RX Fire Effects LLC

RX Fire Effects LLC, a self-certified small disadvantaged and veteran-owned business based in Weyers Cave, Virginia, provides prescribed burning, mechanical and chemical vegetation treatment, hazardous fuels reduction, and related wildland fire management services to the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service and the National Interagency Fire Center as a prime contractor operating across multiple Forest Service regions and fire management zones nationwide.

The company competes predominantly under total small business set-asides, with roughly 95% of recent awards by count falling into this category, though a material share of recent delivery orders have been awarded without set-asides once underlying IDVs were established. RX Fire Effects LLC is characterized by NAICS 115310 (Support Activities for Forestry) across the majority of its work and PSC code R425 (Natural Resources/Conservation—Forest-Range Fire Suppression/Presuppression).

Customer concentration is acute and functionally singular. The Department of Agriculture Forest Service accounts for 95% of awards by count and substantially all dollar value. Within that agency, the Forest Service Southern Region (R8) dominates: 110 awards for $8.1 million combined potential value represent the largest single customer by count. However, potential value is skewed sharply upward by a single $50 million Land Management Integrated Resources Blanket Purchase Agreement awarded by the Forest Service Washington Office Acquisitions function on February 16, 2024, running through March 6, 2033. That vehicle alone accounts for 71% of the company's combined potential value across all awards. The National Interagency Fire Center ranks second with 16 awards valued at $11 million combined potential, primarily Virtual Incident Procurement Incident Blanket Purchase Agreements for water handling, heavy equipment, faller services, chipper services, and emergency medical responder capabilities across specified regions, each carrying $250 thousand ceilings. The remaining customer agencies—Forest Service regional offices, Pacific Southwest Region (8 awards, $343 thousand), and the Department of Interior Bureau of Land Management Idaho Region (3 awards, $93 thousand)—are minor by both count and value.

RX Fire Effects LLC holds a multi-layered vehicle portfolio anchored by the $50 million single-award Land Management Integrated Resources BPA with the Forest Service Washington Office, which has generated task orders for prescribed burning, vegetation management, post-fire assessments, invasive species treatment, reforestation, and habitat improvement across all regions. Under that vehicle and related Forest Service IDIQs, the company has placed 55 task orders valued at $1.4 million under contract 1202SB22T7529 (the $4 million single-award IDIQ with the Southern Region awarded May 15, 2023, running through May 14, 2028), 12 task orders valued at $1.2 million under contract 1202SB23T7191, and 11 task orders valued at $390 thousand under contract 1202SB25T7359. The company also holds multiple Virtual Incident Procurement Incident Blanket Purchase Agreements through the National Interagency Fire Center for water handling services in Regions 3 and 8 and East Zone Regions 1, 2, 4, and 9 ($250 thousand each, awarded February 2026 and May 2025 through 2030); heavy equipment for Regions 3 and 8 ($250 thousand, awarded May 2, 2023, through May 2, 2028); faller services for East Zone Regions 1, 2, and 4 ($250 thousand, awarded June 3, 2025, and February 6, 2026 through 2030); chipper services for East Zone Regions 1, 2, and 4 ($250 thousand, awarded April 30 and February 6, 2026 through 2030); emergency medical responder services for Region 13 nationally ($250 thousand, awarded May 28, 2024 and February 6, 2026 through 2029); and a $7.5 million Incident Blanket Purchase Agreement for multipurpose utility vehicles (awarded September 6, 2022, through December 31, 2026).

Recent activity has remained steady but shows modulation: 24 awards in 2022, 41 in 2023, 34 in 2024, 32 in 2025, and 16 year-to-date through June 2026 (a partial year). Only one award carries an ultimate completion date within the next twenty-four months (combined potential value $22 thousand), reflecting the vendor's heavy reliance on long-duration IDV vehicles and delivery orders with extended performance windows that run through 2028, 2029, 2030, and beyond. The vendor operates exclusively as a prime contractor; no sub-award work appears in the source data.

The company's concrete service portfolio, grounded in named task orders, centers on prescribed fire planning and execution, mechanical vegetation treatment (including masticator and boom-mounted equipment operation), chemical herbicide application for invasive species control, site preparation, reforestation (including containerized shortleaf pine planting), timber stand improvement, post-fire assessments, wildlife habitat restoration, and emergency equipment provision (Type 6 engines, Type 3 dozers, Type 2 and Type 3 chippers, utility terrain vehicles, tender water support, and excavators). Individual delivery orders have ranged from $2.5 thousand to over $584 thousand, with the largest concentrated in the Southern Region under contracts supporting hazardous fuels reduction, ecological restoration, and post-fire rehabilitation on national forests across Virginia, North Carolina, Georgia, and adjacent states. Work is performed at domestic forest locations across the CONUS, with administrative oversight at Weyers Cave, Virginia and operational presence noted at Blacksburg, Virginia and multiple Forest Service regional offices.
