U.s. Fire Equipment, L.l.c

U.S. Fire Equipment, LLC, a small business partnership and Subchapter S corporation based in Sumner, Washington, manufactures and supplies specialized wildland firefighting vehicles and apparatus to the Department of Defense and Army Installation Management Command as a prime contractor (100% of recent awards) competing under full-and-open designations, with the exception of small business set-aside contracts from Army regional commands.

The company's revenue footprint is dominated by a single massive vehicle: the $889.8 million single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract (SPE8EC24D0035) issued by the Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support in April 2024 through April 2029, which authorizes delivery of commercial construction equipment including wheel loaders, backhoe loaders, excavators, and wildland firefighting apparatus to U.S. military and federal agencies across the contiguous United States, Alaska, Hawaii, and international locations. This IDC anchors 99% of U.S. Fire Equipment's combined potential value, with five task orders under the vehicle totaling $4.8 million. The company also holds a second Indefinite Delivery Contract (W911S806D0007) with 20 task orders valued at $1.9 million combined. Recent representative delivery orders under the DLA IDC include a $2.2 million firm fixed-price order for wildland firefighting trucks (ultimate completion November 2026), a $998 thousand order for wildland firefighting trucks to Army Installation Management Command (completion April 2026), and a $1.3 million order for Type VI wildland vehicles (completion May 2026). Older small-business-set-aside purchase orders from Army Installation Management Command regional commands and headquarters, awarded between 2021 and 2023, ranged from $175 thousand to $199 thousand per vehicle and are now complete or approaching completion.

Customer concentration is extreme but bifurcated. The Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support Construction and Equipment division dominates by dollar value (six awards, $894.6 million combined potential), while the Department of the Army Installation Management Command Southwest Region leads by award count (28 awards, $1.8 million combined potential). Together, DLA and Army regional commands account for 100% of combined potential value and 62% of award count. The company has worked with 23 distinct customer agencies in its portfolio, but the vast majority of awards and dollars flow through those two channels.

The award portfolio spans 87 total prime awards dating back to 2003, with significant activity concentration in the 2021–2023 period (a spike driven by Army small-business purchase orders) and a sharp decline in 2024–2025 before the DLA IDC injection in April 2024. Activity remains sparse outside the DLA vehicle: only two awards with ultimate completion dates in the next twenty-four months carry $2.5 million combined potential value, suggesting minimal near-term recompete exposure. Top PSC codes reflect the company's specialization in Fire Fighting Equipment (35 awards) and maintenance/repair/rebuild of firefighting and safety equipment (23 awards), with secondary work in earth moving and excavating equipment. Top NAICS categories include General Automotive Repair and Motor Vehicle Body Manufacturing, consistent with the company's role as a fabricator and integrator of specialized emergency response vehicles. U.S. Fire Equipment is marketed as the Pacific Northwest's largest privately owned firefighting equipment provider.
