Intermountain Fire Support

Intermountain Fire Support, a for-profit small business based in Wells, Nevada, supplies logistical infrastructure and equipment for wildland fire management operations to the Department of Agriculture Forest Service and the Department of the Interior as a prime contractor exclusively under total small business set-asides and full-and-open awards. The vendor competes predominantly under full-and-open designations on delivery orders and purchase orders, with underlying IDCs designated as total small business set-asides.

Intermountain Fire Support's capability portfolio centers on potable and gray water trucks, trailer-mounted handwashing stations, sanitation equipment, and related logistical support for fire suppression and emergency response operations across western U.S. Forest Service regions. Representative work includes a $101,871 delivery order awarded by Forest Service Region 4 (Intermountain) in July 2025 for water and sanitation logistics supporting fire camp operations in USFS Regions 1, 2, and 4; a $79,568.50 delivery order from Forest Service Region 6 (Pacific Northwest) in August 2024 for similar equipment and services; and a cluster of six purchase orders issued by the Forest Service Idaho Region in June 2025 aggregating approximately $137 thousand for potable water trucks and handwashing stations across multiple named fire incidents (Cottonwood Peak, Jakes, Mount Irish, and others). The vendor also supplies individual water trucks and camp infrastructure on smaller delivery orders from regional Forest Service offices.

Customer concentration aligns tightly with fire management operations. The top five funding entities account for 83% of recent awards by count and 89% of combined potential value. The Department of Agriculture Forest Service Fire and Aviation Management National Interagency Fire Center anchors the dollar ranking with three awards totaling $1 million in combined potential value, driven principally by two indefinite delivery contracts ($500,000 ceiling awarded February 2026, running through May 2029; and $250,000 ceiling awarded May 2024, also running through May 2029) that provide on-call access to the vendor's water trucks and sanitation equipment. Forest Service Region 4 (Intermountain) follows with eight awards totaling $344 thousand combined potential value, and the Department of the Interior Bureau of Land Management Idaho Region contributes six awards totaling $163 thousand. The vendor also serves the Bureau of Land Management Nevada Region (9 awards, $52 thousand) and Forest Service Region 6 (Pacific Northwest).

The vendor holds positions on multiple small-business-set-aside IDCs and BPAs with the Forest Service and the National Interagency Fire Center. Top parent vehicles include IDC 1202SB24T7437 (3 task orders, $204 thousand combined potential value), IDC 1202SB21T7353 (3 task orders, $36 thousand), IDC 1202SB26T8212 (2 task orders, $46 thousand), and BPA AG82X9B127027 (2 task orders, $33 thousand). The $500,000 NIFC IDC awarded in February 2026 represents a newly competed award replacing a prior $250,000 contract that expired May 2024, signaling sustained customer confidence in the vendor's specialized capabilities.

Activity has grown substantially over the past five years — one award in 2021 to seven in 2025 — with the largest concentration in 2025 delivery orders and June 2025 Idaho Region purchase orders. Intermountain Fire Support operates 100% as a prime contractor with no subcontract footprint in the source record. The vendor's NAICS footprint centers on Support Activities for Forestry (24 awards) with secondary exposure in Specialized Freight Trucking and Equipment Rental and Leasing. Combined potential value across all 35 awards in the source is approximately $2 million, with obligated dollars of $685 thousand (35% of potential value), reflecting the operational and variable-price nature of fire-season logistics work.
