Outback Wildfire LLC

Outback Wildfire LLC, a woman-owned small business based in Bend, Oregon, provides heavy equipment and water services for wildfire suppression and response operations to the Department of Agriculture Forest Service as a prime contractor under total small business set-asides. The vendor holds SBA certifications as a self-certified small disadvantaged business and an economically disadvantaged women-owned small business (EDWOSB), and operates as a for-profit limited liability company.

Outback Wildfire's federal footprint is nascent and concentrated entirely within wildfire and forestry support. The National Interagency Fire Center (NIFC), part of the Forest Service Fire and Aviation Management program, accounts for all three of the vendor's indefinite-delivery contracts, representing $750 thousand in combined potential value across West Zone regions 3, 5, and 6 in the Pacific Northwest. These three IDCs — awarded July 31, August 6, and August 17, 2026 — each carry $250 thousand ceilings and cover heavy equipment with water services, miscellaneous heavy equipment, and equipment-specific procurements under firm fixed-price structures running through 2028–2031. The vendor also holds a single active delivery order from the Department of Interior (Region 6, Pacific Northwest) issued September 13, 2026, for $31.5 thousand with a completion date of September 21, 2026. All four awards are total small business set-asides, firm fixed-price.

Recent activity shows four awards clustered between late July and mid-September 2026, with combined potential value of $782 thousand. Obligated dollars across the portfolio total $32 thousand (4% of potential value), reflecting the nascency of the relationship and the indefinite-delivery structure of the three NIFC IDCs, which have not yet generated task-order activity in the source data. All work is concentrated in NAICS 238910 (Support Activities for Forestry) and PSC Natural Resources/Conservation–Forest-Range Fire Suppression/Presuppression, with place of performance in Prineville and the broader Pacific Northwest.
