Amerisource Contracting, LLC

Amerisource Contracting, LLC, a woman-owned small disadvantaged business sole proprietorship based in Natchez, Mississippi, supplies heavy equipment rental for fire suppression and incident response to the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service as a prime contractor exclusively under total small business set-asides. The vendor operates 100% as a prime, with all four recent awards flowing from a single customer—the National Interagency Fire Center serving Forest Service Regions 3 and 8.

Amerisource's footprint is narrow and specialized. The vendor holds four indefinite delivery contracts, each valued at a $250,000 ceiling, all awarded between April 2024 and February 2026, for miscellaneous heavy equipment rental including feller bunchers, mulcher/masticators, road graders, skidders, dozers, excavators, tractor plows, and transport equipment. Two of these contracts were issued by USDA Forest Service directly (one awarded April 22, 2024, and one April 1, 2024, both running through May 10, 2028); two were issued by the National Interagency Fire Center under firm fixed-price structures (awarded February 6, 2026, running through April 22, 2029, and May 10, 2028, respectively). All four contracts are structured as multiple-award vehicles with optional use authorized for interagency partners, meaning Amerisource competes for task orders alongside other small business contractors. Equipment rental rates are structured on a 16-hour daily shift basis, and the vendor is responsible for providing trained and certified personnel to support all-hazard incident response, fire suppression operations, and prescribed project work across the designated regions.

Customer concentration is absolute: the National Interagency Fire Center and Forest Service account for 100% of awards and combined potential value ($1 million across all four contracts). Activity is minimal and episodic (two awards in 2024, two in 2026) with no sub-award activity. The vendor's NAICS and PSC coding reflects a pure-play posture in support activities for forestry and forest-range fire suppression, with no diversification into other federal service lines or customer agencies visible in recent award history.
