Nab Fire Equipment LLC

Nab Fire Equipment LLC, a woman-owned small business partnership based in Weiser, Idaho, supplies fire suppression equipment and heavy machinery to the U.S. Forest Service and related federal wildfire-management agencies as a prime contractor exclusively under small-business set-asides, competing across total small business and open small business categories.

Nab Fire Equipment's federal footprint concentrates almost entirely on Forest Service fire operations. The top four customer agencies account for 100% of recent awards and are all Forest Service entities: the National Interagency Fire Center (10 awards, $3.5 million combined potential value), the Intermountain Region—Region 4 (9 awards, $561 thousand), the Pacific Northwest Region—Region 6 (2 awards, $228 thousand), and the Rocky Mountain Region—Region 2 (3 awards, $135 thousand). The portfolio splits between ten Indefinite Delivery Contracts with the National Interagency Fire Center and fourteen delivery orders against those IDCs issued by regional Forest Service offices. IDC 1202SB24T7323 anchors the footprint with eight task orders worth $568 thousand; three additional IDCs carry one or two task orders each.

The company's core capability is procurement and delivery of specialized fire-suppression equipment and heavy machinery. Named equipment classes include feller bunchers, mulchers and masticators, dozers, excavators, road graders, skidders, water-capable vehicles, and mechanic service trucks. Recent representative delivery orders include a $129 thousand order from Forest Service Region 6 (Pacific Northwest) on August 21, 2026, for fire equipment and heavy machinery supporting wildfire suppression and emergency response with performance in Sandy, Oregon; a $70 thousand order from Region 4 (Intermountain) on August 2, 2025, for specialized fire suppression and emergency response equipment in Venice, Utah; and a $82 thousand order from Region 4 on October 9, 2024, for fire equipment and heavy machinery.

The Indefinite Delivery Contracts support fire operations through the National Interagency Fire Center's Virtual Incident Procurement (VIPR) system across East Zone regions (Regions 1, 2, 4, and 9). Recent IDCs include a $750 thousand multiple-award IDC for heavy equipment awarded February 6, 2026, running through May 8, 2029; a $500 thousand IDC for miscellaneous heavy equipment awarded the same date through May 14, 2029; a $250 thousand IDC for mechanic services with service truck support awarded August 5, 2026, through August 5, 2031; and a $250 thousand IDC for water-handling equipment awarded July 30, 2026, through July 31, 2030. All Indefinite Delivery Contracts are set aside for total small business and designated as multiple-award vehicles available for optional use by the Department of Interior, National Park Service, and Bureau of Indian Affairs. Combined potential value across the ten IDCs is $3.5 million.

Activity has accelerated year over year—seven awards in 2024, five in 2025, and twelve in 2026—though combined dollars obligated remain modest at $923 thousand against $4.4 million combined potential value (21% execution rate). The vendor competes exclusively as a prime; no subcontract footprint appears in the source data. NAICS coding reflects the work: 20 awards under Support Activities for Forestry and 4 under General Automotive Repair; all 24 awards carry PSC Natural Resources/Conservation—Forest-Range Fire Suppression/Presuppression.
