Brady's Backhoe And Excavation, Inc.

Brady's Backhoe And Excavation, Inc., a small-business Subchapter S corporation based in Ashland, Oregon, operates as a prime contractor delivering excavation, backhoe services, water-tender equipment, and wildland-fire support to the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service and the Department of the Interior. All 31 recent awards are prime contracts, with no subcontract work in the source record. The company competes predominantly under small-business set-asides; two of its three principal IDICs carry total small-business set-aside designations, and recent individual delivery orders split between set-aside and full-and-open competition.

Brady's Backhoe's customer base is heavily concentrated within the USDA Forest Service ecosystem. The top two customers account for 100% of awards by source data: the Pacific Northwest Region (Region 6) has issued 20 delivery orders valued at $834 thousand combined potential value, while the National Interagency Fire Center has issued 8 awards (three of them IDICs) totaling $1.1 million in combined potential value. The Department of the Interior Bureau of Land Management Idaho Region has placed two purchase orders for Type 1 water-tender vehicles worth $77 thousand combined. Work geography concentrates in Oregon and adjacent western states, with performance locations including Roseburg, Medford, Sandy, and Boise across the past four years.

Brady's Backhoe holds three active IDICs: a $500 thousand multiple-award indefinite delivery contract awarded by the National Interagency Fire Center on February 6, 2026 (completion May 29, 2030) for water-handling equipment and fire-suppression services across the Pacific Northwest Region; a $250 thousand small-business-set-aside IDIC awarded May 29, 2025 by the Forest Service Pacific Northwest Region (completion May 29, 2030) for water handling supporting wildland-fire suppression and all-hazard incident response; and a predecessor $250 thousand small-business-set-aside IDIC awarded June 2, 2022 (completion June 6, 2025). The three IDICs have generated 15 delivery orders totaling roughly $281 thousand in combined value, with individual task orders ranging from $2,154 to $55,001.87.

Recent representative work includes a $55,001.87 delivery order for excavation and equipment support awarded August 8, 2026 by the Forest Service Pacific Northwest Region (completion August 30, 2026); a $44,919.25 purchase order from the Bureau of Land Management Idaho Region for a Type 1 water-tender vehicle awarded June 1, 2025 (completion October 31, 2025); and a $19,782.01 delivery order from the Forest Service Pacific Northwest Region awarded October 29, 2025 for wildland-fire suppression and all-hazard incident response. Awards per year show a decline trajectory — six awards in 2022, one in 2023, one in 2024, four in 2025, and two in 2026 year-to-date — with combined potential value across all 31 awards totaling $2 million and obligated dollars at $485 thousand (24% of potential value).
