Talbott Enterprises LLC

Talbott Enterprises LLC, doing business as Boulder Creek Wildfire, is a woman-owned small business based in Middleton, Idaho, that provides wildfire suppression equipment, water handling services, and emergency response logistics to the U.S. Forest Service and Department of the Interior exclusively as a prime contractor under total small business set-aside delivery orders and multiple-award indefinite delivery contracts. The vendor competes entirely under set-asides, with all 30 awards in recent activity carrying total small business or woman-owned small business designations. All work is performed under the vendor's own prime contracts; the vendor has zero subcontract footprint.

Talbott Enterprises' capability portfolio is narrowly focused and specialized. The vendor supplies water handling equipment and personnel, wildfire suppression engines (Types 3, 4, and 6), dozers, and emergency response logistics for fire suppression and all-hazard incident support. Representative recent prime work includes a $168,300 delivery order from the Forest Service Region 6 (Pacific Northwest Region) on August 1, 2026, for wildfire suppression equipment deployment in Wenatchee, Washington; a $105,828 delivery order from the Southwestern Region on June 20, 2025, for water handling and wildfire management resources; and multiple $30,000–$48,000 purchase orders from the Forest Service Idaho Region on June 1, 2025, for Type 3, 4, and 6 engines and dozers supporting Nevada Emergency Information Center operations.

Customer concentration centers on the Forest Service and its regional dispatch architecture. About 90% of recent awards (by count) derive from five customer sub-units: the Bureau of Land Management Idaho Region (11 awards, $400 thousand combined potential value), the Forest Service Intermountain Region (6 awards, $321 thousand combined potential value), the National Interagency Fire Center (4 awards, $1.5 million combined potential value), the Southwestern Region (3 awards, $187 thousand combined potential value), and the Pacific Northwest Region (1 award, $168 thousand combined potential value). The dollar ranking differs from the award-count ranking: the National Interagency Fire Center anchors about 56% of combined potential value despite representing only four awards, reflecting the vendor's two multiple-award indefinite delivery contracts with ceilings of $500,000 each for water handling services across East and West Zone regions through May 2030, plus a third $250,000 IDIQ. By contrast, the Idaho Region places the largest number of awards (11) but carries the lowest combined potential value of the top five, indicating a high-volume, lower-value transactional pattern of discrete equipment purchases.

The vendor operates under three primary parent vehicles, all multiple-award indefinite delivery contracts administered through the National Interagency Fire Center's Virtual Incident Procurement system. IDC 1202SB25T7793 carries 10 task orders with $490 thousand combined potential value; IDC 1202SB25T7324 carries 3 task orders with $309 thousand combined potential value; and IDC 1202SB26T7397 carries 2 task orders with $42 thousand combined potential value. Recent activity data shows 17 awards in 2025 and 13 awards in 2026 through August, indicating a steady engagement pattern. The combined potential value across all 30 awards totals $2.7 million, with $1.2 million obligated to date, representing 45% realization. No recompete cliff is present in the source; the two largest indefinite delivery contracts extend through May 2030, establishing a long-term prime vehicle position for water handling services across designated Fire Service zones.
