Crystal Avila

Crystal Avila, doing business as A & CC Equipment, a self-certified woman-owned small disadvantaged business based in San Ardo, California, supplies heavy equipment services for wildland fire suppression and all-hazard incident response to the U.S. Forest Service as a prime contractor, competing under Total Small Business and full-and-open set-asides across the Virtual Incident Procurement (VIPR) system.

A & CC Equipment is a sole proprietorship registered in SAM.gov since June 2019 and holds DOT Disadvantaged Business Enterprise certification alongside its self-certified small disadvantaged and woman-owned small business designations. The company operates exclusively within NAICS 33-9999 (Support Activities for Forestry) and PSC G-4130 (Natural Resources/Conservation – Forest-Range Fire Suppression/Presuppression), delivering dozers, excavators, feller bunchers, mulchers, masticators, road graders, skidders, and water-handling equipment for federal emergency response operations. All recent work—21 prime awards totaling $3.9 million in combined potential value—centers on fire suppression and incident management across the Pacific Southwest (Region 5) and Pacific Northwest (Region 6).

Customer concentration sits entirely within the Department of Agriculture Forest Service and its National Interagency Fire Center. The National Interagency Fire Center anchors the portfolio with seven IDV awards carrying $2.5 million combined potential value, while Region 5 (Pacific Southwest) accounts for nine awards at $1.1 million combined potential value. The remaining five awards ($297 thousand) are issued against the Forest Service base. The two rankings track identically—no tension between volume and dollars—reflecting a customer base of one federal agency spread across multiple internal procurement channels.

A & CC Equipment holds a stack of seven Indefinite Delivery Contracts issued by the National Interagency Fire Center under the VIPR system, with ceilings ranging from $250,000 to $500,000 per vehicle and completion dates extending through May 2030. The largest IDV (12569R24T7085) has generated ten task orders at $922 thousand combined potential value; three other vehicles have generated task orders in the range of $94 thousand to $232 thousand. Delivery orders under these vehicles are issued without set-aside designation, though the underlying IDVs themselves are Total Small Business set-asides. Recent named awards include a $232,308 firm-fixed-price delivery order to the Forest Service Region 5 for fire suppression equipment (August 12, 2026, completion September 14, 2026), a $107,800 order for the same region (August 11, 2026, completion August 24, 2026), a $189,000 order (August 4, 2025, completion September 8, 2025), and a $205,200 order for fire suppression and incident response (September 7, 2025, completion September 8, 2025).

Activity has grown from one award in 2023 to nine in 2025, with six awards in 2026 through mid-August. Combined dollars obligated stand at $1.4 million (35% of combined potential value), indicating modest utilization of ceilings to date. Place of performance concentrates in Solvang, California, with regional dispatch and emergency-response scope across Regions 5 and 6. A & CC Equipment does not hold sub-awards and operates as a pure prime contractor in the federal space, with no identified teaming relationships or parent primes.
