Engle Contracting LLC was awarded a multiple-award Indefinite Delivery Contract by the National Interagency Fire Center on February 6, 2026, with a $250,000 ceiling value and performance period extending through May 28, 2029. The contract is set aside exclusively for small businesses and procures miscellaneous heavy equipment services for wildland fire suppression and prescribed project work in Region 6 of the Pacific Northwest. The scope encompasses the provision of specialized heavy equipment, personnel, training, and certification required to support federal land management operations, with contractor responsibility for all associated equipment procurement, staffing, and certifications. Performance is geographically limited to the Pacific Northwest region, with equipment and personnel resources positioned to meet response time requirements through dispatch centers.

The original pre-solicitation notice, posted February 1, 2024, with a due date of March 17, 2024, established the framework for competitive multiple-award selections from qualified small business contractors. Evaluation criteria included proposed rates based on 16-hour daily shifts, technical evaluation incorporating photographic evidence of resources and capabilities, and socioeconomic status considerations. The solicitation anticipated awards to contractors positioned within advertised dispatch centers closest to their resources to ensure adequate response times for incident support. Proposed rates were required to encompass all costs for heavy construction equipment rental and leasing under applicable North American Industry Classification System codes, with incumbent contractors eligible for on-ramping consideration. The contract supports critical wildland fire management and forest health activities across western national forests, including the Umatilla and Malheur National Forests.
