TGF Forestry & Fire Inc.

TGF Forestry & Fire Inc., a for-profit Subchapter S corporation based in Libertyville, Illinois, provides wildland fire management equipment and technical services — Type 6 fire engines, water handling support, and incident response assistance — exclusively to the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service as a prime contractor under total small business set-asides and full-and-open competition. The vendor operates 100% as a prime, with no subcontract footprint, and competes across both total small business set-asides and unrestricted delivery orders against Forest Service regional indefinite delivery contracts and incident management vehicles.

TGF Forestry & Fire's customer base is entirely concentrated within the Forest Service. The top five Forest Service subordinate customers account for 90% of recent awards by count and 88% of combined potential value, led by the Eastern Region (23 awards, $955 thousand combined potential value) and the National Interagency Fire Center (6 awards, $1.1 million combined potential value). The Eastern Region dominates award volume — nearly 55% of all awards — while the National Interagency Fire Center anchors the largest dollar share, reflecting TGF's seat on larger water handling IDCs covering multi-region East Zone operations (Regions 1, 2, 4, 8, and 9). Secondary customers include the Pacific Southwest Region (5 awards, $161 thousand), the Southern Region (2 awards, $177 thousand), and the Rocky Mountain Region (1 award, $108 thousand).

TGF holds positions on five named parent vehicles. The largest are two indefinite delivery contracts managed by the National Interagency Fire Center: IDC 1202SB22T7582 (a $250,000 total small business set-aside issued June 2, 2022 for water handling and forestry services, expiring May 30, 2025, which carried 14 task orders and $304 thousand combined potential value) and IDC 1202SB25T7722 (a newer $500,000 total small business set-aside issued February 6, 2026 through May 30, 2030 for water handling services across East Zone regions, with 3 task orders and $304 thousand combined potential value). Three additional regional blanket purchase agreements and indefinite delivery contracts carry the remaining work. Representative recent delivery orders include a $136,255.82 total small business set-aside order from the Southern Region (April 2026) for Type 6 fire engine and water handling support in Gainesville, Georgia; a $108,462 unrestricted order from the Rocky Mountain Region (August 2025) for fire management services in Glenwood Springs, Colorado; and a $91,200 total small business set-aside order from the Eastern Region (August 2026) for Type 6 engine and water handling assistance in Duluth, Minnesota. Work is classified under NAICS 541711 (Support Activities for Forestry) and PSC Natural Resources/Conservation—Forest-Range Fire Suppression/Presuppression across all 42 awards.

Activity has been uneven over the past five years, declining from nine awards in 2022 to two in 2023, then recovering modestly to five in 2025 and four in 2026. The vendor holds a combined potential value of $2.8 million across all awards, with $1.3 million obligated (46% realization rate). The older $250,000 IDC (1202SB22T7582) completed May 30, 2025 and faces recompete exposure; the newer $500,000 IDC (1202SB25T7722) runs through May 2030. TGF has held Forest Service contracts since at least 2010 and maintains active multi-region water handling supply relationships across fire season operations nationwide.
