Ophir Creek Wildland Fire, LLC

Ophir Creek Wildland Fire, LLC, a Nevada-based limited liability company, provides wildland firefighting support equipment and services to the USDA Forest Service and the Department of the Interior as a prime contractor under total small business set-asides. The company specializes in potable and gray water trucks, handwashing stations, weed wash units, and associated personnel and logistics support for federal wildfire suppression and all-hazard incident response operations across Forest Service regions.

Ophir Creek operates exclusively as a prime contractor (100% of recent awards) on a highly specialized vehicle: the USDA Forest Service Virtual Incident Procurement (VIPR) program's Incident Blanket Purchase Agreements (I-BPAs). The company holds ten IDCs across multiple Forest Service regions, all under total small business set-asides, with individual ceilings of $250,000 or $500,000. These I-BPAs structure Ophir Creek's work across East Zone regions (1, 2, and 4) and West Zone regions (3, 5, and 6), with performance periods extending through 2029 and 2030. The portfolio includes dedicated vehicles for weed washing units, potable and gray water trucks with trailer-mounted handwashing stations, organized by region to enable rapid dispatch from the closest incident command centers. Representative delivery orders include a $44,400 order from Forest Service Region 4 in August 2024 for potable and gray water trucks and handwashing stations, a $35,213 order from Region 5 in July 2024 for similar equipment, and a $19,168 purchase order from Idaho Region in June 2025 for a Type 2 potable water truck.

Customer concentration is extreme and intentional: the National Interagency Fire Center accounts for $3.5 million (97% of combined potential value) across ten awards, with subsidiary Forest Service regional offices holding the remaining $113 thousand across four awards. A single Department of the Interior Bureau of Land Management order for $19 thousand rounds out the customer base. The company has not developed relationships outside the federal wildland incident response ecosystem.

Recent activity shows acceleration — two awards in 2022, three in 2024, four in 2025, and seven through August 2026 — but award values remain modest; combined potential value across all sixteen awards is $3.6 million, with only $132 thousand obligated to date (4% of potential value). This reflects the nature of I-BPA vehicles: pre-season contracts with high ceilings relative to actual task order deployment during active fire seasons. The company operates within a narrow NAICS frame (Support Activities for Forestry, primary PSC code S215 for Forest-Range Fire Suppression/Presuppression) and holds no parent contract vehicles, GWACs, or teaming relationships outside the VIPR ecosystem.
