Northern Utah Fire LLC

Northern Utah Fire LLC, a self-certified small disadvantaged business based in Tremonton, Utah, provides wildland fire suppression, prevention, and emergency response services to the U.S. Forest Service and related federal agencies as a prime contractor under total small business set-asides and competitive delivery orders. The company operates as a limited liability partnership and competes exclusively through federal contracts, holding no subcontracts and no venture capital or parent-company relationships in the source record.

Northern Utah Fire LLC's capability portfolio centers on deployed wildland fire management: trained firefighting personnel, specialized firefighting vehicles (including Type 6 engines and water tenders), water handling equipment, materials, supplies, and transportation support for fire suppression, prevention, and all-hazard response across western Forest Service regions. Representative recent work includes a $41,200 delivery order from the U.S. Forest Service Region 4 (Intermountain Region) awarded August 27, 2026, for fire suppression services at Sparks, Nevada; a $55,500 delivery order from Region 4 awarded August 5, 2026, for Monroe, Utah operations; a $61,050 delivery order from Forest Service Region 6 (Pacific Northwest Region) issued through the General Services Administration on behalf of the Forest Service on July 30, 2026, for Pendleton, Oregon incident response; and a $67,894 purchase order from the Idaho Region awarded May 1, 2026, for a Utah Fire Engine Type 6.

Customer concentration is extreme: the Department of Agriculture Forest Service accounts for 39 of 44 awards (95% of the portfolio) across four operating units. The Forest Service Region 4 (Intermountain Region) alone represents 27 awards valued at $1.9 million combined potential value; the Fire and Aviation Management National Interagency Fire Center accounts for 9 awards totaling $1.2 million; the Research Service Rocky Mountain Research Station holds 1 award at $250 thousand; and the general Forest Service accounts for 3 awards at $146 thousand. The Department of the Interior Bureau of Land Management Idaho Region placed 2 awards totaling $113 thousand. This concentration reflects Northern Utah Fire LLC's positioning as a pre-qualified small-business vendor within the Forest Service's Virtual Incident Procurement (VIPR) system for emergency fire suppression across the western United States.

Northern Utah Fire LLC holds three indefinite delivery contracts issued by the National Interagency Fire Center under the VIPR system. The largest is a $500,000 multiple-award IDC for water handling services across Forest Service East Zone Regions 1, 2, 4, and 9, awarded February 6, 2026, with an ultimate completion date of May 30, 2030. A second $250,000 multiple-award IDC for the same scope was awarded May 30, 2025, and expires May 30, 2030. A third $250,000 multiple-award IDC, also for water handling across Regions 1, 2, 4, 8, and 9, was awarded June 2, 2022, and expired May 30, 2025. Against these vehicles, Northern Utah Fire LLC has placed delivery orders: 16 task orders totaling $1.1 million under IDC 1202SB22T7626; 12 task orders totaling $909 thousand under IDC 1202SB25T7640; 7 task orders totaling $235 thousand under IDC 1284M819T7104; and 3 task orders totaling $112 thousand under IDC 1202SB26T7252. All task orders are firm fixed price.

Activity has grown from 5 awards in 2022 to 10 awards in both 2024 and 2025, with 9 awards in 2026 through late August. Combined potential value across the 44-award portfolio stands at $3.7 million, with $2.5 million (66%) obligated to date. The company faces a recompete cliff: multiple orders are completing or will complete in the 24 months following the source snapshot, requiring renewal of the underlying VIPR IDCs and competitive task order awards. All recent awards carry the Total Small Business set-aside designation (where applied) or no set-aside (when issued as spot orders under pre-qualified vehicles), and the vendor competes exclusively within the small-business set-aside posture. Northern Utah Fire LLC operates entirely as a prime contractor — no subcontract footprint is recorded in the source — and has worked only with the Forest Service, the National Interagency Fire Center, and the Bureau of Land Management across seven distinct customer offices. Work is performed across western Forest Service regions (California, Idaho, Nevada, Utah, and Wyoming) on an incident-driven basis, with administrative oversight at the National Interagency Fire Center.
