Pino One, LLC

Pino One, LLC, a minority-owned, woman-owned, and Hispanic American-owned small business based in Tularosa, New Mexico, operates as a prime contractor providing water handling equipment, transportation, lodging, materials, and certified personnel to support wildland fire suppression and all-hazard incident response for the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service and the National Interagency Fire Center, competing predominantly under total small business set-asides.

The company's entire 66-award footprint spans prime contracts only (100% of awards), with no subcontract activity. Work is concentrated in support activities for forestry under NAICS 541900 and natural resources conservation PSC 43-43-40. Pino One operates exclusively as a small business set-aside prime across IDCs and incident blanket purchase agreements established through the Virtual Incident Procurement (VIPR) system, enabling rapid procurement of emergency response resources across multiple Forest Service regions. Representative delivery orders include a $121,900 Competitive Small Business award from USDA Forest Service Region 2 (Rocky Mountain) in July 2026 for water handling equipment and personnel in support of wildland fire suppression, a $110,000 firm fixed-price delivery order from Region 6 (Pacific Northwest) in July 2024 for similar support services, and a $102,000 award from Region 5 (Pacific Southwest) in August 2023 for water handling and certified personnel in wildfire response.

Customer concentration is heavily concentrated within the Forest Service ecosystem. The top five customer agencies account for 85% of awards by count and 93% of combined potential value, dominated by the National Interagency Fire Center (14 awards, $2.2 million combined potential value) and Forest Service Region 3–Southwestern Region (24 awards, $932 thousand combined potential value). Region 2–Rocky Mountain Region ranks third with 10 awards worth $780 thousand. Pino One holds six active VIPR I-BPA IDC vehicles: two multiple-award contracts awarded February 2026 with $500,000 ceilings each for Regions 3 and 8 (water handling services) and East Zone Regions 1, 2, 4, and 9; two multiple-award contracts awarded May–June 2025 with $250,000 ceilings each for Regions 3 and 8 and East Zone Regions 1, 2, 4, and 9; and two legacy multiple-award IDCs awarded June 2022 with $250,000 ceilings each for West Zone Regions 3, 5, 6, and 10 and East Zone Regions 1, 2, 4, 8, and 9, expiring May 2025 and May 2030 respectively. Task orders under these vehicles account for 52 awards totaling approximately $1.8 million combined potential value, with the BPA AG8371B167032 carrying 17 task orders worth $400 thousand and IDC 1202SB22T7488 carrying 8 task orders worth $461 thousand.

Activity has remained flat to declining over the past five years—8 awards in 2022, declining to 4 awards in 2026 (year-to-date through July). The cumulative footprint carries $4.7 million combined potential value with $2.1 million obligated (44% utilization). Six awards with ultimate completion dates in the next twenty-four months represent recompete exposure, though the source does not provide the combined value of imminent expiring work. Pino One's entire business model centers on supplying water handling resources and emergency personnel to Forest Service regions through VIPR procurement vehicles, with no diversification into other customer agencies or capability areas in the award record.
