Pierce Fire, LLC

Pierce Fire, LLC, a minority-owned, woman-owned, self-certified small disadvantaged business headquartered in Carson City, Nevada, operates as a prime contractor supplying wildland fire equipment, personnel, and management services to the U.S. Forest Service across the western United States. The company competes exclusively under the total small business set-aside on its parent indefinite-delivery contracts with the National Interagency Fire Center, though individual delivery orders against those IDCs frequently carry no set-aside designation once the vehicle is in place.

Pierce Fire specializes in deploying Type 1, 2, and 3 water tenders; Type 3 and 6 fire engines; tactical water tanks; and trained operator crews to support fire suppression, mop-up, prevention system installation, and all-hazard emergency response. Representative recent work includes a $562,581.57 delivery order from Forest Service Region 5 (Pacific Southwest Region) in July 2024 for wildland fire equipment and personnel services under the VIPR I-BPA vehicle, a $332,603.01 Region 5 delivery order in the same period for water handling and fire suppression resources, and a $116,100 delivery order from Region 5 in September 2026 for wildland fire equipment and operator crews. The company also delivered three Type 3 and Type 6 fire engines to the Forest Service Idaho Region in mid-2025 on purchase orders ranging from $11,954 to $53,793 each.

Customer concentration is heavily weighted toward the Forest Service. The Department of Agriculture Forest Service R5 (Pacific Southwest Region) anchors the portfolio with 37 awards and $2.6 million in combined potential value across 71% of tracked awards. The National Interagency Fire Center (part of USDA Forest Service) contributes 11 awards valued at $1.9 million. Forest Service regions 4 (Intermountain), 2 (Rocky Mountain), 6 (Pacific Northwest), and 3 (Southwestern) account for the remaining top-customer exposure. Together, these five Forest Service entities and the National Interagency Fire Center represent 84% of Pierce Fire's combined potential value across $7.6 million in total awards.

Pierce Fire holds five named parent vehicle positions, all small business set-aside IDCs with the National Interagency Fire Center. The largest is Indefinite Delivery Contract 1202SB22T7485, which has generated 33 task orders totaling $1.5 million in combined potential value. Contract 1202SB25T7717 carries 20 task orders valued at $992 thousand, and 1284M819T7108 carries 20 task orders at $667 thousand combined value. Two blanket purchase agreements—AG84M8B167053 (15 task orders, $383 thousand) and AG84M8B137152 (6 task orders, $208 thousand)—round out the vehicle footprint. All IDCs are set aside for total small businesses and permit optional usage by the Department of the Interior, National Park Service, and Bureau of Indian Affairs.

Award trajectory shows modest growth. Pierce Fire received 18 awards in 2022, dropped to 8 in 2023, recovered to 12 in 2024, then grew to 18 in 2025 and 16 in 2026 through September. Combined potential value stands at $7.6 million with $5.1 million obligated (67% execution rate). Pierce Fire operates exclusively as a prime contractor—no subcontract work appears in the source. The company's capability portfolio is narrowly focused on wildland fire suppression and water handling; support-activities-for-forestry work represents 116 of 121 awards, with fire-fighting-equipment PSC codes accounting for 3 awards and minor exposure to food service and vehicle rental.
