Rocky Mountain Fire Suppression LLC

Rocky Mountain Fire Suppression LLC, a Native American-owned and veteran-owned small business based in Cascade, Montana, operates as a prime contractor delivering wildland fire suppression services and equipment to the U.S. Forest Service across nine federal regions and the National Interagency Fire Center. The company competes predominantly under total small business set-asides on its underlying indefinite delivery contracts but issues most individual delivery orders without set-aside designation, and holds DOT certification as a disadvantaged business enterprise and SBA certifications as both a Veteran-Owned Small Business and Service Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business.

Rocky Mountain Fire Suppression's capability portfolio centers on wildland fire suppression resources: type 2–6 fire engines, type 2–3 water tenders, water handling equipment and services, trained firefighting personnel, and emergency response logistics across Western states. Representative work includes a $186,966 delivery order from Forest Service Region 6 (Pacific Northwest) awarded August 9, 2026, for firefighting vehicles and water handling in Pendleton, Oregon; a $112,729.50 delivery order from Forest Service Region 2 (Rocky Mountain) awarded July 6, 2026, for suppression resources in Pueblo, Colorado; and a $102,267 delivery order from Forest Service Region 5 (Pacific Southwest) awarded August 17, 2023, for water handling and engines across multiple Western states. The source indicates the company has provided fire suppression support to the Forest Service since 2004.

Customer concentration is extreme. The Department of Agriculture Forest Service dominates all activity: Forest Service Region 1 (Northern Region) accounts for 52 awards valued at $2.2 million (39% of combined potential value), and the Fire and Aviation Management National Interagency Fire Center carries 22 awards valued at $1.6 million. Together, these two customer nodes represent 57 awards and $3.8 million—approximately 68% of all revenue—with subordinate exposure to Forest Service Regions 2, 5, 6, and the agency's corporate level, plus minor engagement with the Department of Interior Bureau of Land Management Montana-Dakotas. The vendor has worked with eleven distinct agencies, but portfolio concentration is singularly Forest Service–driven.

Rocky Mountain Fire Suppression holds three active indefinite delivery contracts, all designated as total small business set-asides and managed through the National Interagency Fire Center for water handling services. The primary vehicle, Indefinite Delivery Contract 1202SB22T7521 (awarded June 1, 2022, ceiling $250,000), has generated 36 task orders valued at $1.3 million. A second contract, 12034319T7127 (ceiling $250,000), carries 27 task orders worth $851 thousand. A third and most recent vehicle, 1202SB25T7656 (awarded May 30, 2025, ceiling $250,000, extending through May 30, 2030), has yielded 16 task orders valued at $805 thousand. These IDCs cover East Zone regions 1, 2, 4, and 9 with optional use extending to Department of Interior, National Park Service, and Bureau of Indian Affairs interagency cooperators. The vendor also places orders under two blanket purchase agreements managed by the Forest Service: AG0343B167129 (14 task orders, $585 thousand) and AG0343B107218 (7 task orders, $279 thousand).

Activity has grown significantly. The vendor completed 11 awards in 2022, dropped to 4 in 2023, rebounded to 24 in 2024, recorded 13 in 2025, and 9 through late August 2026. The combined potential value across 129 prime awards is $5.6 million, with $4.4 million obligated (78% realization). No recompete cliff detail is present in the source, though the IDCs themselves span multi-year periods and are subject to annual government review for potential contractor or resource additions. Work is performed nationwide (CONUS and some Western OCONUS performance sites) with administrative oversight at Montana and regional Forest Service offices. The vendor operates exclusively as a prime contractor with no subcontract footprint in the disclosed award portfolio.

Category concentration is extreme: 122 of 129 awards fall under NAICS Support Activities for Forestry and PSC Natural Resources/Conservation—Forest-Range Fire Suppression/Presuppression. Five awards touch equipment rental (utility trailers and motor vehicles), and two address site preparation. This specialization leaves Rocky Mountain Fire Suppression with narrow federal exposure—entirely within wildland fire suppression and almost entirely within a single agency and its regional structure.
