Special Operations Group, Inc.

Special Operations Group, Inc., doing business as Special Operations Group Inc., is a for-profit manufacturer based in Reading, Pennsylvania that supplies equipment, mobile sleeper units, trailers, trucks, and certified personnel to the USDA Forest Service for wildland fire suppression and all-hazard incident response operations, competing as a prime contractor exclusively under total small business set-asides on a significant portion of its federal footprint and without set-aside designation on another substantial share.

Special Operations Group holds two active Indefinite Delivery Contracts with the USDA Forest Service's National Interagency Fire Center—one valued at $500,000 awarded in February 2026 and another at $250,000 awarded in May 2024, both extending through May 16, 2029—that enable task order issuance across Forest Service Regions 3, 4, 5, and 6 for mobile sleeper units and related emergency response equipment. The company operates across 320 prime federal contract awards totaling $32.2 million in combined potential value, with $26.1 million obligated (81% of potential). The largest customer concentration sits with the Department of Agriculture Forest Service's Pacific Southwest Region (Region 5), which accounts for 145 awards valued at $13.9 million—45% of the award count and 43% of combined potential value. The USDA Forest Service Fire and Aviation Management program drives another $6.1 million across 53 awards; Region 6 (Pacific Northwest) contributes $3.7 million over 45 awards; and Region 3 (Southwestern) and the National Interagency Fire Center together add $2.9 million. The vendor serves 14 distinct federal customer agencies, though the Forest Service dominates the portfolio decisively. Recent activity has accelerated: the company received 70 awards in 2024, 32 in 2025, and 45 in 2026 (through September 5).

Work is priced firm fixed-price and supports wildland fire and emergency response operations across USDA Forest Service regions, with places of performance spanning California (Solvang, Clovis, Grass Valley, and other locations), Oregon (Wenatchee, Sandy, Lakeview), Arizona, Utah, Colorado, Idaho, and Washington. The company's NAICS footprint clusters heavily on Support Activities for Forestry (229 awards) and All Other Consumer Goods Rental (64 awards), with the corresponding PSC code Natural Resources/Conservation—Forest-Range Fire Suppression/Presuppression dominating 311 awards. Recent representative awards include total small business set-aside delivery orders from USDA Forest Service Region 6 in August and September 2026 valued between $3,674 and $210,000 each, and full-and-open delivery orders from Region 5 in 2025 and early 2026 ranging from $31,350 to $651,168.
