Rock, Snow & Fire, LLC

Rock, Snow & Fire, LLC, a for-profit limited liability company based in Aurora, Minnesota, operates exclusively as a small business prime contractor delivering construction, road maintenance, equipment rental, and wildland fire suppression services to the USDA Forest Service and the National Interagency Fire Center under total small business set-asides. The vendor holds no subcontract awards and competes entirely under set-aside vehicles reserved for small businesses.

The vendor's federal footprint is concentrated within the Department of Agriculture across two customer entities: USDA Forest Service Region 9 (Eastern Region) accounts for 144 awards totaling $36.2 million in combined potential value, while the Fire and Aviation Management National Interagency Fire Center accounts for 12 awards totaling $3.4 million. Rock, Snow & Fire operates 100% within these two customer agencies, with all 157 prime awards placed as delivery orders, blanket purchase agreement calls, or purchase orders against indefinite delivery contracts.

Capability work centers on forest road construction and maintenance, including permanent and emergency road repairs on Superior National Forest roads in northeastern Minnesota. Representative work includes a $338,515 delivery order (awarded August 2026) under the Superior National Forest Construction IDIQ for surface and emergency forest road repairs involving traffic control, culvert removal and replacement, gravel hauling and spreading, vegetation clearing, bridge removals, and road decommissioning at Cook, Minnesota; a $190,427 delivery order (awarded August 2025) for emergency repairs on seven Superior National Forest roads near Ely, Minnesota; and a $43,437.50 BPA call (awarded May 2026) under the Northeast Zone Region 9 Roads BPA for road repairs on the Superior National Forest Lacroix Ranger District. Beyond road work, the vendor supplies water tender equipment (Type 1 and Type 2), heavy equipment including excavators, graders, dozers, and amphibious vehicles for fire suppression and emergency response.

Rock, Snow & Fire holds multiple parent vehicles anchoring its portfolio. The Superior National Forest Construction IDIQ, a $7.001 million single-award vehicle running through August 20, 2028, carries 30 task orders totaling $839 thousand in combined potential value. The Northeast Zone Region 9 Roads Blanket Purchase Agreement, a multiple-award BPA running through March 31, 2032, carries 15 task orders totaling $481 thousand. The National Interagency Fire Center awarded four water handling and heavy equipment Indefinite Delivery Contracts (IDCs) structured as Virtual Incident Procurement Incident Blanket Purchase Agreements covering Regions 1, 2, 4, and 9 (East Zone), each $250,000 to $500,000 in ceiling and running through 2028–2030. These fire support contracts carry 16 task orders totaling $242 thousand (combined baseline across all four vehicles). The vendor operates primarily under NAICS 541370 (Support Activities for Forestry) and 238110 (Highway, Street, and Bridge Construction), with PSC codes concentrated in Natural Resources/Conservation and forestry fire suppression.

Activity has grown consistently — six awards in 2022 to 25 in both 2025 and 2026 — representing expansion in annual volume. Five awards (combined potential value $685 thousand) reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and therefore face recompete exposure. The vendor's obligated dollars stand at $4.5 million against a $39.6 million combined potential value across all awards, indicating a pattern of smaller individual task orders against larger standing vehicles. Rock, Snow & Fire operates exclusively within Region 9 and the National Interagency Fire Center's East Zone footprint; the source carries no awards from other federal agencies, other Forest Service regions, or defense customers.
