Bridger Mcdonald Excavation Inc.

Bridger Mcdonald Excavation Inc., a for-profit Subchapter S corporation headquartered in Seeley Lake, Montana, supplies heavy equipment (dozers, excavators, tractor plows) for wildland fire suppression and incident response to the Department of Agriculture's Forest Service as a prime contractor under Total Small Business set-aside vehicles. The vendor operates exclusively as a prime on federal work and competes entirely within small business set-asides across its active footprint.

All three of Bridger Mcdonald's recent federal awards funnel through the Department of Agriculture's Forest Service Fire and Aviation Management National Interagency Fire Center (two awards, $500 thousand combined potential value) and the Forest Service Region 1 Northern Region (one award, $53 thousand). The vendor holds two Indefinite Delivery Contracts — both multi-award, firm fixed price vehicles reserved for Total Small Business set-asides — for heavy equipment procurement supporting fire suppression across U.S. Forest Service Regions 1, 2, 4, and 9 through June 1, 2028. The first IDC was awarded June 1, 2023 with a $250 thousand ceiling; the second IDC was awarded February 6, 2026 (five months ago) also with a $250 thousand ceiling. Against the first IDC, a delivery order for $52,780 was placed September 14, 2024 (completion September 26, 2024) to supply equipment for the Northern Region. Bridger Mcdonald has no subcontract footprint and does not hold positions on GWACs, multiple-agency BPAs, or GSA Schedules.

The vendor's activity volume is minimal — one award per year across 2023, 2024, and 2026 — with combined potential value of $553 thousand and only $53 thousand obligated to date (10% realization). Both IDC vehicles remain active through June 2028 and represent the primary pipeline for future task orders, contingent on the National Interagency Fire Center's equipment demand within the designated regions.
