Southern Solutions LLC

Southern Solutions LLC, a small business sole proprietorship based in Eugene, Oregon, provides water handling equipment and trained personnel for fire suppression and all-hazard incident response to the Department of Agriculture Forest Service and the National Interagency Fire Center exclusively. The vendor operates as a prime contractor on 100% of recent federal awards, all under Total Small Business set-asides, with no subcontract footprint.

Southern Solutions' capability portfolio centers narrowly on fire suppression logistics — Type 3 and 6 engines, support water tenders (Types 1, 2, and 3), and trained personnel for regional and nationwide incident response. Representative awards include delivery orders from EPA Region 5 and Region 6 for environmental and emergency response support services (three delivery orders in August 2025 valued at $161,999.73 each), a $250,000 multiple-award IDIQ from the USDA Forest Service for water handling in Region 5 (Pacific Southwest) running through June 2030, and a $250,000 multiple-award IDIQ from the National Interagency Fire Center for water handling in East Zone Regions 1, 2, 4, and 9 running through July 2030.

Customer concentration is absolute and single-agency: the Department of Agriculture Forest Service and its subordinate National Interagency Fire Center account for 100% of awards across all rankings. The Forest Service R5 Pacific Southwest Region leads by award count (9 awards, $1.1 million combined potential value), while the National Interagency Fire Center anchors the largest dollar share (4 awards, $1.3 million combined potential value). Regionally, the vendor serves Pacific Southwest, Rocky Mountain, and Pacific Northwest zones. Southern Solutions holds three active indefinite delivery contracts: IDC 129J6125T7285 with 8 task orders ($1.1 million combined potential value), IDC 129J6126T7180 with 5 task orders ($517 thousand combined potential value), and IDC 12024B26T7818 with 1 task order ($39 thousand combined potential value).

Activity has grown sharply — five awards in 2025 to thirteen in 2026 — and the vendor carries $2.9 million in combined potential value across 18 prime awards. The combined portfolio sits at $1.6 million obligated (57% of potential value). All awards are categorized under NAICS Support Activities for Forestry and PSC Natural Resources/Conservation — Forest-Range Fire Suppression/Presuppression, reflecting a vertically specialized vendor with no horizontal IT, logistics, or professional-services exposure outside the fire suppression domain.
