L & A Wildfire LLC

L & A Wildfire LLC, a Rio Rancho, New Mexico–based sole proprietorship, operates as a prime contractor delivering wildfire suppression, prevention, and mitigation services exclusively under Total Small Business set-asides to the Department of Agriculture Forest Service across western U.S. regions. The vendor holds 100% of its 84 recent awards as a prime (zero subcontract activity) and competes in a single commodity category — NAICS 541710 (Support Activities for Forestry) and PSC Natural Resources/Conservation–Forest-Range Fire Suppression/Presuppression.

Customer concentration is extreme: 90% of awards (by count) and 96% of combined potential value flow from five variants of the Department of Agriculture Forest Service. The Forest Service Region 3 Southwestern Region alone anchors 43 awards worth $2.1 million combined potential value, while the National Interagency Fire Center holds 17 awards worth $2 million. Region 5 Pacific Southwest, Region 2 Rocky Mountain, and Region 6 Pacific Northwest account for the remainder. No other federal customer appears in the source.

The vendor operates across four active indefinite delivery contracts with the National Interagency Fire Center, all Total Small Business set-asides running through 2030. The lead vehicles are a $500 thousand East Zone Regions 1, 2, 4, and 9 water-handling IDC awarded July 30, 2026 (21 task orders, $1.1 million combined potential value); a $500 thousand Regions 3 and 8 water-handling IDC awarded February 6, 2026 (13 task orders, $695 thousand); a $250 thousand West Zone Regions 3, 5, 6, and 10 VIPR I-BPA awarded May 6, 2025 (17 task orders, $664 thousand); and a $250 thousand VIPR I-BPA for Regions 3 and 8 awarded June 7, 2022 (expired May 7, 2025). Regional Forest Service offices issue delivery orders against these vehicles in firm fixed-price form, ranging from $11 thousand to $143 thousand per order. Representative examples include a $74,382 delivery order from Region 2 to Delta, Colorado on July 30, 2026; a $104,328 order from Region 3 to Flagstaff, Arizona on June 20, 2026; and a $143,045 order from Region 6 Pacific Northwest on July 22, 2024.

Activity remains consistent: ten awards in 2022, four in 2023, twelve in 2024, five in 2025, and eleven through July 2026. Combined potential value across all 84 awards is $5.3 million, with $3.2 million obligated (61% of potential). The vendor's service delivery includes water handling equipment, Type 6 fire engines and specialized vehicles, trained personnel, transportation, lodging, and direct on-site wildfire suppression and management support across Arizona, California, Colorado, New Mexico, Nevada, and Oregon, with administrative oversight at USDA Forest Service regional and national offices. All work is performed as firm fixed-price delivery orders against the vendor's indefinite delivery vehicles; the source indicates no subcontracting activity or teaming arrangements.
