Barton Excavating Inc.

Barton Excavating Inc., a HUBZone-certified SBA small disadvantaged business based in Ephraim, Utah, provides heavy equipment rental, water handling services, and trained personnel to the U.S. Forest Service and Department of the Interior for wildland fire suppression, emergency response, and all-hazard incident management as a prime contractor on total small business set-aside IDIQs and delivery orders. The company operates exclusively as a prime contractor (100% of recent awards) and competes entirely under set-aside vehicles, with $4.6 million in combined potential value across 35 federal awards.

Barton Excavating's customer footprint concentrates heavily on Forest Service fire and emergency programs. The National Interagency Fire Center anchors the portfolio at $3.3 million across nine awards (nine IDIQs and delivery orders), while Forest Service Region 4 (Intermountain) accounts for $923 thousand across seventeen delivery orders—together representing 91% of recent awards. The top five customers span USDA Forest Service entities, the Department of the Interior Bureau of Land Management, and a Forest Service research station, accounting for 100% of combined potential value. The regional concentration reflects the vendor's strategic positioning within the Virtual Incident Procurement (VIPR) system, which administers rapid-deployment contracts for emergency response across Forest Service Regions 1 through 9.

Barton Excavating holds five core IDIQs through the National Interagency Fire Center, each carrying a $500,000 ceiling and awarded under total small business set-asides on February 6, 2026, running through 2029–2030. These vehicles cover refrigerated trailers (eight regions, through June 2, 2030), water handling equipment (East Zone Regions 1, 2, 4, and 9, through May 30, 2030), miscellaneous heavy equipment including feller bunchers and graders (East Zone Regions 1, 2, and 4, through May 14, 2029), and heavy equipment for East Zone regions (through June 1, 2028). The vendor also holds four legacy IDIQs awarded between May 2022 and June 2025, each with $250,000 ceilings, covering identical service lines and geographies. These vehicles carry firm fixed-price structures and optional use by the Department of the Interior, National Park Service, and Bureau of Indian Affairs. Recent delivery order activity under the vendor's primary IDIQ vehicle (1202SB23T7314) generated six task orders totaling $395 thousand, with orders ranging from $12,500 to $81,782 across 2025 and 2026 performance periods ending within one to two weeks of award date.

Activity has accelerated dramatically—one award annually in 2022–2024, then eleven in 2025 and eighteen in 2026 year-to-date. The vendor's award portfolio spans support activities for forestry (30 awards, 86% of volume) and specialized freight trucking (four awards), with procurement codes dominated by natural resources/forest fire suppression (31 awards). Geographic performance concentrates in the Intermountain West (Monroe, Venice, Riverton, and Moab, Utah; Jackson, Wyoming; Durango, Colorado; Boise and Sparks, Nevada), reflecting fire season deployment across Forest Service regions. No federal contracts expired or face recompete in the next twelve months; however, three legacy IDIQs awarded in 2022–2023 expire between May and June 2025, and the current portfolio of $500,000-ceiling vehicles extends through 2029–2030. The vendor has no subcontract activity, no parent-company relationships named in the source, and maintains a published registration with SAM.gov since 2003.
