The National Interagency Fire Center awarded a multiple-award Indefinite Delivery Contract to Kanduch Logging Inc. (doing business as KLM Contracting) on February 6, 2026, with a ceiling value of $250,000 and performance period extending through April 15, 2030. The contract, designated as a Total Small Business set-aside with Firm Fixed Price terms, procures miscellaneous heavy equipment and related services for the East Zone, covering U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service Regions 1, 2, and 4. The specific equipment requirements include feller bunchers, mulcher/masticators, road graders, and skidders, along with managed, supervised, trained, and certified personnel to support local, regional, and nationwide fire suppression and prescribed project work. All equipment and personnel must meet technical specifications outlined in the solicitation, with resources available for deployment up to 16 hours daily.

The contract evolved from a pre-solicitation notice posted January 18, 2024, with quotes due March 4, 2024, and anticipates task orders through multiple preseason incident blanket purchase agreements utilizing the Virtual Incident Procurement system. Kanduch Logging Inc., a Montana-based small business corporation specializing in forest management and logging services, was selected based on demonstrated capability in ecosystem restoration and heavy equipment operations across the Northern Rockies region. Pricing structures include all direct costs for equipment, materials, supplies, transportation, and personnel lodging as specified in the solicitation, with socioeconomic status considerations factored into award determinations. The contract aligns with the National Interagency Fire Center's objectives of maintaining pre-positioned equipment and personnel resources to support firefighting operations and forest health initiatives across multiple western regions.
