Wildfire Resources & Services Inc.

Wildfire Resources & Services Inc. NA Division, based in Hamilton, Montana, provides personnel, equipment, vehicles, and specialized services for wildland fire suppression, prevention, and preparedness operations as a prime contractor exclusively to the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service and the National Interagency Fire Center. The vendor is a small business competing predominantly under total small business set-asides on multiple-award indefinite delivery contracts and is undesignated across other SBA categories (8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, WOSB).

Wildfire Resources' capability portfolio centers on fire suppression resources across five concrete service lines. Water handling equipment and personnel for fire suppression — water tenders, skidgines, softtracks, and pumper cats — represent a core offering, delivered under National Interagency Fire Center (NIFC) Incident Blanket Purchase Agreements (I-BPAs) with ceiling values ranging from $250 thousand to $500 thousand per vehicle. Heavy equipment with water capabilities (feller bunchers, road graders, skidders, mulcher/masticators) and faller services (tree felling and clearing operations) also anchor the portfolio, with dedicated I-BPA vehicles established February 2026. Engine procurement — Type 3, Type 4, and Type 6 wildfire engines — appears episodically, with two purchase orders totaling $72 thousand issued by the Idaho Region in June 2025 for equipment use through October 2025. Miscellaneous fire suppression equipment and transportation support round out the service mix. Representative work includes a $500 thousand multiple-award heavy equipment I-BPA for East Zone Regions 1, 2, 4, and 9 awarded February 6, 2026 with performance through May 8, 2029; a $250 thousand water handling I-BPA also awarded February 6, 2026 for Regions 1, 2, 4, and 9; and numerous delivery orders ranging from $2,250 to $175,775, the largest being a $175,775 order from the Intermountain Region (Region 4) in August 2024.

Customer concentration is heavily skewed to Forest Service regional operations. The top five funding entities account for 89% of awards by count and 94% by combined potential value. The Forest Service's Northern Region (R1) leads by order count at 61 awards ($3.4 million), followed by the Intermountain Region (R4) with 35 awards ($1.7 million). The National Interagency Fire Center, administratively part of Fire and Aviation Management, anchors the dollar value with 33 awards totaling $5 million combined potential value — predominantly the five I-BPA vehicles awarded in 2022, 2024, 2025, and 2026. Additional regions served include the Pacific Southwest Region (Region 5), Pacific Northwest Region (Region 6), and Rocky Mountain Region (Region 2), with smaller footprints. The vendor has worked with ten distinct Forest Service customer agencies across regional and national administrative units.

Wildfire Resources operates exclusively as a prime contractor across multiple-award indefinite delivery vehicles issued by NIFC. The top parent vehicles are a $250 thousand Water Handling I-BPA (1202SB22T7608) with 48 task orders totaling $1.9 million; a $250 thousand Heavy Equipment I-BPA (12034319T7158) with 26 task orders generating $603 thousand; and a $500 thousand Water Handling I-BPA for East Zone (1202SB25T7925) with 24 task orders valued at $1.1 million. Five additional I-BPAs for fallers, miscellaneous heavy equipment, and heavy equipment with water capabilities round out the core vehicle holdings, each with ceilings ranging from $250 thousand to $500 thousand. A single blanket purchase agreement with the Forest Service Northern Region (AG0343B167157) accounts for 8 task orders totaling $584 thousand. Task orders under these vehicles typically carry firm fixed-price pricing, with individual order values historically ranging from $4 thousand to $45 thousand during peak fire seasons, though outlier delivery orders have reached $175 thousand. Performance periods are often extremely short — single-day to three-week completions — reflecting the rapid-deployment model of interagency fire response contracting.

Activity has trended upward from 11 awards in 2023 to a peak of 36 in 2024, then moderated to 22 in 2025 and 20 through early 2026. The vendor's most recent award dates to September 2, 2026 — a $42,500 delivery order from the Intermountain Region — indicating active current engagement. Combined potential value across 163 prime awards totals $11.3 million, with $5.1 million obligated to date (45% overall realization). The award footprint spans from June 2016 to present, with sustained engagement accelerating since 2022. Performance locations span Forest Service Regions 1 through 6 and include Montana (Hamilton, Dillon, Libby, Kalispell), Idaho (Boise, McCall, Kamiah, Salmon, Shoshone), Utah (Price, Riverton, Salmon area), Colorado, California (Clovis, Eureka, Redding, Yreka), Wyoming (Laramie, Jackson), Minnesota (Duluth), and New Mexico (Santa Fe), reflecting nationwide fire suppression support capacity. The vendor holds no subcontract footprint in the source data — all 163 awards are delivered as prime.
