Trahan Enterprises Inc.

Trahan Enterprises Inc., a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) and Veteran-Owned Small Business (VOSB) based in Lemoore, California, provides wildland firefighting support and emergency response services to the Department of Agriculture's Forest Service and National Interagency Fire Center exclusively as a prime contractor. The company is structured as a Subchapter S corporation and self-certifies as a small disadvantaged business. Its SBA certifications (SDVOSB and VOSB) expire October 4, 2028. Trahan competes entirely under full-and-open or total small business set-aside delivery orders against indefinite delivery contracts rather than pursuing unrestricted federal prime positions.

Trahan's capability footprint is tightly focused on emergency response services supporting wildland firefighting and all-hazard incidents across western U.S. regions. The company delivers water handling equipment (potable and gray water trucks, Type 1–6 engines, water tenders), ambulance services (Advanced Life Support and Basic Life Support), emergency medical responder personnel (EMTs and paramedics), and miscellaneous heavy equipment operations (feller bunchers, mulchers, masticators, road graders, skidders). Services are configured for daily shifts up to 16 hours under the Forest Service's Virtual Incident Procurement (VIPR) system. Representative delivery-order awards include a $288,498 order from Forest Service Region 5 on August 11, 2026, for heavy equipment and personnel support in Solvang, California (completion September 16, 2026); a $134,454 order on August 30, 2025, for water handling and medical response in Clovis, California; and a $116,112 order from September 25, 2024, for mixed emergency response services. These orders are priced on a firm fixed-price basis and issued against parent IDIQs.

Customer concentration is extreme. The National Interagency Fire Center and Forest Service account for approximately 100% of awards by potential value. Within that universe, the National Interagency Fire Center anchors 17 awards ($5.8 million combined potential value), while Forest Service Region 5 (Pacific Southwest Region) places 28 awards ($1.6 million combined potential value), accounting for roughly 98% of Trahan's recent award count. Forest Service Region 3 (Southwestern Region) and smaller Fire and Aviation Management offices round out the customer set with four and two awards respectively. The top-five-customer ranking by award count and potential-value ranking track in near-perfect alignment; concentration is not split between volume and dollars — it is monolithic around USDA Forest Service operations.

Trahan holds 17 active indefinite delivery contracts, all issued by the National Interagency Fire Center under VIPR and all set aside for total small business participation. Ceiling values range from $250 thousand to $1 million, with ultimate completion dates extending through 2030. Vehicle holdings include a $1 million IDC for potable and gray water trucks (Region 5 only, completion May 28, 2029); a $500 thousand IDC for water handling equipment (Region 5, completion June 6, 2030); a $500 thousand IDC for emergency medical responder services (Region 13 national, completion June 27, 2028); a $750 thousand IDC for ALS/BLS ambulance service (Region 13 national, completion June 12, 2028); a $500 thousand IDC for miscellaneous heavy equipment (Region 5, completion June 13, 2029); a $500 thousand IDC for heavy equipment in West Zone Regions 5 and 6 (completion June 11, 2028); and a $250 thousand IDC for heavy equipment in Regions 3 and 8 (completion June 1, 2030). The top three parent vehicles (by task-order count) are IDCs 1202SB22T8145 (17 task orders, $529 thousand combined potential value), 129J6125T7330 (11 task orders, $625 thousand combined potential value), and 129J6120T7065 (6 task orders, $211 thousand combined potential value). Task orders are issued against these vehicles episodically throughout fire seasons and all-hazard events; work is concentrated in Regions 3, 5, 6, 10, and 13 across the western United States and nationally.

Activity shows volatility but trending upward into 2026. Awards per year ranged from 6 (2023) to 15 (2022), with 14 awards in 2025 and 12 awards in 2026 year-to-date. The recompete cliff is minimal — only one award reaches ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months ($14 thousand combined potential value), meaning Trahan faces almost no near-term recompete exposure in its current footprint. The combined potential value across all 60 awards totals $8.2 million, with $2.2 million (26%) obligated to date, indicating that most of Trahan's contract ceiling value remains unexercised. Top NAICS coding is 541711 (Support Activities for Forestry, 55 awards); top PSC is Natural Resources/Conservation—Forest-Range Fire Suppression/Presuppression (58 awards). Trahan holds no subcontract position in its award history — 100% of awards are prime.
