Lance LLC

Lance LLC, doing business as Lance D. Raff, is a self-certified small disadvantaged business located in Kooskia, Idaho, registered in the System for Award Management (SAM.gov) since February 2004. The company is structured as a Partnership or Limited Liability Partnership and operates as a For Profit Organization and Subchapter S Corporation. Specializing in providing critical equipment and support services for wildland firefighting efforts, Lance LLC has established itself as a key vendor for federal emergency response resources, particularly within the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Forest Service.

Lance LLC has consistently provided specialized equipment and support services primarily to the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Forest Service through delivery order contracts. These contracts have included the provision of heavy equipment such as water tenders, excavators, and other firefighting vehicles, with contract values ranging from $6,000 to $150,971. The company has delivered these services across multiple Forest Service regions, including the National Interagency Fire Center, Region 1 (Northern Region), and Region 6 (Pacific Northwest Region). None of the contracts were set aside for specific business types, indicating Lance LLC competed openly for these awards, demonstrating its competitive capabilities in providing emergency response equipment and services.

Lance LLC holds three significant Indefinite Delivery Contracts (IDCs) with the U.S. Forest Service, each with a $250,000 ceiling value and set aside for small businesses. These IDCs, awarded through the Virtual Incident Procurement (VIPR) system, cover water handling services and heavy equipment support for East Zone Regions 1, 2, 4, 8, and 9, with performance periods extending to 2028 and 2030. The contracts enable the Forest Service to rapidly procure critical firefighting assets, including water tenders, excavators, dozers, tractor plows, and associated operational support services. These IDVs position Lance LLC as a pre-qualified vendor capable of supporting local, regional, and nationwide fire suppression and all-hazard incident response efforts across multiple geographic regions.

Our business has many years of wildland fire suppression experience as well as dust abatement experience.
