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 services, water handling resources for wildland firefighting, and specialty emergency vehicles to the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Forest Service and the National Interagency Fire Center across multiple Western and Southwestern Forest Service regions. The company competes predominantly in full-and-open (unrestricted) procurement, with recent work spanning total small business set-aside IDCs held with the National Interagency Fire Center.

Idaho Trailblazers' customer concentration is heavily weighted to Forest Service operations across geographic regions and the interagency fire management infrastructure. The top five funding agencies account for 84% of recent awards: the National Interagency Fire Center (42 awards, $2.6 million combined potential value), the Forest Service's Intermountain Region or Region 4 (37 awards, $1.9 million), the Pacific Southwest Region or Region 5 (22 awards, $982 thousand), the Rocky Mountain Research Station (25 awards, $786 thousand), and the Southwestern Region or Region 3 (14 awards, $534 thousand). Award volume and potential value align closely across the top customers; the National Interagency Fire Center and Region 4 dominate both metrics. Concrete recent work includes a $33,600 firm fixed-price delivery order from the Forest Service's Intermountain Region in July 2026 for trail maintenance in Monroe, Utah, a $122,362.75 delivery order from the same region for trail maintenance and water handling services in August 2025, a $75,939.28 delivery order from Region 4 in August 2025 for trail maintenance and water handling resources, and multiple $250,000 multiple-award Indefinite Delivery Contracts awarded by the National Interagency Fire Center in 2025–2026 for on-call water handling services supporting fire suppression and all-hazard incident response across East Zone (Regions 1, 2, 4, 9), West Zone (Regions 3, 5, 6, 10), and Southwest Zone (Regions 3, 8) geographic areas.

Idaho Trailblazers places task orders through five parent IDCs and one BPA: IDC 1202SB22T7312 carries 56 task orders valued at $2.6 million combined potential value; IDC 1284M819T7086 carries 50 task orders valued at $1.8 million; BPA AG84M8B167044 carries 26 task orders valued at $853 thousand; IDC 1202SB22T7899 carries 11 task orders valued at $485 thousand; and IDC 1202SB25T7894 carries 7 task orders valued at $390 thousand. These vehicles are VIPR (Virtual Incident Procurement) incident blanket purchase agreements and Forest Service regional indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contracts used for on-call trail work and emergency response resources across Forest Service regions.

Activity grew substantially from 2022 (27 awards) through 2024 (36 awards), then declined to 14 awards in 2025 and 3 awards year-to-date in 2026; the trajectory suggests either project-based cyclicality in Forest Service region-level contracting or recent pipeline compression. Total combined potential value across all 167 awards is $8.2 million, with $6.3 million obligated (77% of potential value), indicating the vendor has realized most committed revenue across its portfolio.

The vendor's capability footprint centers on labor-intensive trail systems work—maintenance, signage installation, construction, and rehabilitation—across multiple Western and Southwestern national forests. Beyond trail work, Idaho Trailblazers provides specialty wildland firefighting equipment: delivery orders document multiple Type 4 fire engine procurements from the National Interagency Fire Center valued at $26,000 to $127,400 per unit between 2021 and 2022. The company also delivers water handling services—personnel, equipment, transportation, and logistics support—on-call through the VIPR system to support fire suppression and all-hazard incident response. Work is performed across California, Arizona, Idaho, New Mexico, Nevada, Utah, Oregon, and Wyoming national forests. Primary NAICS classification is Support Activities for Forestry (163 of 167 awards); PSC is Natural Resources/Conservation—Forest-Range Fire Suppression/Presuppression (163 of 167 awards).
