Thunder Mountain Fire And Mitigation LLC

Thunder Mountain Fire And Mitigation LLC, a woman-owned small disadvantaged business based in Olathe, Colorado, delivers wildland fire prevention, mitigation, and suppression services to the U.S. Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management as a prime contractor, competing predominantly on full-and-open (unrestricted) delivery orders, with primary revenue anchored to multiple-award Indefinite Delivery Contracts under the Virtual Incident Procurement (VIPR) system set aside for total small businesses.

Thunder Mountain Fire And Mitigation operates across six federal customer agencies with concentrated exposure to the Department of Agriculture Forest Service and Department of the Interior. The National Interagency Fire Center dominates by potential value — three IDC awards totaling $1 million combined ceiling — followed by Forest Service Region 2 (Rocky Mountain) with six awards worth $453 thousand combined potential, and Bureau of Land Management Idaho Region with nine awards totaling $398 thousand combined potential. Recent work includes a $90.8 thousand firm fixed-price delivery order from Forest Service Region 5 (Pacific Southwest) on August 15, 2026, for wildland fire prevention and mitigation services in Yreka, California, completed by September 2, 2026; a $98.8 thousand delivery order from Forest Service Region 2 on July 6, 2026, for fire prevention and mitigation work in Pueblo, Colorado; and multiple Type 6 engine purchase orders from the Idaho Region in June 2025 ranging from $18.9 thousand to $77.5 thousand each.

Thunder Mountain holds three parent IDVs under VIPR. The largest is a $500 thousand multiple-award IDC awarded February 6, 2026, by the National Interagency Fire Center for water handling across East Zone Regions 1, 2, 4, and 9 through May 30, 2030, set aside for total small businesses. A second IDC valued at $250 thousand runs through the same date and covers identical scope under the earlier May 30, 2025 award; a third predecessor IDC of $250 thousand (awarded June 2, 2022) expired May 30, 2025. Together, these vehicles have generated 14 task orders (nine under the original 2022 contract, four under the 2025 replacement, one under the 2026 expansion). Thunder Mountain competes on unrestricted basis across all regions, with delivery order values typically ranging from $11 thousand to $113 thousand.

Activity accelerated sharply in 2025 — twelve awards, compared with five in 2022, two in 2023, and three in 2024. The vendor's service portfolio centers on fuels reduction, community protection, water handling equipment rentals and transportation, trained personnel for emergency response, and specialized wildfire suppression assets, with work performed across western Forest Service regions (California, Colorado, Idaho, Oregon, Wyoming, and Nebraska) and Bureau of Land Management offices. All 26 awards in the source represent prime work; Thunder Mountain does not subcontract. The combined potential value across all awards is $2.2 million, with $1.2 million obligated to date (55% utilization).
