Timberline Fire LLC

Timberline Fire LLC, a woman-owned small disadvantaged business based in Flagstaff, Arizona, provides wildland fire suppression, prevention, and emergency response services to the Department of Agriculture Forest Service as a prime contractor operating exclusively under total small business set-asides and firm fixed-price delivery orders.

The company's service portfolio centers on wildland fire management resources—firefighting crews, fire engines, water tenders, prescribed burn teams, dispatchers, and incident response personnel—deployed across western Forest Service regions (Regions 1, 3, 5, 6, and 8) and subordinate geographic areas. Representative delivery orders include a $75,981 award from Forest Service Region 6 (Pacific Northwest) for wildland fire management services in Prineville, Oregon (July 27, 2026), a $72,181 delivery order from Region 3 (Southwestern) for fire suppression in Phoenix, Arizona (August 4, 2025), and a $93,487.50 firm fixed-price task order from Region 3 for wildland fire services in the Southwest (September 3, 2024). The company operates across multiple performance locations in Colorado, Arizona, California, Oregon, Idaho, Montana, New Mexico, and Virginia, supporting fire prevention, preparedness, and active suppression missions.

Timberline Fire's customer concentration is heavily weighted toward the Department of Agriculture Forest Service. The top five funding entities account for 93 percent of recent awards by count and 94 percent by combined potential value. Forest Service Region 3 (Southwestern Region) dominates, with 98 awards worth $3 million in combined potential value. Forest Service Fire and Aviation Management's National Interagency Fire Center (20 awards, $1.6 million combined potential value) and Region 5 (Pacific Southwest Region) (24 awards, $1 million combined potential value) follow, along with the parent Forest Service organization (14 awards, $515 thousand) and Region 6 (6 awards, $203 thousand). No other federal agencies appear materially in the footprint.

The vendor holds three primary indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity (IDIQ) contract vehicles, all structured as total small business set-asides through the National Interagency Fire Center. The largest is an indefinite delivery contract (1202SB22T8215) carrying 46 task orders totaling $1.4 million in combined potential value; a second indefinite delivery vehicle (12837119T7065) carries 45 task orders worth $1.6 million. Two blanket purchase agreements—AG8371B167040 (29 task orders, $706 thousand combined potential value) and AG8371B137061 (13 task orders, $345 thousand)—round out the core vehicles. A newer indefinite delivery contract (1202SB25T7293) issued May 6, 2025, holds 18 task orders valued at $715 thousand and runs through May 6, 2030, extending Timberline Fire's contracting reach.

Activity has declined sharply after a 2022 peak. The vendor received 36 awards in 2022, then dropped to 13 awards annually in 2023, 2024, and 2025, with only 8 awards recorded through August 2026. Combined potential value across the 175 awards in the source data is $6.7 million, with $4.9 million already obligated (73 percent of potential value). The concentration of awards is extreme—174 of 175 awards fall under the natural resources forestry support NAICS (Support Activities for Forestry), and 171 of 175 fall under the PSC category for forest-range fire suppression and presuppression. Timberline Fire operates entirely as a prime contractor; no subcontract activity appears in the footprint. The company is a Subchapter S corporation and self-certifies as a small disadvantaged business and woman-owned small business, positioning itself for set-aside competition exclusively within Forest Service contracting.
