Rogue River Fire, Water And Building, Inc.

Rogue River Fire, Water And Building, Inc., doing business as Rogue River Fire And Water, is a small-business prime contractor based in Grants Pass, Oregon, that supplies wildland fire suppression equipment, water handling infrastructure, certified equipment operators, and facilities maintenance services to the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service and the Department of the Interior on a full-and-open (non-set-aside) basis, with recent awards totaling $14.7 million in combined potential value across 184 delivery orders and indefinite delivery contracts.

The vendor operates almost exclusively under the National Interagency Fire Center's Virtual Incident Procurement (VIPR) system, a federal emergency-response purchasing mechanism that issues multiple-award blanket purchase agreements and IDIQs valued at $250,000 to $500,000 per vehicle, each set aside for total small business competition. The company holds 15 active VIPR I-BPA and IDC positions covering distinct asset classes—heavy equipment task forces, water handling equipment, refrigerated trailers, potable and gray water trucks with handwashing stations, chippers and crews, miscellaneous heavy equipment, and vehicles with drivers—across Forest Service Regions 5 and 6 (Pacific Southwest and Pacific Northwest regions), with performance periods extending through 2031. Under these vehicles, Rogue River Fire And Water issues firm fixed-price delivery orders on an as-needed basis to support wildland fire suppression, all-hazard incident response, and prescribed project work. Representative awards include a $168,513 delivery order for fire engines, water tenders, chippers, refrigerated trailers, and certified operators (Region 6, July 2024); a $89,322 delivery order for similar equipment and personnel (July 2024); and a $51,637.50 delivery order for wildland fire suppression and emergency response resources in Prineville, Oregon (July 2026).

Customer concentration sits almost entirely within the Forest Service. The Department of Agriculture Forest Service Fire and Aviation Management National Interagency Fire Center leads by potential value (34 awards, $7.8 million), while the Forest Service Region 6 (Pacific Northwest Region) dominates by award count (119 awards, $5.6 million combined potential value). Together, these two funding offices account for 95% of awards and 98% of combined potential value. The Department of the Interior Bureau of Land Management Oregon-Washington represents the only material secondary customer (12 awards, $764 thousand). Within the top parent vehicles, the Blanket Purchase Agreement AG04H1B167325 carries 25 task orders valued at $770 thousand, while five IDCs (numbered 1204H119T7316, 1202SB22T7394, 1202SB21T7670, 1204H118T7201, and others) account for a combined 45 task orders with $1.4 million in potential value. Award activity has remained steady—nine to eleven awards per year from 2022 through 2024, declining to seven in 2025 before recovering to ten in 2026. The vendor operates as a 100% prime contractor with no subcontract footprint in the source data.

Capability offerings span equipment rental, personnel deployment, and facilities support. The company supplies Type 3, 4, and 6 fire engines, water tenders, heavy equipment such as dozers and excavators, chippers, refrigerated trailers, potable and gray water trucks, handwashing stations, and portable toilets, as well as certified equipment operators. All work is performed on firm fixed-price terms, with delivery orders typically scoped for 16-hour daily shift operations. The VIPR system's pre-competed pricing and blanket purchase agreement terms enable regional dispatch centers to issue task orders without additional competition, enabling rapid emergency-response resource acquisition. Rogue River Fire And Water has maintained continuous SAM.gov registration since 2004 and has established itself as a consistent vendor to the Forest Service across western regions (Regions 3, 5, and 6 coverage across Oregon, Washington, and California). The vendor's positioning on multiple regional VIPR vehicles provides access to emergency dispatch ordering across Forest Service and cooperating agency (Department of the Interior, National Park Service, Bureau of Indian Affairs) procurement channels.
