Pine West LLC

Pine West LLC, doing business as Centerfire Outfitters, is a small business sole proprietorship based in Prineville, Oregon, that provides heavy equipment, trained personnel, and outfitter services for wildland fire suppression, prescribed fire management, and land stewardship operations to the Department of Agriculture Forest Service as a prime contractor on total small business set-aside IDIQs and delivery orders. The vendor operates exclusively under set-asides — 100% of its recent award footprint carries total small business set-aside designations — and has held five active Indefinite Delivery Contracts (IDCs) with the National Interagency Fire Center and Forest Service Region 6, each with $250,000 to $500,000 ceilings running through 2029 and 2030.

Pine West's customer concentration is heavily skewed toward a single agency and region. The Department of Agriculture Forest Service accounts for 98% of recent awards by count and dollar value, with the Forest Service Region 6 (Pacific Northwest Region) anchoring 37 awards valued at $3.4 million combined potential value and the National Interagency Fire Center adding nine awards valued at $3.3 million. The only material secondary customer is the Department of the Interior Bureau of Land Management Idaho Region, which has placed two purchase orders for heavy equipment ($248 thousand combined). This concentration sits beneath the single agency, within a single federal bureau, and within a single geographic region — decision-relevant for competitive positioning and recompete exposure. Pine West drew its first award from this customer base in 2006, indicating two decades of sustained relationship.

The vendor's capability portfolio centers on fire-suppression and land-management equipment and personnel. Concrete work includes $269,100 delivery order (July 31, 2024, Region 6) for unspecified heavy equipment and services supporting forest management and wildfire response; a $449,150 delivery order (August 31, 2025, Region 6, Springfield, Oregon) for heavy equipment and personnel under the Virtual Incident Procurement (VIPR) I-BPA system; a $168,875 purchase order (June 1, 2025, Department of Interior Idaho Region) for a Type 2 Road Grader; and a $79,350 purchase order (June 1, 2025, Idaho Region) for a Type 2 Skidder. Equipment provided includes dozers, excavators, road graders, and skidders, typically deployed in 16-hour daily-shift configurations with trained personnel, transportation, lodging, and certification services. Recent delivery orders under the five IDCs show task values ranging from $12,450 to $449,150, nearly all in the $30,000 to $150,000 band.

Activity has grown year over year from three awards in 2022 to eighteen in 2024, though contract count softened in 2025 and 2026 (twelve and ten awards respectively). The combined potential value across all 54 awards is $7.1 million, with $3.8 million obligated (54% execution rate). All five IDCs held by Pine West carry firm fixed-price terms and total small business set-asides; the two newest IDCs awarded in February 2026 carry $500,000 ceilings, while three earlier vehicles awarded between June 2023 and July 2025 hold $250,000 ceilings. The top two parent vehicles — IDC 12569R23T7837 with fourteen task orders ($901 thousand) and IDC 1204H124T7222 with thirteen task orders ($1.4 million) — account for just over half of recent task-order volume. Approximately four awards with combined value around $500,000 are completing in the next twenty-four months (ultimate completion dates in September and October 2026 are now current or imminent as of October 15, 2026), creating immediate recompete exposure. The vendor holds no subcontract footprint; all work is prime. The vendor's NAICS concentration sits at Support Activities for Forestry (54 awards), with nearly all work coded to PSC Natural Resources/Conservation Forest-Range Fire Suppression/Presuppression. Pine West registered in SAM in 2004, indicating continuity across two decades of federal engagement in the Pacific Northwest wildfire-response ecosystem.
