Scott C Bambauer

Scott C Bambauer, a sole proprietor based in Sheridan, Wyoming, supplies refrigerated trailer resources and personnel support for wildfire suppression and all-hazard incident response to the U.S. Forest Service as a prime contractor under Total Small Business set-asides. All six recent awards are prime contracts, consisting of two Indefinite Delivery Contracts (IDCs) totaling $750,000 in ceiling value and four delivery orders under those IDCs worth $140,315 combined obligated value.

Bambauer operates exclusively within the Department of Agriculture's Forest Service ecosystem. The National Interagency Fire Center (Fire and Aviation Management) anchors the portfolio with two IDCs totaling $750,000 combined potential value — a $500,000 multiple-award contract awarded February 6, 2026, and a $250,000 multiple-award contract awarded June 3, 2025, both set aside for Total Small Business and extending through June 3, 2030. The Rocky Mountain Region (Region 2) has issued three delivery orders totaling $85,448 in potential value against the VIPR I-BPA framework (contract 12569R25T7465), and the Eastern Region (Region 9) issued one delivery order for $54,867. All work is performed under the Virtual Incident Procurement (VIPR) Indefinite Blanket Purchase Agreement framework, which enables on-demand resource deployment during incident response across Regions 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, and 9. Recent delivery orders include a $36,982 order from Region 2 on July 4, 2026, for incident response in Pueblo, Colorado; a $35,893 order from Region 2 on July 9, 2026, for Durango, Colorado operations; a $12,573 order from Region 2 on June 11, 2026, for Chadron, Nebraska; and a $54,867 order from Region 9 on July 26, 2026, for Duluth, Minnesota, with ultimate completion September 3, 2026.

Activity is recent and accelerating — one award in 2025, five in 2026 — with all delivery orders completed or near completion as of October 2026. Only $140,315 of the $890,000 combined potential value across all awards has been obligated, reflecting the on-demand, call-order nature of the vehicle and the short turnaround between award and completion dates. Bambauer operates under NAICS 492210 (Specialized Freight Trucking, Local) with secondary exposure under trailer leasing codes. The vendor has no subcontractor footprint and no parent vehicle seats outside the VIPR framework.
