Liphart Enterprises LLC

Liphart Enterprises LLC, doing business as Inland Fire, is a small business prime contractor based in Moscow, Idaho, that supplies water handling equipment, fire suppression apparatus, and incident response personnel to the U.S. Forest Service under total small business set-aside IDIQs and delivery orders. The vendor operates 100% as a prime contractor across federal fire management and emergency response work, with no subcontract activity in the source data.

Inland Fire's capability portfolio centers on equipment and personnel provisioning for wildfire suppression and all-hazard incident response. The vendor supplies Engines Type 3–6, Support Water Tenders Type 1–3, and Tactical Water Tenders Type 1–2, along with associated materials, transportation, and personnel at up to 16-hour daily shift rates. Representative work includes a $78,078 delivery order from the U.S. Forest Service Pacific Northwest Region (issued July 17, 2026, completed August 8, 2026) for water handling equipment and personnel in Pendleton, Oregon; a $81,627 delivery order (issued September 3, 2025, completed September 25, 2025) in Wenatchee, Washington; and a $53,712 delivery order (issued September 29, 2025, completed October 13, 2025), also in Wenatchee.

Customer concentration is narrowly focused on the Department of Agriculture. The Forest Service's Pacific Northwest Region (Region 6) accounts for 8 awards worth $389 thousand in combined potential value; the Fire and Aviation Management National Interagency Fire Center accounts for 3 IDIQs worth $1 million. Together these two organizational units represent 100% of the vendor's award portfolio. Inland Fire holds three firm fixed-price IDIQs with small business set-asides: a $250,000 ceiling contract awarded May 29, 2025, expiring May 29, 2030 (the primary vehicle with 6 delivery orders, $306 thousand combined potential value); a $500,000 ceiling contract awarded February 6, 2026, also expiring May 29, 2030; and a $250,000 ceiling contract awarded August 9, 2026, expiring August 9, 2029. All three establish Incident Blanket Purchase Agreements under the Virtual Incident Procurement system for preseason and emergency dispatch. Recent delivery-order activity has been steady: 5 awards in 2025, 6 in 2026 (as of September 11).

The vendor's footprint is entirely NAICS 334613 (Support Activities for Forestry) and PSC category Natural Resources/Conservation–Forest-Range Fire Suppression/Presuppression. Combined potential value across all awards is $1.4 million, with $389 thousand obligated (28% of potential). No awards approaching completion are noted in the next twenty-four months; the three parent IDIQs all extend through 2029–2030. Place of performance is concentrated in Wenatchee, Washington, and Pendleton, Oregon, with regional dispatch across Regions 5 and 6 of the Pacific Northwest.

Our primary capabilities are providing firefighting services to federal, state, local, and tribal entities through the use of fire equipment and certified personnel. We are available for local, regional, and nationwide fire suppression efforts, all-hazard incidents, and prescribed fire project work.
