American Pioneering Excavators And Drilling, Inc.

American Pioneering Excavators And Drilling, Inc., a woman-owned small disadvantaged business based in Kamiah, Idaho, provides heavy equipment and operator services for wildfire suppression, incident response, and land management exclusively as a prime contractor under small-business set-asides, with no subcontracting footprint. The company competes across total small business and competitive small business designations, and operates four active indefinite delivery contracts with the National Interagency Fire Center that carry a combined $1.5 million ceiling.

Customer concentration is extreme and singular. The Department of Agriculture Forest Service accounts for 22 of 23 awards (96% of award count) and $2.3 million of the $2.5 million combined potential value across all awards. Within USDA Forest Service, the Fire and Aviation Management National Interagency Fire Center dominates at 9 awards and $1.9 million combined potential value; the Forest Service Northern Region (R1) represents 7 awards and $251 thousand; and the Pacific Northwest Region (R6) represents 3 awards and $185 thousand. The Bureau of Land Management Idaho Region accounts for one award worth $43 thousand. The top-five-customer-by-potential-value ranking tracks identically with award count, reflecting deep operational focus on the National Interagency Fire Center's Virtual Incident Procurement system. The company also holds one completed purchase order for road repairs under the Collaborative Restoration Program.

Work portfolio splits across four active indefinite delivery contracts, all issued February 6, 2026, or earlier under the National Interagency Fire Center's Virtual Incident Procurement system. The Indefinite Delivery Contract 1202SB23T7593 and 12034320T7061 each carry a $250 thousand ceiling and have issued 6 task orders apiece ($234 thousand and $185 thousand combined potential value respectively); the 1202SB25T7097 contract carries a $250 thousand ceiling and has generated 3 task orders worth $189 thousand combined; and a $500 thousand IDC (awarded February 6, 2026, running through April 21, 2030) and another $500 thousand IDC (running through June 7, 2028) support the East Zone across Regions 1, 2, 4, and 9. Representative delivery orders include a $111,125 firm fixed-price order from Region 1 (August 1, 2025) for excavators, dozers, feller bunchers, and road graders with operators; a $110,855 order from Region 6 (July 31, 2026) for heavy equipment and operator services supporting wildfire suppression; and a $46,740 order from Region 1 (August 15, 2025) for similar equipment. All delivery orders carry firm fixed pricing and completion dates within days to weeks of award, reflecting incident-response urgency.

Activity has grown from two awards per year in 2022–2024 to six awards in 2025 and four in 2026, indicating expansion within the Forest Service's incident-response procurement. The company has received $716 thousand in obligated dollars across 23 awards, representing 29% of $2.5 million combined potential value; remaining ceiling value sits available under active IDCs. No awards carry set-aside recompete exposure in the next twenty-four months. The company's capability portfolio centers on deployment of excavators, dozers, feller bunchers, mulcher/masticators, road graders, skidders, tractor plows, and transport vehicles with trained, certified operators, classified under NAICS 541512 (Support Activities for Forestry) and PSC Natural Resources/Conservation–Forest-Range Fire Suppression/Presuppression. Work is performed across the Pacific Northwest and Northern regions of the Forest Service National Interagency Fire Center, with primary operational bases in Kamiah, Idaho and secondary performance at Wenatchee, Washington; Craigmont, Idaho; and Baker City, Oregon.
