Heggie Wildfire LLC

Heggie Wildfire LLC, a small business based in Toppenish, Washington, provides wildfire suppression equipment, personnel, and emergency response services to the U.S. Forest Service as a prime contractor (100% of awards) under total small business set-aside vehicles. The company is structured as a limited liability partnership focused on wildland fire management, water handling equipment, and all-hazard incident response across the Pacific Northwest and interagency fire operations.

Heggie Wildfire's customer base is entirely within the Department of Agriculture's Forest Service ecosystem. The National Interagency Fire Center (Fire and Aviation Management directorate) accounts for three awards worth $1 million combined potential value, anchored by two indefinite-delivery contracts: a $500,000 ceiling water-handling IDC awarded February 6, 2026, running through May 29, 2030, and a $250,000 ceiling water-handling IDC awarded May 29, 2025, also running through May 29, 2030. Both are total small business set-asides under the VIPR I-BPA for Water Handling covering Region 6 (Pacific Northwest) and the broader West Zone (Regions 3, 5, 6, and 10). The Forest Service Pacific Northwest Region (Region 6) drives the second tier: five awards totaling $292 thousand, including a $84,720 delivery order issued August 28, 2026, for wildland fire management support with completion due September 12, 2026, and prior delivery orders valued at $15,750, $31,500, and $73,500 awarded in October 2025. A single $13,562 purchase order from the Interior Department's Bureau of Land Management Idaho Region for an engine rounds out the customer set.

Activity has been episodic: one award in 2022, one in 2023, then four in 2025 and three in 2026. The vendor works exclusively under firm fixed-price delivery orders and IDCs with short completion windows—many ranging from three to thirteen days—reflecting the time-sensitive nature of wildfire suppression contracting. Equipment delivered includes fire suppression engines (Types 3-6), support water tenders (Types 1-3), tactical water tenders (Types 1-2), and associated personnel and materials. Combined potential value across all nine awards stands at $1.3 million, with $306 thousand obligated to date (23% of potential). Heggie Wildfire operates without subcontractors across its portfolio, performing all work as prime contractor, and competes entirely within the total small business set-aside category across its active vehicles.
