Tri-State Fire LLC

Tri-State Fire LLC is a self-certified small disadvantaged business operating as a limited liability company that specializes in providing wildland fire management services and equipment to federal government agencies, primarily the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service. The company is a subsidiary of Tri-State Fire Inc., a minority-owned and Native American-owned business based in Nevada. Tri-State Fire LLC offers critical firefighting resources including water tenders, fire engines, and trained personnel to support fire prevention, suppression, and natural resource protection efforts across multiple regions of the United States.

Through its federal contract awards, Tri-State Fire LLC has consistently provided wildland fire management services to various regions of the U.S. Forest Service, including the Pacific Southwest, Pacific Northwest, Northern, Intermountain, and Southwestern Regions. The company's contracts have primarily been delivery orders with firm fixed prices, ranging from small $3,875 awards to larger contracts approaching $600,000. These contracts involve supplying specialized firefighting equipment such as Type 2 and Type 3 water tenders, Type 6 engines, and tactical water handling vehicles. While most of these delivery orders were not designated with specific set-aside provisions, Tri-State Fire LLC itself is classified as a small disadvantaged business, which provides certain competitive advantages in federal contracting.

Tri-State Fire LLC holds multiple Indefinite Delivery Contracts (IDCs) with the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service, specifically with the National Interagency Fire Center. These IDCs, valued at up to $250,000 each, are designated as total small business set-asides and cover water handling services and equipment for various Forest Service regions, including Regions 1, 2, 4, 8, and 9. The contracts allow the Forest Service to quickly obtain critical firefighting resources as seasonal demands fluctuate. Under these flexible contract vehicles, Tri-State Fire LLC has received numerous delivery orders for water tenders, engines, and related equipment, enabling the Forest Service to supplement its internal capabilities during emergency response situations and high-demand periods across a wide geographic area.
