Mountain Man Wood Projects

Mountain Man Wood Projects, operating as Wyfire, supplies wildfire suppression equipment, vegetation removal services, water handling resources, and heavy equipment to the U.S. Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management as a 100% prime contractor under total small business set-asides, with five active indefinite delivery contracts through the National Interagency Fire Center's Virtual Incident Procurement system holding a combined $1.25 million ceiling through 2029 and 2030. The company is a Wyoming-based service-disabled veteran-owned business, small disadvantaged business, and HUBZone-certified Subchapter S corporation headquartered in Ten Sleep with no subcontract footprint — all work is performed with internal resources and trained personnel.

Wyfire holds five VIPR I-BPA vehicles across the National Interagency Fire Center, each structured as a firm fixed-price indefinite delivery contract under total small business set-asides: three contracts for water handling equipment and services ($500 thousand ceiling awarded February 2026 for East Zone Regions 1, 2, 4, and 9; $250 thousand awarded May 2025 for the same regions; and an expired $250 thousand contract awarded June 2022 covering Regions 1, 2, 4, 8, and 9); one contract for chipping equipment ($500 thousand ceiling, awarded February 2026 for East Zone Regions 1, 2, and 4); one for miscellaneous heavy equipment including feller bunchers, mulchers, road graders, and skidders ($500 thousand, awarded February 2026 for East Zone Regions 1, 2, and 4); one for fallers ($250 thousand, awarded August 2026 through August 2028 for East Zone Regions 1, 2, and 4); and one for off-highway vehicles ($250 thousand, awarded August 2026 through August 2031). Delivery orders issued under these vehicles have ranged from $5 thousand to $72,788, spanning Montana, Colorado, Wyoming, California, Idaho, Kansas, and Nebraska with performance periods typically four to six weeks.

Customer concentration is extreme: the Department of Agriculture Forest Service Fire and Aviation Management National Interagency Fire Center anchors eleven awards worth $3.3 million of the company's $4.2 million combined potential value (78% of portfolio), while the Forest Service Rocky Mountain Region (R2) accounts for ten awards worth $498 thousand. The two top customer rankings align closely. The company has worked with seven distinct agencies in aggregate; the Bureau of Land Management Idaho Region represents the only material customer outside the Forest Service ecosystem, holding two awards worth $145 thousand. Activity accelerated in 2026 with ten awards year-to-date (through August 14, 2026) after a flat 2023–2025 period averaging four awards annually.

Wyfire's capability portfolio is narrowly focused on forestry and wildfire support services grounded in NAICS 561730 (Support Activities for Forestry) and PSC code K021. Recent representative work includes a $71,088.50 firm fixed-price delivery order from the Forest Service Rocky Mountain Region (July 31, 2026) for wood project services in Durango, Colorado with completion August 17, 2026; a $94,500 purchase order from the Forest Service Idaho Region (June 1, 2025) for a Type 3 fire engine with completion October 31, 2025; and a $53,100 delivery order from the Forest Service Northern Region (August 17, 2023) supporting vegetation removal and wood services in Libby, Montana. The company has received approximately $534 thousand across multiple Forest Service regions since 2022 with combined dollars obligated at $810 thousand against the $4.2 million potential-value ceiling (19% obligation rate), reflecting the on-call nature of VIPR incident procurement and the seasonal character of wildfire-support demand.
