Korell Outfitters LLC

Korell Outfitters LLC, a small business partnership based in Sweet, Idaho, operates as a prime contractor supplying heavy equipment and outfitting services for wildland fire management, wildfire suppression, and prescribed fire operations across the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service and interagency fire management programs. The vendor competes predominantly under total small business set-asides across its Indefinite Delivery Contract portfolio and holds no subcontract work; all 39 awards in the recent portfolio are prime contracts.

Customer concentration is extremely narrow and set by forest fire management geography. The top five funding offices account for 90% of recent awards by count, with the Department of Agriculture Forest Service dominating through its regional offices and the National Interagency Fire Center. The Fire and Aviation Management National Interagency Fire Center anchors the largest dollar share at $3.3 million across ten awards, but this ranking is dominated by a single $7.5 million multiple-award Indefinite Delivery Contract from the Forest Service's Northern Region (Region 1) for prescribed fire and support services across twelve National Forests in the Intermountain Region, awarded September 8, 2025. The Intermountain Region (Region 4) accounts for fifteen awards totaling $953 thousand, while the Rocky Mountain Region (Region 2) and Southwestern Region (Region 3) together represent eight awards across $631 thousand in combined potential value. This concentration reflects Korell's role as a regional equipment and labor supplier for fire suppression and prescribed fire programs in western forest zones.

Korell holds seven active Indefinite Delivery Contracts, all set aside for total small business, running through 2028 to 2030. The largest and most recent is the September 2025 $7.5 million Region 1 prescribed fire IDIQ, which procures prescribed fire modules (20-person, 10-person, and 5-person teams), specialized equipment including dozers, water and fuel tenders, pumpercats, excavators, and air curtain burners. Five additional IDICs valued at $250 thousand to $500 thousand each support Virtual Incident Procurement (VIPR) Incident Blanket Purchase Agreements for heavy equipment task force operations in East Zone regions (1, 2, 4, and 9), awarded February 2026 and extending through 2028 to 2030. These vehicles enable rapid acquisition of dozers, feller bunchers, road graders, excavators, skidders, and mulchers for wildfire suppression and all-hazard incident response. The primary parent vehicle by task-order activity is Indefinite Delivery Contract 1202SB24T7304, which carries fourteen task orders worth $1.2 million in combined potential value; this vehicle drives Korell's operational volume across regions. A $250 thousand VIPR I-BPA (contract 1202SB21T7253) for heavy equipment task force operations in Regions 1 and 4, awarded May 2025, has generated four task orders totaling $233 thousand since award.

Activity has grown unevenly, with five awards in 2022, a drop to one in 2023, a sharp spike to ten in 2024, then seven in 2025 and nine in 2026. Only one award faces ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months (combined potential value $3 thousand), indicating minimal near-term recompete exposure; the bulk of Korell's active contract ceiling value extends through 2028 to 2030. Delivery orders range from $2,500 for prescribed fire support to $213,695 for heavy equipment and outfitting, with recent orders of $98,580 (July 2026, Region 2), $153,495 (July 2026, Region 2), and $86,984 (September 2025, Region 4) typifying the equipment-intensive work. Performance is geographically dispersed across western forest regions — Idaho, Colorado, Utah, Wyoming, Arizona, and New Mexico — reflecting the fire management footprint of the Forest Service's western regions. All awards are firm fixed price and carry no subcontract component.
