Pacific Habitat And Fire, Inc.

Pacific Habitat And Fire, Inc., a self-certified small disadvantaged business headquartered in Redmond, Oregon, operates as a prime contractor providing wildland fire suppression equipment, water handling services, habitat restoration support, and emergency incident response personnel to the U.S. Forest Service and related federal land management agencies. The vendor competes exclusively under total small business set-asides on its Indefinite Delivery Contracts and holds no full-and-open awards; delivery orders issued against those vehicles carry no set-aside designation, but the underlying IDV vehicles are set-aside instruments. The company's footprint is narrow and specialized: 72 of 94 awards across the past five years fall under NAICS 541712 (Support Activities for Forestry), and 71 awards fall under PSC Natural Resources/Conservation—Forest-Range Fire Suppression/Presuppression.

Customer concentration is extreme. The Department of Agriculture Forest Service, through its Fire and Aviation Management National Interagency Fire Center (11 awards, $2.8 million combined potential value) and its Region 6 Pacific Northwest office (46 awards, $1.9 million), accounts for approximately 99% of combined potential value across the vendor's $5.2 million total award portfolio. The remaining customer agencies—the Department of the Interior Bureau of Land Management Oregon-Washington and the Occupational Safety and Health Review Commission—together represent less than 1% of potential value. This single-agency, single-mission dependency is the dominant competitive and strategic signal: Pacific Habitat And Fire exists to serve Forest Service wildland fire operations in the western United States.

The vendor holds eight active IDV positions, all competitively awarded under total small business set-asides between June 2022 and February 2026. Three $250,000 IDCs were awarded in 2022 for water handling services across Regions 3, 5, 6, and 10, and weed washing units for Regions 3, 5, and 6. Four additional $250,000 to $500,000 IDCs were awarded in May and June 2025 for water handling (East Zone Regions 1, 2, 4, and 9; Region 6 Pacific Northwest) and weed washing units (Regions 3, 5, and 6). A fifth $500,000 multiple-award IDC was awarded in February 2026 by the National Interagency Fire Center for water handling in Region 6. The top five parent vehicles—primarily older BPA and IDC instruments (1202SB22T8024, AG04H1B167307, 1204H119T7292, and others)—generated 44 task orders worth approximately $1.5 million combined; the newer VIPR-system IDCs issued in 2025 and 2026 will likely become the primary platforms for future ordering.

Activity has accelerated sharply. The vendor received 2 awards in 2022, 4 in 2023, 11 in 2024, then declined to 4 in 2025 and 5 so far in 2026, suggesting either seasonal variation in fire-season procurement or a recent shift toward longer-ceiling IDC vehicles that reduce the frequency of individual delivery orders. Place of performance spans the western forest regions, with the bulk of work in Oregon, Idaho, and California across Forest Service administrative boundaries. Representative named contracts include an August 2026 delivery order for $59,666.67 from Forest Service Region 6 for water handling services (performance in Sandy, Oregon, completion September 2, 2026), a July 2026 $28,000 order from the Forest Service for fire management support in Boise, Idaho (Region 4), and a $62,550.00 delivery order from Region 6 in July 2024 for specialized fire management and habitat restoration services. The vendor supplies fire engines, water tenders, weed washing units, transportation, lodging, and trained personnel on short-notice, on-call basis—the operational model of a regional incident-response equipment and labor pool rather than a design or engineering contractor.
