On Fire Welding LLC

On Fire Welding LLC, a self-certified small disadvantaged business based in Fresno, California, provides mobile welding and on-site mechanic services to the U.S. Forest Service and related federal forestry and firefighting operations as a prime contractor, competing across both Total Small Business set-aside and full-and-open delivery orders.

On Fire Welding operates exclusively as a prime contractor (100% of recent awards), with no subcontract footprint. The vendor holds a limited liability partnership structure and competes across two primary NAICS categories: General Automotive Repair (20 of 21 awards) and Support Activities for Forestry (1 award), with all 21 awards falling under PSC Natural Resources/Conservation— Forest-Range Fire Suppression/Presuppression. The company's customer base concentrates almost entirely within the Department of Agriculture's Forest Service and National Interagency Fire Center (NIFC), which accounts for all but one award across the portfolio. The National Interagency Fire Center, as the central funding entity, anchors the portfolio with three IDC awards totaling $750 thousand in combined potential value; the Forest Service's Pacific Southwest Region (Region 5) accounts for seven awards totaling $401 thousand; and the broader Forest Service organization issued ten additional awards totaling $303 thousand. The Department of the Interior's Bureau of Land Management Idaho Region represents a single $18 thousand purchase order.

On Fire Welding holds three Indefinite Delivery Contracts under the Virtual Incident Procurement (VIPR) program, all with the National Interagency Fire Center. The largest and most recent, awarded August 7, 2026, carries a $250 thousand ceiling through August 8, 2031, with a multiple-award Total Small Business set-aside designation for mechanic services and a service truck covering West Zone Regions 5 and 6. A second IDC, awarded February 6, 2026, also valued at $250 thousand and extending through June 4, 2028, covers the same scope under the same set-aside. A third IDC, awarded June 4, 2023, with the same $250 thousand ceiling and June 4, 2028 completion date, preceded both recent awards. Against these vehicles, On Fire Welding has received 15 task orders totaling $584 thousand in potential value, plus two additional task orders totaling $120 thousand against a second IDV (12024B26T8424). Representative delivery orders include a $127 thousand firm fixed-price order from the Pacific Southwest Region on September 1, 2025, for mobile welding and mechanic services in Clovis, California; a $62.5 thousand order from July 27, 2024, for welding services; and a $65 thousand order also from July 27, 2024, completing August 23, 2024. Recent September 2026 awards include a $61.2 thousand delivery order (September 3, 2026) and a $58.5 thousand order (September 2, 2026), both under the VIPR program for fire suppression and all-hazard incident support, with performance locations in Solvang, California.

Activity increased from one award in 2023 to nine in 2024, then remained steady at seven in 2025 before declining to four awards in 2026 (through September). Of the $1.5 million combined potential value across all awards, $721 thousand has been obligated, representing 49% drawdown. The vendor's work is geographically distributed across California (Fresno, Clovis, Solvang, Porterville) and Idaho (Boise), with performance supporting Regions 5 and 6 of the Forest Service across fire suppression, emergency incident response, and routine forestry operations maintenance.
