Bo Rowley

Bo Rowley, doing business as Rowley Engineering, is a sole proprietorship based in Arroyo Grande, California, registered in SAM.gov and specializing in heavy equipment rental and support services for wildfire and emergency response efforts. As a for-profit small business organization, the company provides critical machinery and personnel to federal agencies, particularly the U.S. Forest Service. Rowley Engineering has demonstrated significant expertise in rapidly deploying heavy equipment such as dozers, excavators, and other machinery to support wildfire suppression, landscape rehabilitation, and all-hazard incident response across the western United States.

Rowley Engineering has primarily provided services through federal contract awards from the U.S. Forest Service, specifically in the Pacific Southwest Region (Region 5). The company's contract awards have included firm-fixed-price delivery orders ranging from $22,192 to $237,186, focused on supplying heavy equipment like D6 dozers, transportation services, and personnel for wildfire and emergency response operations. These contracts have not utilized set-asides, indicating the company's competitive positioning. The federal contract awards consistently involve supporting wildland fire and all-hazard incident responses, with performance periods typically spanning several months and involving direct equipment rental and operational support.

The company holds multiple Indefinite Delivery Contracts (IDCs) with the U.S. Forest Service's National Interagency Fire Center, each with a $250,000 ceiling value. These IDCs are total small business set-asides and cover multiple award scenarios for heavy equipment rentals across Regions 5 and 6, which encompass California, Oregon, and Washington. The IDCs, solicited through the Virtual Incident Procurement (VIPR) system, enable Rowley Engineering to provide miscellaneous heavy equipment including feller bunchers, mulchers, masticators, road graders, and skidders. The contracts have performance periods extending to 2028 and 2030, demonstrating the company's long-term strategic positioning in supporting federal wildfire and emergency response infrastructure through rapid, flexible equipment procurement.
