Veteran Response Services LLC

Veteran Response Services LLC, a service-disabled veteran-owned small business based in La Pine, Oregon, provides emergency medical response services, paramedic support, and specialized fire-suppression equipment (weed washing units, potable and gray water truck systems) to the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Forest Service and interagency fire management partners as a prime contractor on indefinite delivery contracts and delivery orders set aside for small businesses.

The vendor operates exclusively as a prime contractor (17 awards, 100% of footprint) with no subcontractor exposure, competing predominantly under Total Small Business set-asides on IDIQs and delivery orders. Recent awards span emergency medical technician deployment at Pacific Northwest Forest Service locations, trailer-mounted water and sanitation equipment for incident response, and equipment procurement (weed washing units, hand wash stations) across Regions 3, 5, and 6. Representative work includes a $63,600 firm fixed-price delivery order from USDA Forest Service Region 6 (August 2, 2024) for emergency medical response support in Springfield, Oregon; a $250,000 multiple-award IDIQ from the National Interagency Fire Center (June 4, 2025) for weed washing units supporting fire suppression across Regions 3, 5, and 6; and a $500,000 multiple-award IDIQ from NIFC (February 6, 2026) for potable and gray water truck and handwashing stations mounted on trailers, extending through May 28, 2029.

Customer concentration is heavily skewed toward the National Interagency Fire Center, which accounts for 5 awards and $1.8 million (86%) of combined potential value across the portfolio, while USDA Forest Service Region 6 (Pacific Northwest Region) drives volume with 9 awards totaling $264 thousand. The Department of the Interior's Bureau of Land Management Idaho Region contributes 2 awards ($31 thousand). The vendor sits on three primary parent vehicles: two forest-fire IDIQs (Indefinite Delivery Contract 1202SB22T8192 with 4 task orders and 1204H124T7267 with 3 task orders) and one water-systems IDIQ (12569R25T7519 with 3 task orders). All 17 awards are classified under NAICS Support Activities for Forestry, with 15 falling under PSC Natural Resources/Conservation—Forest-Range Fire Suppression/Presuppression and 2 under Fire Fighting Equipment.

Activity has grown steadily from one award in 2022 to seven in 2025, with three awards issued year-to-date in 2026. Combined potential value across all awards is $2.1 million, though only $314 thousand (15%) has been obligated, indicating a pipeline of unfunded ceiling available on the underlying IDIQs. The vendor's primary customer—NIFC—holds multiple-award IDIQs that permit task-order dispatch across interagency partners including the National Park Service and Bureau of Indian Affairs, expanding the vendor's reach beyond direct Forest Service ordering.
