Zfoster Enterprises Incorporated

Zfoster Enterprises Incorporated, a self-certified small disadvantaged business and Subchapter S corporation headquartered in Douglas City, California, operates as a prime contractor delivering water handling equipment and personnel for fire suppression and emergency response to the USDA Forest Service. The vendor competes under total small business set-asides and holds all awards in that category.

Zfoster's federal footprint is nascent and concentrated entirely within USDA Forest Service fire management. The vendor has received three prime awards totaling $762 thousand in combined potential value across two customer sub-organizations: the National Interagency Fire Center (two awards, $750 thousand) and the Pacific Southwest Region (one award, $12 thousand). The two awards from the National Interagency Fire Center consist of multiple-award indefinite delivery contracts (IDCs) awarded on June 5, 2025 and February 6, 2026, each carrying firm fixed-price terms. The June 2025 IDC carries a $250 thousand ceiling through June 5, 2030 and procures Type 3 and 6 Engines and Support Water Tenders Type 1, 2, and 3 for Region 5 (Pacific Southwest Region) fire suppression and all-hazard incidents. The February 2026 award is a larger multiple-award total small business IDIQ with a $500 thousand ceiling through June 5, 2030, covering identical equipment and personnel. Vendors under both contracts supply trained and certified personnel, equipment, transportation, and lodging; operate under daily shifts of up to 16 hours; and are dispatched through the Virtual Incident Procurement (VIPR) system. A single $11.5 thousand delivery order was awarded September 4, 2025 by GSA's Pacific Southwest Region, concluding September 8, 2025, representing minimal obligated value. All three awards fall under NAICS 561730 (Support Activities for Forestry) and PSC Natural Resources/Conservation — Forest-Range Fire Suppression/Presuppression. Recent activity shows two awards in 2025 and one in 2026; combined obligated dollars across all awards total $12 thousand (2% of combined potential value), indicating minimal work performed to date.
