Pershing Volunteer Fire Company

Pershing Volunteer Fire Company, a tax-exempt nonprofit limited liability company based in Barnsdall, Oklahoma, provides fire suppression and extended attack services exclusively as a prime contractor to the Department of the Interior's Bureau of Indian Affairs on tribal lands and Indian wildlands in Oklahoma. The vendor operates under a single-award Blanket Purchase Agreement mechanism with no subcontractors, serving two regional offices of BIA with 92 awards totaling $465 thousand in combined potential value across recent years.

Pershing's customer base is entirely concentrated within the Department of Interior's Bureau of Indian Affairs. The Eastern Oklahoma Region dominates the footprint with 82 awards ($447 thousand combined potential value), while the Southern Plains Region accounts for 8 awards ($18 thousand). This 98% concentration in BIA Eastern Oklahoma reflects the vendor's role as the agency's primary emergency response resource for fire protection on tribal trust lands in that region. Work is performed in Barnsdall, Oklahoma, with fire suppression pricing fixed at $800 per call since 2023, supplemented by variable extended attack rates ranging from $250 to $3,040 depending on incident scope and duration.

Pershing holds four primary BPAs, all single-award vehicles issued by the Department of Interior. The largest vehicle by task-order count is BPA INA12PA00378, which carries 27 task orders totaling $62 thousand; BPA 140A0823A0009, the most recent agreement awarded February 21, 2023, runs through February 15, 2028 with a $250 thousand ceiling and has generated 20 task orders worth $55 thousand. The other two vehicles, BPA INIBAG00090002 and BPA 140A0818A0001, support 21 and 20 task orders respectively. Recent task orders from 2023 forward illustrate the monthly cadence: a May 2026 call for seven fire suppression calls at $5,600; a March–April 2026 call for three calls at $2,400; and a March 2025 task order combining four suppression calls and four extended attacks for $6,240. Activity has remained flat at three to six awards annually since 2022, with seven awards scheduled for ultimate completion in the next twenty-four months (combined potential value $16 thousand), representing routine BPA task-order turnover rather than significant recompete exposure.

The vendor operates without set-aside designations on all work, competing under full-and-open procurements. All 92 awards are mapped to NAICS fire protection work and PSC natural resources/conservation forest-range fire suppression, with no diversification into other service lines or customer agencies. Pershing's engagement with BIA is operationally exclusive — the vendor has no federal prime awards outside the two BIA regions, no subcontract footprint, and no parent contract vehicles shared across agencies.
