Boulder Ridge Construction, LLC

Boulder Ridge Construction, LLC, based in Canyon City, Oregon, is a small business limited liability company that provides construction services, heavy equipment rental, water truck provision, and certified operator personnel to the U.S. Forest Service and Department of Interior agencies as a prime contractor operating exclusively under total small business set-asides and full-and-open competitions.

Boulder Ridge's customer concentration is heavily tilted toward the Forest Service. The top five funding entities account for 98% of recent awards, dominated by two USDA arms: the Forest Service Fire and Aviation Management National Interagency Fire Center (13 awards, $4.3 million combined potential value) and the Forest Service Pacific Northwest Region (27 awards, $1.7 million). The remainder splits among the Forest Service Pacific Southwest Region, the Forest Service enterprise-wide, and the Department of Interior Bureau of Land Management Idaho Region. Notably, the potential-value ranking diverges from award count—the National Interagency Fire Center anchors the bulk of dollars despite placing fewer orders than Region 6, signaling that NIFC awards carry substantially higher ceilings. Boulder Ridge's capability footprint is tight: 51 of 52 awards fall under NAICS 541330 (Support Activities for Forestry), and 46 of 52 awards carry PSC code D313 (Natural Resources/Conservation—Forest-Range Fire Suppression/Presuppression), reflecting a deep specialization in wildland incident response rather than general construction.

Boulder Ridge sits on multiple Forest Service Vehicle Incident Procurement (VIPR) indefinite delivery contracts, the system through which the Forest Service rapidly deploys equipment and personnel to fire suppression and all-hazard incidents. The vendor holds at least five active VIPR I-BPAs, each valued up to $250,000 to $500,000 and running through 2028 or later, covering heavy equipment with water capabilities for Forest Service Regions 3 (Southwestern), 5 (Pacific Southwest), and 6 (Pacific Northwest). The top parent vehicle (IDC 1204H124T7028) has generated 12 task orders worth $831 thousand, followed by IDC 1202SB21T7770 with 10 task orders worth $545 thousand. These VIPR vehicles are multiple-award instruments, so Boulder Ridge competes alongside other small business contractors positioned near regional dispatch centers. Recent representative delivery orders include a $192,776.81 award from Region 6 on August 1, 2026, for construction and equipment rental in Sandy, Oregon; a $163,350 order on July 27, 2024, for similar services in Oregon; and a $159,800 order on August 20, 2023, for post-fire rehabilitation work in the Pacific Northwest.

Activity has grown notably: seven awards in 2022 rising to fifteen in 2026 (through late August). The vendor operates purely as a prime contractor (100% of recent awards) with no subcontract footprint, meaning all work is performed directly by Boulder Ridge personnel and equipment. Combined potential value across all 52 awards stands at $6.7 million, with $2.5 million obligated to date (37% of potential). Place of performance spans the Pacific Northwest (Fossil, Baker City, Sandy, Pendleton, Springfield, Oregon; Wenatchee, Washington), Pacific Southwest (California), and Southwestern regions (New Mexico), with administrative oversight rooted in the Canyon City, Oregon headquarters and regional dispatch coordination through the National Interagency Fire Center and Forest Service regional offices. No federal contract vehicles, parent contractors, or grant programs appear in the source; all work is delivery-order driven off VIPR IDIQs or full-and-open agency competitive procurements.
