Jake Hunter Lind

Jake Hunter Lind, a self-certified small disadvantaged business sole proprietorship based in Ellensburg, Washington, operates as a prime contractor providing vehicle-with-driver transportation services for federal fire and all-hazard incident response under total small business set-asides. The vendor holds three indefinite-delivery contracts with the National Interagency Fire Center (NIFC), all under the VIPR I-BPA vehicle for Regions 5 and 6 (West Zone), with a combined potential value of $750 thousand and no subcontractor activity.

All three awards target the same customer and mission: NIFC fire suppression and emergency response operations across the western United States. The first award, issued May 17, 2025, by the U.S. Forest Service under the VIPR I-BPA, carries a $250 thousand ceiling through May 17, 2030. A second NIFC award issued February 6, 2026, also under VIPR I-BPA with a $250 thousand ceiling and completion date of May 16, 2030, represents the same scope. A third award issued August 18, 2026, carries an identical $250 thousand ceiling and extends through August 18, 2031. Jake Hunter Lind's service scope includes providing pickup trucks, stakeside trucks, passenger vans, and sport utility vehicles with certified, trained personnel to support local, regional, and nationwide emergency response and fire suppression activities on federal lands.

Customer concentration is absolute—the Department of Agriculture Forest Service's National Interagency Fire Center accounts for 100% of awards and 100% of combined potential value. Activity is nascent: one award in 2025 and two in 2026. All work falls under NAICS All Other Transit and Ground Passenger Transportation and PSC Natural Resources/Conservation–Forest-Range Fire Suppression/Presuppression. Jake Hunter Lind does not appear on any government-wide contracts or broader agency IDIQs; the vendor's federal footprint is restricted to NIFC vehicle-with-driver BPAs.
