Lewiston Fire Company NO. 2., Incorporated

Lewiston Fire Company NO. 2., Incorporated, a tax-exempt non-profit fire protection organization based in Niagara Falls, New York, provides emergency medical services, structural fire suppression, wildland fire management, and accident response to the Department of the Interior's Bureau of Indian Affairs as a prime contractor under single-award blanket purchase agreements, with no small business set-aside designations applied across its federal portfolio.

The vendor operates exclusively as a prime contractor (100% of awards) serving Native American communities in the Bureau's Eastern and Southern Plains regions. Lewiston Fire Company holds a $500,000 single-award BPA (INA17PA00001) with the Bureau of Indian Affairs Eastern Region, established July 1, 2022, and running through June 30, 2027. Individual task orders under this vehicle are priced at $800 per emergency response call, with call orders ranging from $4,800 to $24,800 in combined value. The vendor also holds a second BPA (140A1522A0003) with the Bureau's Southern Plains Region. The organization has received 56 task orders under the primary Eastern Region BPA and 10 under the Southern Plains vehicle, for combined potential value of $247,000 and $142,000 respectively. Beyond the contract footprint, Lewiston Fire Company received an $95,034 Assistance to Firefighters Grant (CFDA 97.044) from the Federal Emergency Management Agency in August 2023, running through August 2025, to enhance operational fire protection and emergency response capabilities.

Customer concentration is extreme: the Bureau of Indian Affairs Eastern Region accounts for 67 of 71 identified awards (96% of award count) and $1.4 million of the $1.9 million combined potential value. The Southern Plains Region supplies 3 awards worth $11,000. The vendor's federal footprint is narrow and specialized — 57 awards fall under the natural resources and forest-range fire suppression category (PSC code covering wildland firefighting support), while 16 awards fall under fire protection (housekeeping category). Total obligated dollars across all awards reach $1 million, or 54% of the $1.9 million combined potential value, reflecting that a significant share of the BPA ceiling remains unexercised. Activity has declined markedly in recent years, from 6 awards in 2022 to 1 award in 2026, mirroring the shift from multiple small monthly or quarterly task orders to a single large umbrella BPA against which call orders are issued on demand. The organization has served the Bureau continuously since at least 2004, positioning it as an established emergency response provider for tribal communities in western New York.
