Batchelor Excavation, LLC

Batchelor Excavation, LLC, doing business as J Batchelor Excavating, is a small business prime contractor based in Manson, Washington, providing excavation, road construction, infrastructure repair, and heavy equipment rental services to the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service and National Interagency Fire Center, operating exclusively under full-and-open and total small business set-aside designations. The company competes predominantly on Forest Service R6 delivery orders and BPA calls across a regional footprint in the Pacific Northwest.

Batchelor Excavation operates a concentrated, single-agency customer base. The Department of Agriculture Forest Service R6-Pacific Northwest Region accounts for 95 awards and $54.9 million of the vendor's $58.4 million combined potential value—94% of dollars. The National Interagency Fire Center represents 14 awards valued at $1.9 million. The remaining potential value flows from Forest Service operations elsewhere ($535 thousand across 16 awards) and minimal work with the Occupational Safety and Health Review Commission. The vendor holds a twenty-two-year award history dating to 1994, with recent activity at five to nine awards per year over the past five years and six awards year-to-date in 2026.

Recent representative work includes a $326,876 delivery order from Forest Service R6 awarded August 27, 2024, under the Forest Service R6 Road Construction IDIQ for roadway reconditioning, ditch and culvert work, drainage dip construction, and erosion control across the Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest, running through July 2026. A $200,607 BPA call under the FPO Northwest Road Maintenance Blanket Purchase Agreement, issued April 1, 2026, covers lower Sugarloaf BAER road treatments and road maintenance in the Entiat and Wenatchee River Ranger Districts, due September 6, 2026. Three delivery orders totaling approximately $132,000 were issued in August 2026 by Forest Service R6 for excavation and heavy equipment rental, completing August 30, 2026. Historical order sizes range from $2,655 to $326,876.

Batchelor Excavation holds five named parent vehicles. The $49 million FPO Northwest Road Maintenance Blanket Purchase Agreement (July 10, 2023–June 30, 2033) anchors the vendor's Forest Service R6 footprint and accounts for multiple recent delivery orders. Three National Interagency Fire Center indefinite-delivery contracts—awarded February 6, 2026, and May 28, 2024—provide $500,000, $500,000, and $250,000 ceilings respectively for miscellaneous heavy equipment rental across Regions 5 and 6 and the Pacific Northwest, all structured as total small business set-asides and running through May 2029. Historical Forest Service IDIQ vehicles for heavy equipment rental (VIPR procurement framework, NAICS 113311) support wildfire suppression, prescribed burn work, and all-hazard incident response. The vendor's award portfolio concentrates in Support Activities for Forestry (114 awards) and Highway, Street, and Bridge Construction (20 awards), reflecting NAICS and PSC coding for forest-range fire suppression, road construction and maintenance, and land treatment practices.

Batchelor Excavation has no subcontract footprint. The vendor operates as a 100% prime contractor. Work is performed in Wenatchee, Washington and subordinate field sites across the Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest and broader Pacific Northwest jurisdictions, including emergency response and BAER (Burned Area Emergency Response) deployments in the 25 Mile Fire (2022) and White River and Irving Peak fires (2023). The company is registered in SAM since 2004 and holds a Subchapter S corporation structure. Obligated dollars total $6.2 million (11% of potential value), indicating a substantial pipeline of unfunded or partially funded delivery orders and BPA calls extending into 2029.
