Perimeter Solutions LP

Perimeter Solutions LP, through its Fire Safety division, is a for-profit manufacturer and prime contractor that delivers wildland fire retardant products, mixing and loading services, bulk retardant supply, and full-service air tanker base support to federal wildfire management agencies, competing predominantly on full-and-open contracts without set-aside designations despite holding a $282 million small-business-set-aside IDC alongside substantially larger sole-source vehicles.

Based in Clayton, Missouri, Perimeter Solutions operates as a limited liability partnership classified under NAICS 325998 (All Other Miscellaneous Chemical Product and Preparation Manufacturing) and PSC codes centered on forest-range fire suppression and miscellaneous chemical specialties. The vendor's federal footprint is dominated by civilian wildland fire agencies: the National Interagency Fire Center (NIFC) accounts for $3.44 billion (76% of combined potential value) across 121 awards, while the Department of Interior Bureau of Land Management's regional offices—Nevada (312 awards, $33 million), Idaho (225 awards, $228 million), Utah (145 awards, $25.8 million), and Colorado (153 awards, $18.8 million)—collectively represent a substantial secondary concentration. The top five customer agencies cover roughly 40% of recent award count but exceed 76% of potential value, reflecting a sharp dollar concentration at NIFC. The vendor serves 39 distinct federal agencies including the U.S. Forest Service, Bureau of Indian Affairs, and various regional BLM offices.

Perimeter Solutions holds three named parent IDCs anchoring its prime work. The most recent is a $1.116 billion single-award indefinite delivery contract with NIFC (Award Date January 1, 2026, Performance through December 31, 2030) for sole-source national fire retardant supply. A $500 million single-award IDC (awarded March 22, 2024, expiring December 31, 2025) issued by NIFC covers full-service retardant supply, mixing and loading, bulk production, and air tanker base support across Boise, Idaho and subordinate air tanker base locations nationwide. A $282 million single-award small-business-set-aside IDC (awarded June 16, 2022, extending through December 31, 2031) under the Retardant On-Demand BPA Perimeter vehicle provides on-demand fire retardant delivery and loading operations to the U.S. Forest Service, BLM, and BIA. The vendor's top parent vehicle by task-order count is IDC 12024B18D9025 (414 task orders, $406.8 million combined potential value), followed by AG024BC119015 (342 task orders, $38.1 million) and AG024BC119014 (235 task orders, $18.7 million). Representative 2026 delivery orders under the newest sole-source contract include a $50 million full-service fire retardant and wildland fire suppression support order (issued January 1, 2026, performance in Boise), a $33 million 2026 National Fire Retardant Contract with additional long-term retardant funding (May 14, 2026, Idaho Region), and a $20 million national retardant bulk order (January 1, 2026). Earlier work in 2024–2025 included a $69.5 million 2025 National Fire Retardant Contract modification with the Forest Service (May 5, 2025) and a $63.75 million 2024 long-term fire retardant delivery order from the Idaho Region (May 14, 2024).

Activity has remained modest in the past five years—32 awards in 2022, declining to 7 in 2023, then recovering to 25 in 2024, 9 in 2025, and 10 in 2026 (through mid-May)—but absolute dollar value remains substantial due to large delivery orders against the three IDCs. Eight awards worth $172 million face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, representing moderate recompete exposure. The vendor's sub footprint is negligible: only 10 sub-awards (less than 1% of total), all from Atlantic Diving Supply, Inc., for fire-suppression foam products in 2024. The corporate structure identifies Intelligent Manufacturing Solutions, LLC as a named subsidiary (duplicated in source data).

Perimeter Solutions' capability portfolio centers exclusively on wildland fire suppression: aerial fire retardants (including PHOS-CHEK branded products), chemical mixing and loading operations at fixed and temporary air tanker bases, bulk retardant production and staging, equipment maintenance at air tanker bases, specialized training (mix-master certification), and full-service operational support to federal agencies during fire seasons. The vendor competes as sole source or full-and-open on most contracts; the $282 million small-business-set-aside IDC is the exception, designated for small-business-set-aside task orders but representing only 6% of the vendor's combined potential value. Performance locations span Boise, Idaho (primary hub) and subordinate air tanker bases across Nevada, Utah, Colorado, Oregon, Wyoming, Montana, California, Arizona, New Mexico, and other western regions, with some Clayton, Missouri-based administrative and production support.
