Quick Response Fire & Environmental, LLC

Quick Response Fire & Environmental, LLC, a minority-owned and woman-owned small business based in Kooskia, Idaho, provides wildland firefighting equipment, prescribed fire and support services, and environmental management resources to the U.S. Forest Service and National Interagency Fire Center as a prime contractor operating exclusively under total small business set-asides. The company is structured as a limited liability partnership and competes across total small business IDIQs and blanket purchase agreements, with no subcontracting footprint across its federal portfolio.

The company's capability portfolio centers on specialized wildland firefighting and forest management services. Representative prime awards include a $7.5 million multiple-award indefinite-delivery contract from the Forest Service Rocky Mountain Research Station for prescribed fire and support services across Intermountain Region national forests (awarded September 2025, through September 2028), covering prescribed burning, fuel management, fireline construction, and contingency fire suppression support with resources including 20-person, 10-person, and 5-person prescribed fire modules, engines, water and fuel tenders, dozers, pumpercats, and air curtain burners. Quick Response also holds multiple $250 thousand to $500 thousand IDIQs with the National Interagency Fire Center for heavy equipment with water, potable and gray water trucks with handwashing stations, and water handling equipment across Forest Service Regions 1, 2, 4, 8, and 9 (all awarded or renewed in February 2025 and May 2024 under total small business set-asides, extending through 2028–2030). Task orders under these vehicles include a $140 thousand delivery order from Forest Service Region 4 (Intermountain) in August 2024 for Type 3 fire engines, water trucks, and specialty vehicles including skidgines and soft tracks, and a $61 thousand delivery order from Region 4 in August 2026 for wildland firefighting equipment and personnel support.

Customer concentration is extreme and focused within the Department of Agriculture Forest Service apparatus. The top five customer entities account for 77% of awards and 98% of combined potential value. The Forest Service Rocky Mountain Research Station anchors dollar concentration with 8 awards totaling $11.1 million in potential value, primarily the $7.5 million prescribed fire IDIQ; the National Interagency Fire Center places 18 awards worth $3.5 million in combined potential value; Forest Service Region 1 (Northern) accounts for 19 awards valued at $1.3 million; Region 4 (Intermountain) holds 11 awards totaling $543 thousand; and Forest Service Region 5 (Pacific Southwest) places 4 awards worth $121 thousand. The company has worked with nine distinct federal agencies in recent award activity but is operationally dominated by Forest Service variants across six regional offices and the national fire center.

Quick Response holds a deep bench of parent vehicles, all firm fixed-price total small business IDIQs and BPAs. The top vehicles by task-order count include IDC 1202SB22T7156 (10 task orders, $430 thousand combined potential value), IDC 1284M819T7155 (5 task orders, $190 thousand), IDC 12034319T7114 (4 task orders, $148 thousand), BPA AG0343B167112 (4 task orders, $88 thousand), and IDC 1202SB21T7378 (3 task orders, $49 thousand). These vehicles span the National Interagency Fire Center and regional Forest Service offices. The company's primary NAICS classification is Support Activities for Forestry (76 awards), with PSC coding concentrated in Natural Resources/Conservation Forest-Range Fire Suppression/Presuppression (68 awards) and Fire Fighting Equipment (4 awards).

Activity shows cyclical volatility rather than sustained growth trajectory: ten awards in 2022, three in 2023, nine in 2024, seven in 2025, and six awarded through August 2026. The recompete exposure in the next twenty-four months is minimal — only one award with an ultimate completion date inside that window carries $3 thousand in potential value — reflecting the long-tail performance schedules on the company's large prescribed fire and support IDIQ awarded in September 2025 (due September 2028) and extended renewal of smaller equipment-supply IDIQs running through 2028–2030. Obligated dollars across all awards total $2.1 million against $16.9 million in combined potential value (12% realization rate), indicating that most vehicle ceilings remain unexercised or partially exercised. The company has held federal contracts since 2006 and maintains active small business certifications across the Forest Service incident procurement ecosystem, positioning it as an established provider for seasonal and all-hazard wildfire response across western Forest Service regions.
