Barry Brown, Inc.

Barry Brown, Inc., doing business as Barry Brown Inc., is a for-profit Subchapter S corporation headquartered in Crescent, Oregon, that provides heavy equipment rental — dozers, excavators, and related machinery — to the U.S. Forest Service in support of wildland firefighting, hazardous incident response, and land management operations. The company operates exclusively as a prime contractor (100% of recent awards) and holds a current position on multiple Forest Service indefinite-delivery contracts reserved for small business set-asides.

Barry Brown's customer base is highly concentrated in the Department of Agriculture Forest Service, which accounts for 96% of recent awards and represents 100% of combined potential value across the vendor's footprint. Within that agency, the Pacific Northwest Region (Region 6) dominates activity, with 28 awards valued at $2 million combined potential value, followed by the National Interagency Fire Center's Fire and Aviation Management office, which issued 8 awards totaling $1.5 million. Region 5 (Pacific Southwest) rounds out the active set with 3 awards at $533 thousand. Recent representative delivery orders include a $76,800 order issued July 27, 2026, for heavy equipment rental in Fossil, Oregon (total small business set-aside), a $152,084.92 order from Region 5 on August 22, 2023, for dozers and excavators in Yreka, California, and a $168,000 order from Region 6 on July 24, 2023. Combined obligated dollars across all awards total $2.7 million against a $4.4 million combined potential value ceiling.

Barry Brown holds two primary vehicle positions: an Indefinite Delivery Contract (12569R23T7481) with $1.2 million in combined task-order value and thirteen orders, and a second IDC (1204H120T7306) carrying ten task orders and $719 thousand combined potential value. The company also places work under five blanket purchase agreements with the Forest Service, generating a combined $509 thousand across fifteen orders. Activity has remained steady at two to seven awards per year over the past five years, with modest growth from two awards in 2021 to seven in 2024. Work is performed across Forest Service Regions 5 and 6, spanning Oregon, California, Washington, and New Mexico. The vendor operates on firm fixed-price delivery orders and competes under both small business set-aside and full-and-open designations, though recent activity shows a shift toward total small business set-asides on the newer West Zone Regions 5 and 6 IDIQ awarded February 6, 2026, with a $500,000 ceiling running through June 9, 2028.
