A Abel Moving & Rigging, Inc.

A Abel Moving & Rigging, Inc. is a for-profit small business based in Missoula, Montana, that has been registered to receive federal contract awards since March 2004. The company specializes in providing moving, rigging, and equipment support services to federal agencies, with particular expertise in logistical support for wildfire response infrastructure and emergency operations. A Abel Moving & Rigging has established itself as a key provider of emergency support services to the National Interagency Fire Center through its longstanding relationship with the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service.

Through its federal contract awards, A Abel Moving & Rigging has provided a comprehensive range of moving and rigging services in support of Forest Service operations and fire suppression activities across multiple regions. The company has received five delivery order awards from the Forest Service dating between August 2022 and August 2025, with individual order values ranging from $16,740 to $84,631, totaling approximately $192,131 in awarded work. These delivery orders have been issued under firm fixed price contracts with no set-aside designations, though they derive from larger multiple award indefinite delivery vehicles designated for small business participation. The services provided have supported Forest Service facilities and operations in Montana locations including Missoula, Hamilton, and Callahan, with work focused on moving, rigging, and logistical support for equipment and infrastructure related to wildland fire and all-hazard incident response. The primary funding agency for these awards has been the U.S. Forest Service Northern Region (Region 1), with one additional delivery order issued by the Pacific Northwest Region (Region 6).

A Abel Moving & Rigging currently holds two indefinite delivery contracts (IDCs) with the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service through the National Interagency Fire Center. The active IDC, awarded on May 22, 2024, carries a ceiling value of $250,000 with an ultimate completion date of May 22, 2029, and is designated as a multiple award contract set aside for small businesses. This contract was established to provide potable and gray water trucks and handwashing stations to support wildfire and emergency response efforts in Forest Service Regions 1, 2, and 4 through the Virtual Incident Procurement (VIPR) system. The company also held a predecessor IDC valued at $250,000 with an ultimate completion date of May 23, 2024, which was similarly set aside for small businesses to provide potable water trucks and handwashing stations for wildfire response across the same three regions. Both IDCs have generated multiple delivery orders under the firm fixed price contract type, demonstrating the Forest Service's continued reliance on A Abel Moving & Rigging for emergency response logistics and support services across its Northern, Pacific Northwest, and other regional operations.
