Ice Fire Suppression Inc.

Ice Fire Suppression Inc., doing business as Ice-Burns, a small disadvantaged business based in Burns, Oregon, provides wildland fire suppression services and equipment to the U.S. Forest Service and other federal land management agencies as a prime contractor across 100% of recent awards, competing predominantly under total small business set-asides on Indefinite Delivery Contracts and Incident Blanket Purchase Agreements.

Ice Fire Suppression Inc. is a Subchapter S corporation specializing in fire suppression resources for federal incident response and prescribed fire operations. The company's concrete capability portfolio centers on Type 3 and Type 4 fire engines, water handling equipment (Support Water Tenders and Tactical Water Tenders), trained personnel, transportation, and lodging to support wildland fire prevention, response, and all-hazard mitigation across western U.S. regions. Representative work includes a $106,070 delivery order from the U.S. Forest Service Region 2 (Rocky Mountain Region) on July 1, 2026, for fire suppression equipment and personnel in Pueblo, Colorado; a $52,250 delivery order from Region 6 (Pacific Northwest Region) on July 17, 2026, under the Virtual Incident Procurement (VIPR) I-BPA for Water Handling with place of performance in John Day, Oregon; and multiple $40,000–$80,000 delivery orders through Region 6's VIPR I-BPA system issued between June and August 2024 for Type 3 and Type 4 fire engines, water handling equipment, and field support services.

Customer concentration is extreme and singular. The Department of Agriculture Forest Service accounts for 89 awards (79% of the total portfolio) across two primary customer nodes: Region 6 (Pacific Northwest Region) with 62 awards valued at $2.5 million combined potential value, and the National Interagency Fire Center (Fire and Aviation Management) with 19 awards valued at $2.1 million. The Department of the Interior Bureau of Land Management Idaho Region holds 8 awards ($249 thousand). These three customers account for approximately 89% of recent awards and 92% of combined potential value. The vendor has worked with ten distinct federal agencies in the source data window, but the Forest Service—particularly Region 6 dispatch operations—represents the dominant operational relationship.

Ice Fire Suppression Inc. holds five named Indefinite Delivery Contracts: IDC 1202SB22T8132 (28 task orders, $747 thousand combined potential value), issued June 7, 2022, expiring June 6, 2025, for water handling services across West Zone Regions 3, 5, 6, and 10 under total small business set-aside; IDC 1284M819T7128 (15 task orders, $411 thousand), for water handling in East Zone Regions 1, 2, 4, and 9, awarded May 30, 2025, expiring May 30, 2030, under total small business set-aside; a $500,000 ceiling IDC for Region 6 water handling awarded February 6, 2026, expiring May 29, 2030, under total small business set-aside; a $500,000 ceiling IDC for East Zone Regions 1, 2, 4, and 9 awarded February 6, 2026, expiring May 30, 2030, under total small business set-aside; and a $250,000 ceiling IDC for Region 6 awarded May 29, 2025, expiring May 29, 2030. All three recent IDCs (2025–2026) carry total small business set-aside designations and are issued through VIPR I-BPA mechanisms. Two additional contract vehicles, BPA AG04H1B167356 (15 task orders, $557 thousand) and IDC 1204H125T7279 (7 task orders, $373 thousand), round out the active portfolio.

Activity has averaged roughly 10 to 15 awards per year over the past five years (2022: 10 awards; 2023: 5 awards; 2024: 15 awards; 2025: 14 awards; 2026: 8 awards to date). The source does not contain a formal recompete cliff analysis, but IDC 1202SB22T8132, the vendor's largest vehicle by task-order count (28 orders), expired June 6, 2025, and therefore all remaining obligations under that vehicle have already completed or are completing as of the current date (October 2026). The newer IDCs awarded in early 2026 (the $500,000 and $250,000 Region 6 and East Zone vehicles) carry May 2030 completion dates and represent the vendor's active forward pipeline. Combined potential value across all awards stands at $5.8 million, with $3.3 million obligated (56% of ceiling).

The vendor operates exclusively in forest fire suppression and incident management — 106 of 113 awards fall under NAICS 541712 (Support Activities for Forestry), and 98 awards map to PSC Natural Resources/Conservation—Forest-Range Fire Suppression/Presuppression. Equipment rental and leasing accounts for the remaining awards. Ice Fire Suppression Inc. has no named subcontractors; it is a prime contractor on all awards in the source. The vendor also holds optional-use eligibility with the Department of the Interior (Bureau of Land Management, National Park Service, and Bureau of Indian Affairs) under its VIPR contracts, though the award footprint reflects minimal direct engagement with those agencies to date. The company's geographic footprint spans the western United States, with operations in Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Wyoming, Colorado, California, and New Mexico, coordinated through Forest Service regional dispatch centers.
