Mader, LLC

Mader, LLC, a self-certified small disadvantaged business based in Monticello, Florida, provides water handling equipment, personnel, transportation, and logistical resources for wildland fire suppression and all-hazard emergency response to the Department of Agriculture Forest Service as a prime contractor operating exclusively under Total Small Business set-asides. The vendor operates as a limited liability partnership and competes across 100% of its recent award footprint under small-business set-asides, with all eight awards landing in NAICS 722190 (Support Activities for Forestry) and PSC code H305 (Natural Resources/Conservation – Forest-Range Fire Suppression/Presuppression).

Mader's customer base is narrowly concentrated within the Forest Service. The two customer entities account for 100% of awards: the Department of Agriculture Forest Service Fire and Aviation Management National Interagency Fire Center (3 awards, $1 million combined potential value) and the Department of Agriculture Forest Service Region 8 – Southern Region (5 awards, $295 thousand combined potential value). The ranking by potential value reverses that by award count — the National Interagency Fire Center anchors the dollar volume through three IDIQs, while Region 8 drives transactional frequency through five delivery orders against those vehicles.

Mader holds positions on three multiple-award Incident Blanket Purchase Agreements for water handling services supporting Forest Service Regions 3 and 8, each running through May 6, 2030 with firm fixed-price, 16-hour daily shift rate structures. Two IDIQs were awarded February 6, 2026 (ceiling values $250,000 and $500,000 respectively), and one on May 6, 2025 (ceiling $250,000). Against the February 2026 awards, Mader has drawn five delivery orders from Region 8 between April and August 2026, ranging from $14,112 to $150,429 and all scheduled for completion by September 1, 2026 or earlier. Place of performance across all orders is Tallahassee, Florida. The contract vehicles extend utilization rights to interagency cooperators including the Department of Interior, National Park Service, and Bureau of Indian Affairs, though award documentation does not indicate active task orders from those agencies.

Activity is nascent but accelerating. Mader recorded one award in 2025 (the May 6 IDIQ) and seven awards in 2026 (three additional IDIQs and four delivery orders), all concentrated in the past six months. Combined potential value across all awards is $1.3 million, with $295 thousand obligated to date. All five delivery orders with ultimate completion dates in August and September 2026 face potential recompete as renewal opportunities or successor contracts, though the underlying IDIQ vehicles extend through 2030 and may shield recurring work from full re-competition if Mader maintains performance.
