B&S Excavating Inc.

B&S Excavating Inc., a self-certified small disadvantaged and woman-owned business based in Selma, Oregon, provides heavy equipment and excavation services to the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service as a prime contractor exclusively under small-business set-asides. The company operates across support activities for forestry (NAICS 115310) and heavy equipment rental and leasing, delivering dozers, excavators, and related personnel to wildland fire suppression, all-hazard incident response, and prescribed burn operations across Regions 3, 5, and 6 of the western United States.

B&S Excavating's federal portfolio consists entirely of work with the USDA Forest Service — specifically the National Interagency Fire Center and two regional field offices — accounting for 100% of recent awards across 14 prime contracts and IDVs. The National Interagency Fire Center anchors the relationship with six indefinite-delivery contracts (total ceiling $2.05 million) awarded through the Virtual Incident Procurement system to supply heavy equipment with personnel and water support across multiple regions running through 2028–2030. The Forest Service's Pacific Northwest Region (R6) has issued six awards (combined potential value $810 thousand), including a $263,609 Type 4 excavator order for the Rogue River Siskiyou fire suppression operation awarded July 2026 and a $265,200 delivery order for excavation and heavy equipment services in Medford awarded July 2025. The Pacific Southwest Region (R5) accounts for two awards (combined potential value $361 thousand), including a $326,700 purchase order for mechanical vegetation treatment on the Snell Mastication Phase 10 project awarded September 2025. Activity has grown from two awards in 2023 to seven in 2026 year-to-date, with only one award (combined potential value $327 thousand) facing completion inside the next twenty-four months.

B&S Excavating holds three core IDVs on the National Interagency Fire Center's I-BPA vehicle: a $500,000 contract for West Zone heavy equipment covering Regions 3, 5, and 6 (awarded February 2026, running through May 2030); a $500,000 contract for miscellaneous heavy equipment in Region 6 only (awarded February 2026, running through August 2029); and a $500,000 contract for heavy equipment across Regions 5 and 6 (awarded February 2026, running through June 2028). B&S Excavating also holds two legacy IDVs with the same vehicle, each valued at $250,000, running through May 2030 and August 2029 respectively. All IDVs carry total small-business set-aside designations and enable dispatch-based ordering for emergency and prescribed-work operations. The company's recent delivery orders are predominantly full-and-open competitive or total small-business set-aside, with firm fixed-price terms and performance periods typically measured in days to months, reflecting the incident-driven nature of fire-suppression and land-management work.
