Preston Mad Plume

Preston Mad Plume, a Native American-owned sole proprietorship based in Polson, Montana, supplies faller services for wildland firefighting and hazard tree removal to the National Interagency Fire Center under three Total Small Business set-aside indefinite-delivery contracts. The vendor operates exclusively as a prime contractor on forestry support work classified under NAICS 238910 (Support Activities for Forestry) and PSC Natural Resources/Conservation — Forest-Range Fire Suppression/Presuppression.

Preston Mad Plume holds 100% customer concentration with the Department of Agriculture Forest Service Fire and Aviation Management National Interagency Fire Center across all three recent awards. The vendor won a $250,000 ceiling firm fixed-price multiple-award indefinite-delivery contract on July 13, 2023, and two additional firm fixed-price contracts on February 6, 2026, carrying ceilings of $250,000 and $500,000 respectively. All three contracts cover faller services for the East Zone encompassing Regions 1, 2, and 4, with periods of performance extending through July 13, 2028. The contracts function as blanket purchase agreements within the multiple-award framework, enabling the National Interagency Fire Center to issue delivery orders for tree felling, hazard removal, and fuel reduction work as operational fire suppression and forest management needs arise across the designated eastern regions.

Preston Mad Plume's activity spans three awards since July 2023, with combined potential value of $1 million. The vendor faces no recompete exposure within the next twenty-four months; all three contracts terminate on July 13, 2028, placing the recompete window beyond that horizon. The vendor holds no position on government-wide vehicles, BPAs with other agencies, or multi-agency vehicles — the portfolio consists entirely of direct task-order work under National Interagency Fire Center solicitations on Total Small Business set-asides.
