I Know Jack, LLC

I Know Jack, LLC, a Montana-based sole proprietorship and small business, supplies heavy equipment rental services for wildland fire suppression and emergency response operations to the Department of Agriculture Forest Service as a prime contractor exclusively under Total Small Business set-asides. The vendor operates entirely as a prime (100% of recent awards) with no subcontracting footprint, delivering excavators, dozers, water tenders, and related equipment to federal fire suppression programs.

I Know Jack's customer concentration is heavily weighted toward the Forest Service across two administrative channels. The Department of Agriculture Forest Service R1-Northern Region accounts for 49 awards totaling $2.5 million in combined potential value, while the Fire and Aviation Management National Interagency Fire Center accounts for 14 awards totaling $3.5 million — together representing 96% of recent award count and 100% of combined potential value across the vendor's portfolio. The divergence in value ranking reflects the NIFC's larger-ceiling IDIQs relative to the Northern Region's smaller delivery orders. The vendor also holds minimal exposure to the Rocky Mountain Region (R2), Alaska Region (R10), and Southern Region (R8), together representing less than 5% of total potential value.

I Know Jack holds nine indefinite delivery contracts awarded by the National Interagency Fire Center on February 6, 2026, and May 30, 2025, spanning water handling services and miscellaneous heavy equipment across East Zone Regions 1, 2, 4, and 9 through 2028–2030. The IDCs carry ceilings ranging from $250,000 to $500,000, all set aside for total small business and structured as firm fixed-price multiple-award vehicles using the Virtual Incident Procurement (VIPR) system for Incident Blanket Purchase Agreement issuance. Representative work includes a $52,171.67 delivery order issued August 18, 2026, for equipment supporting wildland fire suppression at Forest Service Region 1 in Hamilton, Montana, and a $12,800 delivery order issued July 31, 2026, for miscellaneous equipment in Missoula, Montana. The vendor also carries older BPA positions under Northern Region contracts, with 9 task orders against BPA AG0343B167077 totaling $143,000 in combined potential value.

Activity has grown sharply in 2026 — seven awards year-to-date through August — after a dormant 2023–2025 period. The combined potential value across all 70 awards is $6.4 million, of which $1.3 million (20%) is obligated. The vendor's NAICS concentration is 100% Support Activities for Forestry, with 58 of 70 awards mapped to the PSC for forest-range fire suppression and presuppression work. I Know Jack's entire footprint represents on-call incident response resourcing tied to seasonal fire operations and emergency dispatch through regional Forest Service dispatch centers, with optional interagency utilization available to the Department of Interior and National Park Service under the NIFC contracts.
