Superski Wildland Fire Protection LLC

Superski Wildland Fire Protection LLC, a self-certified small disadvantaged business based in Tucson, Arizona, delivers wildland fire suppression and water handling services to the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service as a prime contractor exclusively under total small business set-asides and full-and-open delivery orders. The company operates as a limited liability partnership and competes 100% as a prime on federal task orders, with no subcontract work in the current award footprint.

Superski's customer base is concentrated entirely within the Forest Service. The top five funding entities account for 94% of recent awards by count and 99% by combined potential value, with the Department of Agriculture Forest Service Fire and Aviation Management National Interagency Fire Center anchoring the largest dollar concentration ($1 million across three awards, primarily two Indefinite Delivery Contract ceiling awards valued at $250,000 and $500,000). The Forest Service Region 3 Southwestern Region dominates volume — ten awards totaling $404,000 combined potential value — reflecting the vendor's geographic focus in the southwestern United States. Regions 5 (Pacific Southwest) and 6 (Pacific Northwest) account for smaller activity ($187,000 and $50,000 respectively), and a single Idaho Region purchase order for a Type 6 fire engine adds $23,075. The tight agency concentration reflects Superski's specialization in a narrow market niche where the Forest Service sources equipment, personnel, transportation, and logistics for emergency wildland fire response and prescribed project work.

Superski holds position on two primary Indefinite Delivery Contracts issued by the National Interagency Fire Center: one valued at $250,000 (award date May 6, 2025) and a second at $500,000 (award date February 6, 2026), both running through May 6, 2030, with a combined 14 task orders drawn across the footprint ($694,000 combined potential value). A third IDC, also $250,000, was awarded February 6, 2026. The vehicles are structured as Virtual Incident Procurement Incident Blanket Purchase Agreements under total small business set-asides, supporting water handling services in Forest Service Regions 3 and 8 and permitting optional use by the Department of the Interior, National Park Service, and Bureau of Indian Affairs. Delivery orders range from $3,550 to $118,533, with performance locations spanning New Mexico, California, Arizona, and Oregon, and ultimate completion dates typically 7–30 days after award, reflecting the emergency-response nature of fire suppression dispatch.

Recent award activity shows growth year over year — eight awards in 2025 to ten in 2026 — with combined potential value of $1.7 million and $716,000 obligated to date (42% of ceiling). All 18 awards are categorized under NAICS 561730 (Support Activities for Forestry) and PSC 36 (Natural Resources/Conservation—Forest-Range Fire Suppression/Presuppression), with one purchase order for fire equipment. The vendor's capability portfolio centers on rapid deployment of specialized water handling equipment and personnel to federal fire management operations, with vendor selection prioritized on proximity to dispatch centers and ability to meet emergency response timelines.
