ACE Earthmoving, LLC

ACE Earthmoving, LLC, a self-certified small disadvantaged business based in Grants Pass, Oregon, supplies heavy earthmoving equipment and certified operators to the U.S. Forest Service and fire management agencies for wildland fire suppression, prescribed burn operations, and emergency all-hazard incident response, operating exclusively as a prime contractor with no subcontract footprint across western U.S. regions including Regions 3, 5, and 6.

ACE Earthmoving competes predominantly under Total Small Business set-asides across its Indefinite Delivery Contracts and blanket purchase agreements. The company holds four active National Interagency Fire Center IDCs with combined ceilings of $1.5 million and completion dates extending through May 2029, all reserved for small business, supplemented by multiple BPAs issuing task orders through the Virtual Incident Procurement system. Over 127 prime awards spanning 1998 to present, the vendor has accumulated $6.7 million in combined potential value (with $4.4 million obligated). The capability portfolio centers on provision of dozers, excavators, dump trucks, and personnel for forest management and emergency response, with concrete recent examples including a $101.97 thousand delivery order from the Forest Service Region 6 Pacific Northwest Region for land management operations (September 2024), a $62.4 thousand VIPR Rail Ridge E-267 purchase order for Idaho Region work through October 2025, and a $30 thousand delivery order from Region 6 for wildfire suppression in Lakeview, Oregon (August 2026).

Customer concentration is extreme and regionally focused. The Department of Agriculture Forest Service R6 Pacific Northwest Region accounts for 83 awards worth $3.8 million (56% of combined potential value), while the Fire and Aviation Management National Interagency Fire Center anchors 13 awards valued at $2.4 million. Together these two Forest Service suborganizations represent 91% of award count and 96% of potential value, with minimal exposure to other agencies — the Occupational Safety and Health Review Commission, the R5 Pacific Southwest Region, and the Bureau of Land Management Idaho Region each represent single-digit award counts. Activity has remained relatively flat in recent years (4 awards in 2021, 5 in 2024, 3 in 2026 year-to-date), with primary work flowing through long-standing IDCs and BPAs rather than new competitive openings. The vendor's five largest parent vehicles (three IDCs and two BPAs) collectively account for 41 task orders valued at approximately $1.5 million combined. ACE Earthmoving's footprint is characterized by NAICS 541712 (Support Activities for Forestry) and PSC coding for natural resource conservation and equipment rental, reflecting a geographically dispersed but strategically narrow customer and mission focus tied to Forest Service emergency and land management operations in the western United States.
