Embr Incident Support LLC

Embr Incident Support LLC, a minority-owned, self-certified small disadvantaged business based in Arenas Valley, New Mexico, supplies satellite communication kits and satellite service to the U.S. Forest Service as a prime contractor operating exclusively through full-and-open purchase orders with no set-aside designations.

Embr is a limited liability company and Hispanic American-owned enterprise competing entirely as a prime on small-dollar Forest Service purchase orders. The vendor holds no seats on government-wide IDIQs, GWACs, or agency-wide BPAs, and has not subcontracted on any federal awards in the source period. Recent awards cluster around satellite equipment and communications service delivery supporting wildfire response, rangeland management, and remote operations across multiple Forest Service regions.

The vendor's customer footprint is tightly concentrated within the Department of Agriculture Forest Service. Fourteen of seventeen awards (82% of the award count) flow to Forest Service regions, with 94% of combined potential value anchored in Forest Service work. The Southwestern Region (R3) leads by volume, accounting for seven awards ($153 thousand combined potential value), while the unregionalized Forest Service parent agency single award accounts for the largest dollar value: a $188.8 thousand purchase order awarded July 25, 2024, for satellite communication kits supporting the Pioneer project and multiple other Forest Service operations. The Pacific Northwest Region (R6) placed two awards ($116 thousand combined potential value), including a $89.9 thousand purchase order for Deschutes National Forest fire-support satellite kits awarded July 1, 2023, and a $25.8 thousand satellite service order for High Lava operations awarded August 1, 2026. Other regional Forest Service offices account for the remainder: the Southern Region (R8, $52.8 thousand), Rocky Mountain Region (R2, $15 thousand), Pacific Southwest Region (R5, $18 thousand), and Northern Region (R1, $24 thousand). A single $0.00 award from the National Interagency Fire Center in May 2023 appears in the source but carries no transactional value.

Award activity has declined sharply. Embr received eleven awards in 2023 (the first year in the source data), four in 2024, one in 2025, and one in 2026. Combined potential value across all seventeen awards totals $568 thousand, with 100% of that amount obligated. The concentration of volume in 2023 followed by a steep drop suggests either market saturation, recompete losses, or a shift in Forest Service procurement patterns away from Embr. Work is performed at multiple locations including Vancouver, Washington; Springerville, Arizona; Redding, California; and field operations across the Southwestern, Rocky Mountain, Pacific Southwest, Northern, and Pacific Northwest regions. The vendor competes on small purchase-order increments rather than larger vehicles, with individual orders ranging from $6,100 to $188.8 thousand and an average of roughly $33 thousand per award.
