Ernesto Saul Magana Inc.

Ernesto Saul Magana Inc., doing business as Texas Fire Service, is a small disadvantaged, minority-owned, veteran-owned, and service-disabled veteran-owned business based in Corpus Christi, Texas, that provides wildland fire suppression equipment, water handling services, and trained personnel to the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service and the National Interagency Fire Center as a prime contractor across 100% of its federal awards. The vendor competes entirely under small-business set-asides — predominantly Total Small Business designations — and holds no subcontract footprint.

Texas Fire Service specializes in water handling equipment and services for wildland fire suppression and all-hazard incidents, including Type 3 and Type 6 fire engines, trained crew delivery, equipment transport, and support for extended 16-hour daily operational shifts. Representative prime work includes a $151,041.70 firm fixed-price delivery order from USDA Forest Service Region 6 (Pacific Northwest) awarded August 2, 2026, for wildland fire services in Sandy, Oregon; a $112,500 delivery order from Region 4 (Intermountain) on July 3, 2026, for fire suppression support in Price, Utah; and a $146,250 delivery order from Region 5 (Pacific Southwest) on July 19, 2024, for Type 3 and Type 6 fire engine and water handling support to the Intermountain and Pacific Southwest regions. The vendor also received a $500,000 multiple-award indefinite delivery contract from the National Interagency Fire Center on February 6, 2026, for water handling services across East Zone Regions 1, 2, 4, and 9.

Customer concentration sits heavily within USDA Forest Service regional offices. The top five customer entities account for 93% of recent awards. The National Interagency Fire Center anchors the potential-value ranking with 12 awards valued at $1.4 million combined, while Forest Service Region 4 (Intermountain) places 13 awards worth $1.1 million and Region 5 (Pacific Southwest) places 17 awards worth $961 thousand. The vendor operates across three primary indefinite delivery contracts: IDC 1202SB22T7260 carries 26 task orders (combined potential value $1.2 million), IDC 1202SB25T7743 carries 11 task orders ($1 million), and IDC 1284M819T7101 carries 10 task orders ($399 thousand). All three are small-business set-asides for water handling and fire suppression services across multiple Forest Service regions.

Activity has remained relatively flat in recent years — 15 awards in 2022, declining to 6 in 2023 and 2024, then rising to 8 awards in both 2025 and 2026. Combined potential value across 54 prime awards totals $4.1 million, with $2.8 million obligated (69% execution rate). The vendor holds no federal contract vehicles, no GWAC seats, and no BPA positions beyond the three small-business IDIQ vehicles. Capability footprint is narrowly focused: 54 awards fall under Support Activities for Forestry (NAICS), with 53 awards classified under Natural Resources/Conservation—Forest-Range Fire Suppression/Presuppression PSC code and 1 award under Fire Fighting Equipment.
