Bar 4E Welding & Fabrication

Bar 4E Welding & Fabrication is a for-profit sole proprietorship registered in SAM.gov since January 2017, specializing in welding, fabrication, and heavy equipment services primarily for federal government agencies. Located in Oregon, the company provides critical support to wildland fire suppression and incident management operations, with a focus on delivering specialized equipment and technical services to the U.S. Forest Service. The business demonstrates expertise in providing excavators, skidgines, water tenders, and related heavy machinery, along with professional welding and fabrication capabilities that support emergency response and infrastructure maintenance efforts.

Throughout its federal contract history, Bar 4E Welding & Fabrication has consistently secured delivery orders from the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service, particularly within Regions 3, 5, and 6 (Pacific Northwest). The company's contract awards have ranged from $5,000 to $113,670, with services including welding fabrication, equipment delivery, and support for firefighting and hazard incident management programs. All of its recent federal contract awards have been firm fixed-price delivery orders without specific set-aside designations, though the underlying contract vehicles are total small business set-asides. The company has worked directly with various Forest Service agencies, including the National Interagency Fire Center, to provide essential equipment and services that support land protection and emergency response missions.

Bar 4E Welding & Fabrication holds multiple Indefinite Delivery Contracts (IDVs) through the Virtual Incident Procurement (VIPR) system, each with a $250,000 ceiling value and focused on supporting wildland fire suppression and all-hazard incident response. These multiple-award contracts are total small business set-asides with periods of performance ranging from 2023 to 2029, covering Regions 3, 5, and 6. The IDVs enable the Forest Service to rapidly acquire heavy equipment, including dozers, excavators, welding services, and water support resources. The contracts facilitate flexible, on-demand procurement of equipment, personnel, and services to support emergency response efforts, with delivery orders issued for specific equipment and service needs across the Forest Service's operational regions.
