Rocky Mountain Fire Services, LLC

Rocky Mountain Fire Services, LLC, a woman-owned small business sole proprietorship based in Troy, Montana, operates as a prime contractor delivering wildland fire suppression equipment, personnel, and heavy machinery services to the U.S. Forest Service across multiple regional fire management operations. The company competes predominantly under total small business set-asides through Blanket Purchase Agreements (BPAs) and Indefinite Delivery Contracts (IDCs) structured by the Virtual Incident Procurement (VIPR) system, with all 56 recent awards held as prime contracts across USDA Forest Service divisions.

Rocky Mountain Fire Services has built a specialized capability footprint in on-demand wildland fire services and emergency response. The company deploys water tenders, heavy equipment operators, excavators, dump trucks, dozers, feller bunchers, road graders, and skidders to support fire suppression, prescribed fire projects, and all-hazard incident response across western U.S. Forest Service regions. Delivery orders under active IDCs have ranged from $5,700 to $96,850 in individual value. Representative recent work includes a $96,850 delivery order from Forest Service Region 1–Northern Region for wildland fire services in Libby, Montana (July 2026), a $82,792 order for fire suppression equipment deployment in Libby (August 2025), and a $92,475 order for heavy equipment and personnel support in Kalispell, Montana (August 2023).

Customer concentration is extremely high and geographically narrowed. The Department of Agriculture Forest Service Fire and Aviation Management National Interagency Fire Center accounts for 18 awards worth $4.6 million combined potential value (71% of all dollars), while the Forest Service Region 1–Northern Region holds 28 awards worth $1.6 million (representing 50% of award count but only 25% of dollars). Together these two Forest Service entities cover 89% of recent awards and 100% of combined potential value. The disparity reflects the dollar-anchor role of the National Interagency Fire Center's larger IDC vehicles relative to the higher-frequency but lower-value delivery orders issued by regional offices.

Rocky Mountain Fire Services holds ten active IDCs, all structured as total small business set-aside BPAs with firm-fixed-price ceilings ranging from $250,000 to $500,000 per vehicle and performance periods extending through May 2030. The largest vehicles by combined task-order value are Indefinite Delivery Contract 1202SB23T7495 (5 task orders, $282 thousand), Indefinite Delivery Contract 12034320T7174 (5 task orders, $159 thousand), and Indefinite Delivery Contract 1202SB22T7515 (4 task orders, $114 thousand). These vehicles cover heavy equipment deployment, water handling resources, and miscellaneous heavy equipment for USDA Forest Service Regions 1, 2, 4, and 9 (East Zone) and enable interagency use by the Department of Interior, National Park Service, and Bureau of Indian Affairs under administrative terms.

Activity shows moderate fluctuation with seven awards in 2026 year-to-date, eight in 2025, and two in 2024 (a dip from the seven-award baseline in 2022–2023). Combined potential value across all 56 prime awards totals $6.5 million, with $1.3 million obligated to date (20% of ceiling). Award dates span from September 2003 through August 2026, establishing Rocky Mountain Fire Services as an established vendor on Forest Service procurement rosters. The company operates 100% as a prime contractor with no subcontract footprint in the source data, making it a single-stream vendor dependent on Forest Service BPA and IDC utilization and on-call demand rather than on integration into larger prime contractor teams or parent vehicle consolidation.
