KBM Advisors Inc.

KBM Advisors Inc., doing business as Alpine Wildfire, is a self-certified small disadvantaged business based in El Dorado Hills, California, operating as a for-profit Subchapter S corporation that delivers wildland fire management services to federal agencies as a prime contractor across 86 federal awards with combined potential value of $9 million. The company competes entirely on a set-aside basis, with all recent prime work designated for total small business set-asides through indefinite-delivery contracts.

Alpine Wildfire's capability footprint centers on Type 3 and Type 6 fire engine supply, water handling equipment provision, fire suppression support services, and operational consulting for wildfire prevention, preparedness, suppression, and recovery. Representative named work includes a $648,295.26 delivery order from Forest Service Region 5 (Pacific Southwest Region) in July 2025 for Type 3 and Type 6 fire engines and water handling equipment in support of fire suppression operations in Grass Valley, California; a $332,800 delivery order from Forest Service Region 6 (Pacific Northwest Region) in July 2026 for fire suppression equipment and operational support in Sandy, Oregon; and multiple regional delivery orders ranging from $22,400 to $270,392 for fire engines, water handling, and operational consulting across Regions 2, 4, 5, and 6.

Customer concentration sits heavily with Forest Service regional operations. The Department of Agriculture Forest Service R5-Pacific Southwest Region accounts for 42 awards (49% of total) with $4.1 million combined potential value, anchoring the portfolio. Forest Service R4-Intermountain Region holds 16 awards ($1.7 million), and the National Interagency Fire Center carries 10 awards ($1.7 million) for water handling equipment and fire suppression services across East Zone regions and Region 5. The Bureau of Land Management Idaho Region and the Southwestern Region add 6 and 3 awards respectively, bringing top-five customer concentration to 92 percent of awards. The two customer rankings align closely—R5-Pacific Southwest dominates both volume and dollars—reflecting a concentrated, region-centric market footprint.

Alpine Wildfire holds four active indefinite-delivery contracts, all total small business set-asides. The primary vehicle is IDC 1202SB22T7348, a June 2022 award for water handling services across Forest Service East Zone regions 1, 2, 4, 8, and 9 with a $250,000 ceiling, running through May 2025, from which 47 task orders have been placed totaling $3.4 million in combined potential value. A second East Zone vehicle, IDC 129J6125T7199 (February 2026 award, $500,000 ceiling through June 2030), carries 15 task orders ($2.8 million). For Region 5, a June 2025 award (IDC 1284M819T7094, $250,000 ceiling) supports water handling and fire engine services through June 2030, with 7 task orders ($260 thousand), and a July 2026 award (IDC 12024B26T7787, $500,000 ceiling through July 2030) provides water handling services for Region 5 with 1 named task order. All vehicles are firm fixed price and issued by or administered through the National Interagency Fire Center.

Activity has trended upward over the past five years—21 awards in 2022 climbed to 20 in 2024 before moderating to 12 in 2026 (year-to-date through August)—with 81 percent of combined potential value obligated across all awards, indicating a mature, invoiced portfolio. The recompete environment is material: awards issued in 2022–2024 carrying ultimate completion dates through mid-2025 represent substantial renewal exposure as older indefinite-delivery vehicles approach their contract expiration dates through May and June 2025.

Alpine Wildfire operates exclusively as a prime contractor; no subcontract activity is present in the source data.
