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 as a prime contractor exclusively, with 100% of recent awards placed under total small business set-asides through Indefinite Delivery Contracts and Blanket Purchase Agreements issued by the National Interagency Fire Center and regional Forest Service offices. The company operates as a for-profit limited liability corporation under primary NAICS 541712 (Support Activities for Forestry), delivering dozers, excavators, dump trucks, and personnel for wildland fire suppression, prescribed burn operations, and emergency all-hazard incident response across western U.S. Forest Service regions.

ACE Earthmoving's customer footprint is highly concentrated within the Department of Agriculture Forest Service. The top three customer entities account for 90% of awards: the Forest Service Region 6 Pacific Northwest Region (82 awards, $3.8 million combined potential value), the National Interagency Fire Center Fire and Aviation Management division (13 awards, $1.9 million), and the Forest Service Region 5 Pacific Southwest Region (2 awards, $167 thousand). The Occupational Safety and Health Review Commission and the Bureau of Land Management Idaho Region represent secondary customers with minimal exposure. Dollar concentration mirrors volume concentration, with Forest Service R6 and NIFC anchoring 96% of combined potential value across all awards.

ACE Earthmoving holds four active Indefinite Delivery Contracts, each with a $250 thousand ceiling and total small business set-asides, running through 2028 and 2029. Task orders flow through the Virtual Incident Procurement system and include a $62.4 thousand firm fixed-price purchase order for the VIPR Rail Ridge E-267 project (completion October 2025), a $101.97 thousand delivery order for Region 6 operations (completed October 2024), an $80.25 thousand delivery order for Medford, Oregon area work (completed August 2024), and a $99.8 thousand delivery order for Region 5 operations in Eureka, California (completed October 2023). The company's top five parent vehicles—three IDCs and two BPAs—generated 40 task orders with $1.5 million combined potential value. The top vehicle by value is Blanket Purchase Agreement AG04H1B177015 with 17 task orders totaling $487 thousand.

Activity has remained flat to declining, averaging fewer than two awards per year from 2021 through 2025, with only two awards issued in 2026. Combined potential value across all 126 awards totals $6.2 million, with $4.4 million obligated (71% execution rate). ACE Earthmoving operates exclusively as a prime contractor with no subcontract footprint, serving a single customer agency across geographically dispersed regions in the Pacific Northwest and Southwest, positioning the company as a specialized regional equipment provider for emergency response and land management operations under small business set-asides.
