Yellow Dog L.L.P.

Yellow Dog L.L.P., doing business as Yellow Dog Trucking, is a small business prime contractor based in Cataldo, Idaho that supplies water handling equipment, materials, supplies, transportation, and trained personnel to support wildland fire suppression and all-hazard incident response across the U.S. Forest Service East Zone. The vendor operates exclusively under total small business set-aside delivery orders and indefinite delivery contracts, with 100% of recent awards issued as prime contracts and no subcontract work in the footprint.

Yellow Dog holds two parallel multiple-award indefinite delivery contracts with the National Interagency Fire Center, both running through May 30, 2030, with combined ceilings of $500,000. The first IDC, awarded February 6, 2026, carries a $500,000 ceiling; the second, awarded May 30, 2025, carries a $250,000 ceiling. Both contracts authorize water handling services across U.S. Forest Service East Zone Regions 1, 2, 4, and 9, with optional use authorized by the National Park Service and Bureau of Indian Affairs. Work scope includes equipment, materials, supplies, transportation, and personnel capable of supporting up to 16-hour daily shifts for rapid emergency deployment under firm fixed-price terms. Yellow Dog performs all work directly without subcontractors.

Recent delivery orders reflect tight operational cycles supporting active incidents. Three orders issued in summer 2026 under Region 1 dispatch — a $48,100 order on July 11, 2026 (completion August 5), a $7,400 order on August 23, 2026 (completion August 26), and a $20,350 order on August 26, 2026 (completion September 5) — all for water handling equipment and materials supporting wildland fire suppression. A fourth order on September 4, 2025, for $22,200, rounded out the set. Place of performance for all orders is Dalton Gardens, Idaho.

Customer concentration sits entirely within the Department of Agriculture's Forest Service. The National Interagency Fire Center accounts for $750 thousand in combined potential value across two awards, while Forest Service Region 1 (Northern Region) accounts for $98 thousand across four awards, totaling $848 thousand in combined potential value. The vendor has obligated $98 thousand to date (12% of combined potential value), reflecting the early-stage and incident-driven nature of the contract portfolio. Activity is nascent — two awards in 2025 and four in 2026 — with all six awards classified under NAICS 333999 (Support Activities for Forestry) and PSC Natural Resources/Conservation–Forest-Range Fire Suppression/Presuppression.
