Customer concentration sits entirely with the Department of Agriculture Forest Service and Department of Interior. The top five customer entities account for 98 percent of recent awards by count. The National Interagency Fire Center anchors the largest dollar share, placing 13 awards valued at $2.1 million combined potential value across multiple indefinite delivery contracts; Forest Service Region 1 (Northern Region) dominates award volume with 44 awards totaling $947 thousand combined potential value.
