The contract is a Total Small Business set-aside.
Performance spans U.S. Forest Service Regions 3, 5, and 6 for wildland fire suppression and all-hazard incident response. The originating solicitation sought heavy equipment with water delivery capability—including dozers, excavators, water tenders, and related fire suppression resources—deployed through the Virtual Incident Procurement system as an Incident Blanket Purchase Agreement with personnel and maintenance support included. The contract operates under a firm fixed-price structure with multiple concurrent awardees competing for task order placement.
Pathfinder Engineering, based in Donnelly, Idaho, operates exclusively under Total Small Business set-asides and maintains a geographically dispersed portfolio of regional heavy-equipment IDIQs established through the National Interagency Fire Center. The company provides specialized equipment and trained personnel for incident response and prescribed fire management across western Forest Service regions. Recent task-order activity under related regional vehicles includes delivery orders in 2024 and 2025 from Forest Service Regions 3, 4, and 5 for engineering services and equipment support ranging from approximately $272,000 to $524,000, with orders issued primarily to support preseason and incident-driven dispatch operations.
