Lone Wolf Wildfire LLC

Lone Wolf Wildfire LLC, a Washington-based small business limited liability company, provides wildfire prevention, preparedness, and response services to the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service and the Department of the Interior as a prime contractor exclusively, competing across both total small business set-asides and full-and-open procurements. The company operates from Walla Walla, Washington, and delivers equipment, trained personnel, water handling and firefighting apparatus, logistics support, and incident management services across western federal lands.

The company's customer concentration is extreme and regionally focused. The Forest Service Pacific Northwest Region (Region 6) accounts for 81 of the vendor's 120 total awards and $3.8 million of the $6 million combined potential value—67% and 63% of volume and dollars respectively. The Fire and Aviation Management National Interagency Fire Center places a distant second with 16 awards and $1.3 million, while the Bureau of Land Management Idaho Region, Forest Service Northern Region, and Forest Service Pacific Southwest Region round out the active customer set. The top five customers cover 96% of awards and 97% of potential value. This concentration reflects the vendor's core niche: local surge-capacity contracts for wildland fire response, typically valued under $200,000 and executed with short performance windows (often two to four weeks) during fire season.

Lone Wolf holds three active indefinite delivery contracts (IDCs) anchoring its work. A February 2026 multiple-award IDC with the National Interagency Fire Center carries a $500,000 ceiling and a total small business set-away, running through May 2030; a May 2025 VIPR Incident BPA with the same center covers Regions 3, 5, 6, and 10 with a $250,000 ceiling and total small business set-aside through May 2030; and a June 2022 IDC (expiring June 2025) carries a $250,000 ceiling across the same four regions also under total small business set-aside. Delivery orders against these vehicles dominate the footprint: 28 task orders ($825 thousand) flow through IDC 1204H119T7261; 21 ($875 thousand) through IDC 1202SB22T7965; and 20 ($529 thousand) through Blanket Purchase Agreement AG04H1B167297. Representative recent work includes a $57,235 delivery order from Forest Service Region 6 on August 20, 2026, for wildfire response services in Baker City, Oregon (total small business set-aside, completion September 8, 2026); a $52,186 delivery order from Region 6 on August 16, 2026, for water handling equipment, materials, and trained personnel in Pendleton, Oregon (total small business set-aside, completion September 9, 2026); and a $111,157 delivery order from Region 6 on July 19, 2024, for water handling, fire engine vehicles, and temporary firefighter staffing (no set-aside, completion August 18, 2024). The vendor also supplies equipment directly: five purchase orders from the Forest Service Idaho Region in June 2025 procured Type 4 and Type 6 wildland fire engines totaling approximately $170,000 (firm fixed price, no set-aside, completion October 2025).

Activity has been steady, averaging roughly eight to ten awards per year over the past five years, with no trajectory of growth or contraction. Four awards in 2022, ten in 2023, nine in 2024, eight in 2025, and eight year-to-date in 2026 signal operational stability within a narrow niche rather than expansion into adjacent federal markets. Over 115 of the vendor's 120 awards carry NAICS 115310 (Support Activities for Forestry), with the balance split between transportation and general automotive repair. The combined potential value across all awards stands at $6 million, with $3.7 million obligated (62% rate)—a tight working-capital profile characteristic of frequent small task orders against IDCs. The vendor holds no subcontractor relationships; 100% of awards are prime work. Lone Wolf competes predominantly under total small business set-asides on its IDC vehicles but also wins full-and-open delivery orders and purchase orders from the same customers, indicating acceptance in both channels but strategic reliance on set-aside protection for the core blanket purchase agreement and IDC roster.
