About this IDV
Joe Hester Logging, LLC, a small business contractor based in Post Falls, Idaho, was awarded a multiple-award Indefinite Delivery Contract by the National Interagency Fire Center on February 6, 2026, with a ceiling value of $250,000 and performance period extending through May 9, 2030. The contract, set aside for total small business participation, establishes a blanket purchase agreement for miscellaneous heavy equipment to support fire suppression, prescribed burn operations, and land management activities across the U.S. Forest Service East Zone Regions 1, 2, and 4. The solicitation, posted January 18, 2024, sought equipment including feller bunchers, mulcher/masticators, road graders, and skidders, with personnel required to be managed, supervised, trained, and certified in accordance with specified requirements. All equipment and services must comply with Section D.2 specifications, while pricing structures established in Section B.2 must incorporate transportation, lodging, and personnel supervision costs.
Under the Virtual Incident Procurement system framework, this Indefinite Delivery Contract functions as part of the National Interagency Fire Center's broader procurement strategy to enable rapid mobilization of critical forestry and emergency response equipment during incident response operations. Resources may be utilized up to 16 hours daily, and the contract allows optional use by other federal agencies including the Department of the Interior and National Park Service. Joe Hester Logging's demonstrated capacity to provide heavy equipment across multiple price points and regions, combined with its existing portfolio of five Indefinite Delivery Contracts through the Virtual Incident Procurement program, positions the contractor as an established supplier within the federal emergency response and land management procurement ecosystem. The firm fixed price structure with total small business set-aside status reflects the government's commitment to leveraging small business capacity for critical wildland fire and forestry management support operations.
