Vanafire LLC

Vanafire LLC, a Native American-owned small disadvantaged business based in Surprise, Arizona, provides forestry management equipment, fire suppression services, water handling support, and trained personnel for wildland fire management and all-hazard incident response as a prime contractor exclusively under federal set-asides. The sole proprietorship operates under Indian Economic Enterprise, Indian Small Business Economic Enterprise, and self-certified small disadvantaged business designations and competes entirely within total small business set-asides across its federal footprint.

Vanafire's capability portfolio centers on incident response logistics and equipment provision for wildland fire suppression. Recent representative work includes a $46,544 firm fixed-price delivery order from USDA Forest Service Region 3 (Southwestern Region) on June 20, 2026, for fire suppression services and equipment with place of performance in Phoenix, Arizona; a $55,035.90 delivery order from Region 4 (Intermountain Region) on September 4, 2024, for forestry management equipment and water handling support; and a $20,640 delivery order from Region 3 on May 30, 2024, for chipper delivery to support forestry management programs. Equipment supplied includes chippers, water handling apparatus, and fire suppression tools, typically delivered on firm fixed-price terms with completion windows measured in days to weeks.

Customer concentration is monolithic. The Department of Agriculture Forest Service accounts for 100% of Vanafire's recent awards across three operational entities: the Fire and Aviation Management National Interagency Fire Center (5 awards, $1.3 million combined potential value), Region 3–Southwestern Region (9 awards, $260 thousand), and Region 4–Intermountain Region (2 awards, $76 thousand). Work is performed across western Forest Service regions, with places of performance in Phoenix, Albuquerque, Flagstaff, and Alamogordo, Arizona and New Mexico.

Vanafire holds five Indefinite Delivery Contracts, all set-aside for total small business participation and all issued by the National Interagency Fire Center under the Virtual Incident Procurement (VIPR) Incident Blanket Purchase Agreement structure. Two contracts valued at $250,000 each provide water handling services for Regions 3 and 8 (awarded May 6, 2025, and February 6, 2026, running through 2030); two contracts valued at $250,000 each provide chippers and related equipment for Regions 3 and 4 (awarded May 15, 2024, and February 6, 2026, running through 2029); and one earlier $250,000 water handling IDC for Regions 3, 5, 6, and 10 (awarded June 7, 2022, completed May 8, 2025). Task orders placed against these vehicles total 8 task orders for $275 thousand combined potential value against the primary chipper IDC (1202SB24T7395), with single-order scatter against the other vehicles. All sixteen awards in the recent footprint are delivery orders or IDCs under NAICS 238990 (Support Activities for Forestry) and PSC code for Natural Resources/Conservation–Forest-Range Fire Suppression/Presuppression.

Activity has accelerated sharply — two awards in 2022, one in 2023, seven in 2024, two in 2025, and four in 2026 year-to-date. Combined potential value across all awards stands at $1.6 million, with $336 thousand obligated (21% of potential). The three-week gap to most-recent award suggests active task-order placement against the 2024–2026 IDCs. Vanafire operates exclusively as prime and holds no subcontract awards in the source data. No recompete cliff signal is present in the source, but the 2025 completion of one $250,000 water handling IDC (1202SB22T8155) represents a rolloff point in the recent contract architecture.
