Hi Country L.l.c

Hi Country L.L.C., a minority-owned, woman-owned small disadvantaged business based in Omak, Washington, supplies wildland fire management equipment and trained personnel to the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service and National Interagency Fire Center as a 100% prime contractor under total small business set-asides and full-and-open delivery orders issued against indefinite delivery contracts through the Virtual Incident Procurement system.

Hi Country's core capability is rapid mobilization of wildland fire suppression resources across western Forest Service regions. The vendor delivers Type 3, 4, 5, and 6 wildland fire engines, water tenders, wood chippers, pickup trucks, and trained suppression personnel for fire suppression and all-hazard incident response. Recent representative awards include a $154,284 delivery order from Forest Service Region 6 on August 27, 2026 for wildland fire management equipment and personnel in Pendleton, Oregon; a $165,240 delivery order on July 28, 2026 for fire engines and equipment in Sandy, Oregon; and a $225.2 thousand delivery order from Region 6 in August 2024 for wildland fire management resources. The vendor operates across multiple western regions including the Pacific Northwest, Intermountain, Pacific Southwest, and Southwestern regions, with place of performance spanning Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Utah, California, and New Mexico.

Customer concentration is pronounced and narrow. The top five agencies by award count account for 91% of recent awards, with the Department of Agriculture Forest Service Region 6 (Pacific Northwest Region) anchoring the portfolio at 164 awards valued at $8.9 million combined potential value. The National Interagency Fire Center accounts for 53 awards at $6.2 million. Forest Service Region 4 (Intermountain Region) represents 17 awards at $792 thousand. The two customer rankings align closely — Forest Service Region 6 dominates both volume and dollars — indicating consistent transactional depth with that customer rather than a concentration of large orders from a single buyer.

Hi Country holds nine active indefinite delivery contracts issued by the National Interagency Fire Center under the Virtual Incident Procurement system, all firm fixed-price, total small business set-asides with three-to-five-year performance periods and ceilings of $250,000 to $500,000 each. Named vehicles include water handling for Region 6 (Pacific Northwest), water handling for East Zone Regions 1, 2, 4, and 9, vehicle-with-driver services for Regions 5 and 6 (West Zone), chipper services for Regions 5 and 6, and off-highway vehicles across multiple regions. The top five parent vehicles by task order count are IDCs 1202SB22T7881 (33 task orders, $2 million combined potential value), 1204H119T7220 (33 task orders, $2 million), 1204H125T7272 (30 task orders, $2.1 million), blanket purchase agreement AG04H1B167404 (28 task orders, $1.1 million), and IDC 1204H118T7204 (16 task orders, $267 thousand). Delivery orders against these vehicles range from under $2,000 to $226,200 per task order, supporting rapid incident response across designated geographic zones.

Award volume has trended upward over the past five years, growing from 31 awards in 2022 to a peak of 36 awards in 2025; 2026 shows 27 awards year-to-date. The combined potential value across all 282 awards is $18.5 million, with $12 million obligated (65% of ceiling value). The vendor's portfolio is 100% prime contractor work with no subcontractor footprint recorded in the source.

Hi Country's category concentration reflects its specialized market position. Support Activities for Forestry accounts for 221 awards across the portfolio; All Other Transit and Ground Passenger Transportation covers 54 awards. Primary PSC coding aligns tightly with Natural Resources/Conservation—Forest-Range Fire Suppression/Presuppression (268 awards) and Fire Fighting Equipment (9 awards). The vendor competes exclusively under total small business set-asides and full-and-open procedures, with no evidence of 8(a), HUBZone, WOSB, or other set-aside categories in the recent award history. Total small business set-asides dominate the IDV parent vehicles, making this the characteristic procurement posture across the prime footprint.
