Trails End Emergency Services LLC

Trails End Emergency Services LLC, a self-certified small disadvantaged business based in Springfield, Oregon, provides logistical support services for wildland firefighting and forest management operations to the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service as a prime contractor, operating exclusively under total small business set-aside IDCs and full-and-open delivery orders.

The vendor's capability portfolio centers on catering and food services, vehicle rentals with drivers, potable and gray water truck provision, handwashing station deployment, and supporting transportation and sanitation for wildland fire suppression, incident response, and forestry programs across the Pacific Northwest and broader interagency fire management network. Recent representative work includes a $51,133.56 delivery order from USDA Forest Service Region 6 (Pacific Northwest Region) for catering and transportation support (August 2024), a $44,604 delivery order for the same customer for food services and logistics (August 2025), and a $500,000 multiple-award IDC ceiling from the National Interagency Fire Center for potable and gray water trucks and handwashing station trailers in Region 6, awarded February 2026.

Customer concentration is narrow and entirely within the Department of Agriculture Forest Service ecosystem. USDA Forest Service Region 6 (Pacific Northwest Region) accounts for 33 awards ($1.1 million combined potential value), while the Department of Agriculture Forest Service Fire and Aviation Management National Interagency Fire Center holds 11 awards ($2 million combined potential value). Together these two customer nodes represent 100 percent of the vendor's award footprint; all 46 awards fund Forest Service fire management or land stewardship missions in the Pacific Northwest, Southwest, or Pacific Southwest regions.

The vendor holds position on multiple small-business set-aside IDCs issued by the National Interagency Fire Center: an $500,000 ceiling contract for potable and gray water trucks and handwashing stations (Region 6 only, through May 2029); a $250,000 ceiling vehicle-with-driver IDC for Regions 5 and 6 West Zone (through August 2031); a $250,000 ceiling potable and gray water truck IDC (Regions 5 and 6, through June 2028); and a $250,000 ceiling vehicle-with-driver IDC also for Regions 5 and 6 (through June 2028). Under USDA Forest Service Region 6 direct contracts, the vendor operates under additional $250,000 ceiling IDCs for vehicle rental with drivers and for potable water and sanitation services, running through 2025 and 2028. Task orders issued against these vehicles span firm fixed-price delivery orders ranging from $2,420 to $93,599.

Activity has declined year over year from 2022 onward — eleven awards in 2022, ten in 2023, nine in 2024, dropping to two in 2025 and five through August 2026. Combined potential value across all 46 awards totals $3.1 million, with $692 thousand obligated to date (22 percent). The vendor competes on full-and-open footing for most task order work but won multiple-award IDC positions through total small business set-aside procurement vehicles. Place of performance spans Oregon, Washington, and New Mexico, with primary operations concentrated in Springfield and Sisters, Oregon, and operations at multiple USDA Forest Service regional offices and interagency dispatch centers. The vendor operates under NAICS 488410 (All Other Transit and Ground Passenger Transportation) and 115310 (Support Activities for Forestry), with all 46 awards carrying PSC NR — Natural Resources/Conservation–Forest-Range Fire Suppression/Presuppression.
