Rocky Mountain Fire Suppression LLC

Rocky Mountain Fire Suppression LLC is a small, Native American-owned limited liability company based in Cascade, Montana, specializing in providing wildland fire suppression services and equipment to federal agencies. Registered in SAM.gov since 2004, the company is structured as a limited liability partnership and offers services as a for-profit organization with DOT Certified DBE and Native American ownership credentials. The company primarily serves the U.S. Forest Service by supplying critical wildland fire management resources, including specialized firefighting equipment, water handling services, and trained personnel across multiple Western states.

Through numerous federal contract awards, Rocky Mountain Fire Suppression LLC has consistently provided a wide range of wildland fire suppression resources to the U.S. Forest Service. These resources include type 2-6 fire engines, type 2-3 water tenders, water handling services, and other specialized vehicles essential for emergency response and wildfire management. The contract awards, predominantly from the Forest Service's regional offices (including Regions 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6), have ranged in value from a few thousand dollars to over $100,000. The delivery orders are typically firm fixed price contracts without specific set-aside designations, though the company has been awarded two separate indefinite delivery contracts with total small business set-asides.

Rocky Mountain Fire Suppression LLC holds two significant Indefinite Delivery Contracts (IDCs) with the U.S. Forest Service, each with a $250,000 ceiling value. These IDCs, managed through the National Interagency Fire Center, are specifically focused on providing water handling equipment, materials, supplies, transportation, and trained personnel to support fire suppression and all-hazard incidents. The contracts cover East Zone regions 1, 2, 4, and 9, and are designated as total small business set-asides. The IDCs allow for the issuance of firm fixed price delivery orders, enabling the Forest Service to rapidly deploy critical firefighting resources in response to urgent water handling needs during active wildfire incidents. These contracts were originally solicited through the Virtual Incident Procurement (VIPR) system, with the government evaluating vendors based on their ability to provide timely, comprehensive water handling support across the designated regions.
