Idaho Trailblazers LLC

Idaho Trailblazers LLC, a self-certified small disadvantaged business based in Nampa, Idaho, operates as a prime contractor delivering trail maintenance, construction, rehabilitation, water handling for wildland firefighting, and specialty emergency vehicles to the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service and the National Interagency Fire Center across Western and Southwestern national forests. The company competes predominantly in full-and-open and total small business set-aside procurements, with all 206 recent awards issued as prime contracts on firm fixed-price delivery orders and indefinite-delivery vehicles.

Idaho Trailblazers holds primary NAICS classification under Support Activities for Forestry (202 awards) with secondary capability in equipment rental and leasing (4 awards), and operates predominantly under PSC Natural Resources/Conservation—Forest-Range Fire Suppression/Presuppression (178 awards) and Fire Fighting Equipment (24 awards). Work is performed across national forests in California, Arizona, Idaho, New Mexico, Nevada, Utah, Oregon, and Wyoming, with administrative oversight from Nampa, Idaho.

Customer concentration tracks heavily to forest regions and the National Interagency Fire Center. The top five funding agencies account for 77% of recent awards by count and 78% by potential value. The National Interagency Fire Center leads on dollars (42 awards, $3.4 million combined potential value), anchored by four indefinite-delivery contracts for water handling services issued under the Virtual Incident Procurement (VIPR) system: a $750,000 IDC for East Zone Regions 1, 2, 4, and 9 (awarded February 6, 2026, through May 30, 2030); a $500,000 IDC for Regions 3 and 8 (February 6, 2026, through May 6, 2030); and two earlier $250,000 IDCs (one awarded June 1, 2022, through May 30, 2025, one June 6, 2022, through May 7, 2025). The Forest Service Intermountain Region (R4) ranks second in awards (43 orders, $2.2 million combined potential value), followed by the Bureau of Land Management Idaho Region (27 awards, $1.1 million), the Forest Service Pacific Southwest Region (22 awards, $982 thousand), and the Rocky Mountain Research Station (25 awards, $786 thousand). The source names 11 distinct customer agencies, indicating modest customer diversity; the top five represent the vast majority of activity.

Idaho Trailblazers places task orders across five parent indefinite-delivery vehicles. The largest by volume is Indefinite Delivery Contract 1202SB22T7312 with 56 task orders worth $2.6 million combined potential value; 1284M819T7086 carries 50 task orders at $1.8 million; Blanket Purchase Agreement AG84M8B167044 shows 26 task orders at $853 thousand; and two additional IDCs (1202SB25T7894 and 1202SB22T7899) account for 14 and 11 task orders respectively at $712 thousand and $485 thousand. Recent delivery orders under these vehicles range from $5,380 to $122,362, with ultimate completion dates clustering in August and September 2026. Idaho Trailblazers competes on these vehicles without major sub-award footprint—all 206 awards in the source are prime awards.

Activity has grown from ten awards in 2023 to 36 in both 2024 and 2025, with 20 awards through September 2026. The company invoiced $8.1 million against $10.8 million in combined potential value across the portfolio (75% obligated). Recompete exposure emerges as the four VIPR water handling IDCs awarded in 2022 and 2025 approach expiration between May and September 2025 and May 2030, with the 2022-era vehicles expiring within twelve months from the source snapshot date (October 2026).

Idaho Trailblazers' capability portfolio centers on labor-intensive trail systems maintenance, signage installation, construction repairs, water handling resources for wildland firefighting including personnel and equipment delivery, and specialty fire engines (Type 4 and Type 6) and water tenders for emergency incident response. Representative recent work includes a $116,083.70 delivery order with the Forest Service Rocky Mountain Region (Region 2) awarded July 13, 2026, for water handling and emergency response; a $122,362.75 delivery order with the Intermountain Region (Region 4) awarded July 17, 2025, for trail maintenance and firefighting support; and a $101,200 delivery order with the Pacific Northwest Region (Region 6) awarded July 25, 2024, for trail maintenance and construction. The vendor operates exclusively as a prime contractor; no subcontract relationships appear in the source. The company holds no other known contract vehicles, GWACs, or agency-wide IDIQs beyond the Forest Service and NIFC vehicles named above.
