Phillips, Linda Transport Wildfire Division, doing business as Transport Wildfire, is a woman-owned small disadvantaged business located in Hermiston, Oregon, registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) since February 2017. The company specializes in providing transportation and support services primarily to federal wildfire and emergency response agencies, with a primary focus on vehicle and driver services for wildfire suppression efforts. As a sole proprietorship structured as a limited liability company, Transport Wildfire has established itself as a critical support vendor for wildfire management and emergency response operations in western United States regions.

The company has been awarded multiple federal contracts through the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service Pacific Northwest Region and the National Interagency Fire Center, primarily delivering wildfire transport and stakeside services. These contracts, ranging in value from $4,153 to $26,490, have supported firefighting efforts across New Mexico, Oregon, and Washington. The contracts are consistently firm fixed-price delivery orders or purchase orders, with no specific set-aside designations. Transport Wildfire provides critical transportation infrastructure, including pickup trucks, vans, and sport utility vehicles with drivers, to support fire suppression and all-hazard incident response capabilities for federal agencies.

Transport Wildfire holds an Indefinite Delivery Contract (IDC) with the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service, awarded on June 8, 2023, with a ceiling value of $250,000 and a performance period extending to June 8, 2028. This small business set-aside contract is specifically designed to provide vehicle and driver services for wildfire suppression and emergency response in Forest Service Regions 5 and 6, covering the western United States. The IDC allows Transport Wildfire to compete for task orders providing vehicles with drivers to assist in emergency response and wildfire mitigation efforts, building upon the company's established track record of supporting federal wildfire management operations through flexible, responsive transportation services.
