Battle Born Equipment LLC

Battle Born Equipment LLC, a small-business sole proprietorship based in Panaca, Nevada, supplies heavy equipment rentals to the USDA Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management for wildland fire suppression, prescribed burn operations, and all-hazard incident response as a prime contractor under total small business set-asides. The company operates exclusively as a prime on federal contracts and holds no subcontractor relationships; all 18 recent awards are prime delivery orders or indefinite delivery vehicle positions.

Battle Born Equipment specializes in deploying dozers, excavators, tractor plows, feller bunchers, mulchers, road graders, and skidders to support federal emergency response and land management operations across multiple Forest Service regions and BLM districts. Representative prime work includes a $147,477 delivery order from USDA Forest Service Region 4 (Intermountain) issued in July 2026 under a multiple-award heavy equipment IDV covering Regions 1, 2, 4, and 9; a $227,546 delivery order from the same region issued in July 2024 for equipment support in the Intermountain Region; and a $108,923 delivery order from USDA Forest Service Region 8 (Southern Region) issued in October 2023 under a small business set-aside IDV. The company also holds four indefinite delivery contracts with the National Interagency Fire Center and USDA Forest Service, two awarded in February 2026 with $500,000 ceilings each, one awarded in May 2024 with a $250,000 ceiling, and one awarded in June 2023 with a $250,000 ceiling — all total small business set-asides covering equipment rentals across Regions 1, 2, 4, and 9.

Customer concentration is narrow and regionally specific. The Department of Agriculture Forest Service and its regional offices account for 100% of awards across four customer entities: the Fire and Aviation Management National Interagency Fire Center (4 awards, $1.5 million combined potential value), Region 4 Intermountain (7 awards, $600 thousand), Region 8 Southern (5 awards, $289 thousand), and the Department of the Interior Bureau of Land Management Idaho Region (2 awards, $111 thousand). Activity peaked in 2023 with seven awards and has moderated to three to five awards annually since then. Eleven task orders have been placed under the primary Indefinite Delivery Contract (1202SB23T7315) carrying $662 thousand in combined potential value, with one task order under the second major vehicle (1202SB24T7217) at $228 thousand. All work is classified under NAICS 115310 (Support Activities for Forestry), with PSC codes concentrated on forest-range fire suppression and presuppression equipment rental. Combined potential value across all awards is $2.5 million, with $1 million obligated to date (40% of ceiling).
