Benjamin Cody Moody

Benjamin Cody Moody, operating as Moody Mobile Welding, is a sole proprietorship registered as a self-certified small disadvantaged business that specializes in providing heavy equipment and related services to support federal wildland fire suppression and all-hazard incident response operations. Based in Exeter, California, the company has established itself as a critical vendor within the federal government's emergency response infrastructure, leveraging specialized procurement frameworks to deliver equipment and services across multiple U.S. Forest Service regions.

Moody Mobile Welding has demonstrated its operational capability through direct federal contract awards from the U.S. Forest Service, Region 5 (Pacific Southwest Region), totaling approximately $21,944.50 in executed contract value. The company fulfilled a delivery order valued at $9,172.00 awarded on September 28, 2024, for heavy equipment delivery to support operations in San Bernardino, California, with performance completed by September 29, 2024. Additionally, the company received a $12,772.50 purchase order executed on July 12, 2025, for the procurement of a dump truck to support the Forest Service's resource management and emergency response capabilities in Solvang, California. Both contract awards utilized firm fixed-price pricing structures and were not designated under any small business set-aside programs, despite the company's small disadvantaged business status. The funding source for these awards originated from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Forest Service, with no involvement of prime contractors, indicating these were direct awards to Moody Mobile Welding as the prime vendor.

Moody Mobile Welding currently holds two active Indefinite Delivery Contracts with the National Interagency Fire Center, both structured as multiple-award vehicles set aside for small businesses. The first IDC, awarded June 9, 2023, with a $250,000 ceiling and expiration date of June 9, 2028, is designated for heavy equipment procurement under the Virtual Incident Procurement (VIPR) system to support Regions 5 and 6 of the U.S. Forest Service. This contract supports the provision of specialized equipment including dozers, excavators, feller bunchers, mulchers, masticators, road graders, and skidders for wildland fire suppression and all-hazard incident response. The second IDC, awarded June 13, 2024, also carries a $250,000 ceiling with an expiration date of June 13, 2029, and is similarly designated for miscellaneous heavy equipment procurement specifically for Region 5 under the VIPR system. Both IDVs utilize firm fixed-price contract type arrangements and have generated task orders, with the September 28, 2024 delivery order representing activity under the older IDC. These Indefinite Delivery Contracts position Moody Mobile Welding as a qualified resource within the federal government's streamlined procurement process for critical emergency response equipment across the western United States.
