Rude Logging LLC, a small disadvantaged business located in Prairie City, Oregon, was awarded a multiple-award Indefinite Delivery Contract on February 6, 2026, by the National Interagency Fire Center (NIFC) under a total small business set-aside. The contract has a ceiling value of $250,000 and extends through May 28, 2029, and is designated for miscellaneous heavy equipment provision in Region 6 of the Pacific Northwest. The contract utilizes a firm fixed-price pricing structure and is intended to support wildland fire suppression, all-hazard incident response, and prescribed project work across the region. The contractor is responsible for providing heavy construction equipment, such as dozers and excavators, along with all associated personnel, training, and certification requirements necessary to support federal land management and firefighting operations.

The underlying solicitation, posted as a Pre-Solicitation Notice in February 2024, sought to establish multiple blanket purchase agreements with small businesses capable of rapidly deploying heavy equipment and personnel to support the United States Department of Agriculture Forest Service's Region 6 operations. Evaluation criteria included proposed rates based on 16-hour daily shifts with all-inclusive cost structures, technical evaluation incorporating equipment specifications and capabilities, and socioeconomic status considerations. The solicitation emphasized competitively awarding multiple contracts to contractors positioned at advertised dispatch centers closest to their resources to meet required response times. The contract award to Rude Logging LLC reflects the contractor's established capability and prior experience providing critical forest management, vegetation management, and heavy equipment services to federal agencies across Oregon and Washington, including existing contract vehicles valued up to $50 million for stewardship services.
