Incident Response Communications LLC

Incident Response Communications LLC, a woman-owned small business based in Tumwater, Washington, provides incident response communications and helicopter operations support services to the USDA Forest Service and the Department of Interior as a prime contractor, competing exclusively under total small business set-asides on its two core indefinite delivery contracts and full-and-open on task orders issued against those IDCs.

Incident Response Communications operates as a sole proprietorship and holds SBA certification as a Women-Owned Small Business. The company specializes in emergency communications infrastructure and aviation support for federal wildfire response, delivering mobile communications units, helicopter operations assistance, certified incident support personnel, equipment, materials, transportation, and lodging to support wildland fire suppression, all-hazard incidents, and prescribed burn operations. Recent representative work includes a $74,316 delivery order awarded August 10, 2026, by USDA Forest Service Region 6 (Pacific Northwest Region) for incident response communications supporting wildland fire management in Wenatchee, Washington, a $103,139.81 delivery order from July 27, 2024, for emergency communications and helicopter operations support in Springfield, Oregon, and a $61,389.34 delivery order from August 2, 2025, for mobile communications unit services in Tumwater, Washington. The company holds two multiple-award indefinite delivery contracts, both awarded February 6, 2026, with $500,000 ceilings each and total small business set-asides running through May 2029 — one for helicopter operations support (Region 13) and one for mobile communications units (Regions 1–6 National Zone).

Customer concentration is entirely within USDA Forest Service Fire and Aviation Management programs. The National Interagency Fire Center accounts for 22 awards ($2.6 million combined potential value), and USDA Forest Service Region 6 (Pacific Northwest Region) accounts for 6 awards ($344 thousand). A single Department of Interior Bureau of Land Management award in Idaho rounds out the three-agency customer base. The vendor's footprint splits across five parent vehicles, with the highest task-order volume under two legacy IDCs — Indefinite Delivery Contract 12024B19T7038 (7 task orders, $146 thousand) and Blanket Purchase Agreement AG024BB147093 (7 task orders, $184 thousand) — and continuing volume under the two newly awarded 2026 IDCs and earlier region-specific contracts. Activity remains steady, with three awards in 2025 and three in the first eight months of 2026, following a dip in 2023. Combined potential value stands at $3 million, with $691 thousand obligated to date (23% burn rate). The vendor operates 100% as a prime contractor with no subcontract engagement, holding all 29 awards directly from Forest Service and BLM contracting offices. Work is performed regionally across the Pacific Northwest and northern fire regions, with performance sites including Wenatchee, Springfield, and Tumwater, Washington and Boise, Idaho.
