Peanut Pie Enterprises L.l.c

Peanut Pie Enterprises L.L.C., doing business as P.P.E., a Montana-based sole proprietorship, is a small-business prime contractor that supplies wildland firefighting engines (Type 4, Type 5, and Type 6), water handling equipment, trained personnel, and emergency response resources to the Department of Agriculture Forest Service and the National Interagency Fire Center across multiple regions, competing exclusively under total small business set-asides and full-and-open designations.

P.P.E. holds five active indefinite delivery contracts with the Forest Service and the National Interagency Fire Center, all carrying total small business set-asides and running through May 2030. Four of these are Virtual Incident Procurement (VIPR) Incident Blanket Purchase Agreements: two awarded February 6, 2026, for water handling services in East Zone Regions 1, 2, 4, and 9 (ceiling $500,000) and Regions 3 and 8 (ceiling $500,000), and two awarded May 6, 2025, and May 30, 2025, covering the same geographic zones with $250,000 ceilings each. A fifth IDC, awarded June 1, 2022, also covered the East Zone with a $250,000 ceiling through May 30, 2025. All are firm fixed price and support fire suppression, all-hazard incident response, and prescribed project work. Task orders against these vehicles range from approximately $5,240 to $156,750 per delivery order. Recent representative work includes a $139,683 delivery order (April 6, 2026) under a VIPR I-BPA through GSA for water handling services and equipment in the Southern Region with place of performance in Asheville, North Carolina; $90,400 in wildland firefighting engines, water handling services, and trained personnel for Forest Service Region 1 (August 8, 2026); and $66,000 for firefighting resources and water handling in Dillon, Montana (August 7, 2026).

Customer concentration is extremely narrow: the Department of Agriculture Forest Service R1-Northern Region accounts for 39 awards (54% of the total) valued at $1.7 million, while the National Interagency Fire Center accounts for 20 awards (28% of the total) valued at $2.4 million, together representing 88% of all awards. The remaining six awards spread across the Pacific Northwest Region, Southern Region, Intermountain Region, and Forest Service headquarters. By potential value, the National Interagency Fire Center leads at $2.4 million across 20 awards, followed closely by Region 1-Northern at $1.7 million across 39 awards; this split reflects the Interagency Fire Center's concentration of larger delivery orders against the newer, higher-ceiling IDCs awarded in 2025 and 2026. P.P.E.'s four highest-value parent vehicles—Indefinite Delivery Contract 12034319T7109 (21 task orders, $816,000), Blanket Purchase Agreement AG0343B167107 (12 task orders, $407,000), Indefinite Delivery Contract 1202SB22T7483 (9 task orders, $390,000), and Indefinite Delivery Contract 1202SB25T7845 (4 task orders, $112,000)—all fund Forest Service and Interagency Fire Center water handling and firefighting engine deployment. All 72 awards in the source are coded to NAICS 541712 (Support Activities for Forestry) and PSC Natural Resources/Conservation—Forest-Range Fire Suppression/Presuppression.

P.P.E. is 100% prime contractor by award count, with no subcontract footprint in the source data. Activity has remained modest and episodic, with two to six awards per year over the past five years (2022–2026), though the most recent awards are concentrated in August 2026, suggesting seasonal surge in fire-season procurement. The combined potential value across 72 awards is $4.5 million, with $2.3 million obligated to date. P.P.E. has maintained active SAM.gov registration since May 2004 and operates from Basin, Montana, with performance spanning multiple Forest Service regions, the National Interagency Fire Center dispatch areas, and occasional out-of-region work (Asheville, North Carolina; Dalton Gardens, Idaho).

Able to haul 300 gallons of water and fire suppresion tools and crew to relatively remote locations.
