West Coast Wildland Strike Teams Inc.

West Coast Wildland Strike Teams Inc., doing business as WCW, is a woman-owned, small disadvantaged business based in Gresham, Oregon that provides wildland fire suppression services, strike teams, fire engines, water handling equipment, and specialized firefighting personnel to the Department of Agriculture Forest Service as a prime contractor under total small business set-asides and full-and-open delivery orders.

WCW operates exclusively as a prime contractor (100% of recent awards) with no subcontract footprint. The company holds three active indefinite delivery contracts through the Virtual Incident Procurement (VIPR) program: a $500,000 multiple-award IDC for water handling services in Region 6 Pacific Northwest (awarded February 6, 2026, running through May 30, 2030); a $250,000 multiple-award IDC for the same region (awarded May 30, 2025, through May 30, 2030); and a $250,000 multiple-award IDC for water handling across the West Zone covering Regions 3, 5, 6, and 10 (awarded June 7, 2022, with an ultimate completion date of June 6, 2025). Against these vehicles, WCW issues firm fixed-price delivery orders of $7,000 to $195,720 on an incident-response basis. Recent representative awards include a $116,000 delivery order from Forest Service Region 6 for wildland fire suppression (August 7, 2026), a $112,500 delivery order for suppression services in Tumwater, Washington (August 5, 2025), and a $76,860 delivery order for resources in Vancouver, Washington (August 27, 2025).

Customer concentration is extreme and stable. The Department of Agriculture Forest Service Region 6 (Pacific Northwest Region) accounts for 54 of 71 awards (96% of award count coverage) and $2.5 million of the combined potential value. The Forest Service National Interagency Fire Center holds nine IDC parent vehicles and contributes $1.2 million in combined potential value. The remaining five agencies account for four awards and negligible dollars. WCW's footprint is defined by NAICS 339999 (Support Activities for Forestry) across 71 awards and PSC Natural Resources/Conservation–Forest-Range Fire Suppression/Presuppression across 70 of the 71 awards.

WCW competes under total small business set-asides on its three IDCs but receives delivery orders across both set-aside and unrestricted vehicles; recent delivery orders show a mix of total small business designations and no-set-aside full-and-open awards. Work is performed across the western United States, primarily in Oregon, Washington, and Idaho, with incident-based performance locations reflecting fire geography rather than fixed facilities.

Activity has been episodic. The vendor received four awards in 2022, three in 2023, eight in 2024, six in 2025, and five in 2026 (through August). The combined potential value across all awards is $3.8 million, with $2.5 million obligated. The two largest parent vehicles (IDCs 1202SB22T8163 and 1204H119T7360) carry 14 and 11 task orders respectively and represent the primary incumbent positions; five delivery orders totaling $341,760 obligated value have already drawn down against the May 2025 IDC within its first six months, indicating active utilization. WCW's customer relationship is narrow and nonsubstitutable — the Forest Service Region 6 and NIFC account for 63 of 71 awards, making competitive displacement on those vehicles and incident-response calls the primary recompete and at-risk-dollar exposure.
