Vanafire LLC

Vanafire LLC, a Native American-owned small disadvantaged business based in Surprise, Arizona, supplies forestry management equipment, fire suppression services, and water handling support for wildland fire management and all-hazard incident response exclusively as a federal prime contractor under total small business set-asides. The sole proprietorship holds Indian Economic Enterprise and Indian Small Business Economic Enterprise certifications and competes entirely within the small-business set-aside universe, with all 22 awards in the source carrying total small business designations or issued against total small business IDCs.

Vanafire's federal footprint concentrates entirely within the Department of Agriculture Forest Service. The National Interagency Fire Center accounts for five IDC awards worth $1.8 million combined potential value, while the Southwestern Region (Region 3) dominates volume with thirteen awards totaling $410 thousand. The remaining three regions — Pacific Southwest (Region 5), Intermountain (Region 4), and Rocky Mountain (Region 2) — account for four awards worth $186 thousand. Vanafire operates exclusively under NAICS 238990 (Support Activities for Forestry) and PSC code for forest-range fire suppression and presuppression across all awards.

Vanafire holds five active IDCs, all issued by the National Interagency Fire Center under the Virtual Incident Procurement (VIPR) Incident Blanket Purchase Agreement structure. The primary vehicle is Indefinite Delivery Contract 1202SB24T7395 (chipper for Region 3, $250 thousand ceiling, awarded May 15, 2024, completion May 15, 2029), which anchors twelve task orders worth $393 thousand in combined potential value. A second major IDC, 1202SB25T7285 (water handling for Regions 3 and 8, $250 thousand ceiling, awarded May 6, 2025, completion May 6, 2030), supports concurrent task orders. Two additional water-handling IDCs — one from February 6, 2026 ($500 thousand ceiling, completion May 6, 2030) and an earlier June 7, 2022 vehicle now expired (May 8, 2025) — round out the portfolio. All IDCs are set-aside for total small business participation and permit optional use by the Department of Interior, National Park Service, and Bureau of Indian Affairs.

Recent representative work includes a $87,500 delivery order from Forest Service Region 5 awarded September 3, 2026 for fire suppression services and equipment in Solvang, California (completion September 27, 2026); a $54,400 delivery order from Region 3 awarded August 14, 2026 for wildland fire management and incident response support in Santa Fe, New Mexico (completion August 29, 2026); and a $46,544 delivery order from Region 3 awarded June 20, 2026 for fire suppression services with performance in Phoenix, Arizona (completion July 1, 2026). Awards range from $12,530 for individual chipper deliveries to the five-hundred-thousand-dollar IDC ceilings.

Activity has grown substantially — from two awards in 2022 to ten in 2026 (most recent award September 3, 2026). Combined potential value across all 22 awards totals $2.3 million, with $595 thousand obligated to date. No subcontracting activity appears in the source; Vanafire operates as a 100% prime contractor. Work is performed across western Forest Service dispatch centers and regional offices in Forest Service Regions 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, and 10 (Southwestern, Rocky Mountain, Intermountain, Pacific Southwest, Northern, Intermountain, and Alaska), with regional administrative oversight at the National Interagency Fire Center.
