Burns Ford, Inc.

Burns Ford, Inc., a self-certified small disadvantaged business based in Burns, Oregon, supplies vehicle parts and repair services to federal agencies as a prime contractor on small-dollar purchase orders, competing full-and-open with no set-aside designation across its federal footprint. The company operates as a for-profit Subchapter S corporation and has completed twenty-two federal awards totaling $187 thousand in combined potential value over the past two decades, with recent activity concentrated in automotive repair and utility vehicle maintenance for Interior Department bureaus.

Burns Ford's customer base is narrowly concentrated on two Interior agencies. The Department of the Interior Bureau of Land Management Oregon-Washington region accounts for two awards totaling $20 thousand combined potential value, followed by the Idaho Region (one award, $11 thousand), the Fish and Wildlife Service Region 1 (two awards, $7 thousand), and the Department of Agriculture Forest Service R6-Pacific Northwest Region (one award, $175). This concentration reflects Burns Ford's geographic anchor in eastern Oregon and its role as a small local repair shop serving regional federal operations.

The vendor's capability footprint is restricted to ground-vehicle maintenance and parts supply. Recent representative work includes a $10,823 transmission repair purchase order for the Idaho Region completed by September 2026, a $12,927 particulate filter delivery for turbocharged vehicles to the Oregon-Washington Region, UTV repairs for the BLM Burns District ($7,075), and a $175 land-rental service call to the Forest Service Pacific Northwest Region. All awards are firm fixed-price purchase orders with no parent vehicles or subcontract relationships. Activity is sparse and episodic — one award per year since 2013 — with minimal recompete exposure in the next twenty-four months ($11 thousand from the Idaho Region transmission repair order).
