized heavy equipment with water—primarily dozers, excavators, and ancillary fire-suppression resources—for wildland fire suppression, all-hazard incident response, and prescribed burn projects across the western United States. Equipment deployment is managed through the Virtual Incident Procurement (VIPR) system, which enables rapid acquisition by Forest Service regional dispatch centers. Representative work includes a $166,079 delivery order to Region 6 (Pacific Northwest) on July 22, 2026, for equipment rental under a total small business set-aside; a $114,933 delivery order to Region 6 on June 23, 2025, for fire suppression equipment; and a $107,947 delivery order on July 7, 2024, also to Region 6. A single $39,000 purchase order for a Type 2 dozer was issued by the Department of the Interior's Bureau of Land Management Idaho Region on June 1, 2025.

Customer concentration is tightly aligned with USDA Forest Service fire operations. The Department of Agriculture Forest Service Fire and Aviation Management National Interagency Fire Center accounts for 5 awards (combined potential value $1.8 million), while the Forest Service Pacific Northwest Region (Region 6) accounts for 8 awards (combined potential value $495 thousand). Together, these two customers represent 100% of the company's recent awards. Activity has grown from 3 awards in 2023 to 6 in 2026, with 5 awards placed in 2025. Combined potential value across all recent awards is $2.4 million, with $642 thousand obligated to date (27% realization).

Haywire Services holds five active IDCs, all structured as total small business set-asides and firm fixed price vehicles. The largest is a $500,000 multiple-award IDC covering Regions 3, 5, and 6 through May 30, 2030 (awarded February 6, 2026); a second $500,000 IDC covers Regions 5 and 6 through June 10, 2028 (awarded February 6, 2026). Smaller vehicles include a $250,000 IDC for Region 6 through June 10, 2028 (awarded June 10, 2023), a $250,000 IDC for Regions 3, 5, and 6 through May 30, 2030 (awarded May 30, 2025), and a $250,000 IDC for Region 6 through August 6, 2029 (awarded August 6, 2026). All IDCs authorize rapid equipment deployment through VIPR and are managed by the National Interagency Fire Center. The portfolio concentrates entirely on natural resources and conservation forest-range fire suppression work, with 14 of 15 awards coded to PSC support activities for forestry.
