Celtic American Trawls Chandlery & Hardware Inc.

Celtic American Trawls Chandlery & Hardware Inc., doing business as Catch Inc., is a small business based in Kalispell, Montana that supplies heavy equipment and related goods to support wildland fire management and hazard response operations for the Department of Agriculture Forest Service as a prime contractor (100% of recent awards), competing exclusively under small business set-asides.

Catch Inc. operates as a for-profit Subchapter S corporation and derives its entire award footprint from the Forest Service and subordinate entities. The vendor holds two indefinite delivery contracts for heavy equipment procurement in the East Zone (Regions 1, 2, 4, and 9): a $500,000 ceiling multiple-award IDC from the National Interagency Fire Center awarded February 6, 2026, and a $250,000 ceiling BPA from the Forest Service awarded June 1, 2023, both designated as total small business set-asides and running through June 2028. Recent delivery orders under these IDVs include a $44,950 firm fixed price order issued August 5, 2026 for equipment and services supporting wildland fire management; a $6,000 order from August 23, 2026; and earlier orders valued at $39,000 (August 2023), $34,500 (September 2022), and $4,100 (September 2023). The vendor has supplied heavy equipment including Type 2 dozers and unspecified equipment and services across these task orders, with all work performed in Kalispell.

Customer concentration is absolute: all thirteen awards in the source data flow from the Department of Agriculture Forest Service and its Fire and Aviation Management National Interagency Fire Center component. The top parent vehicles are the Indefinite Delivery Contract (4 task orders, $181 thousand combined potential value) and the Blanket Purchase Agreement AG0343B177069 (3 task orders, $200 thousand combined potential value). Combined potential value across all awards stands at $1.6 million, with $295 thousand obligated to date (19% of potential). Activity is sparse and episodic—one award each in 2020, 2021, and 2022, three awards in 2023, and three in 2026—with no subcontracting presence. The vendor's entire portfolio falls under NAICS 332325 (Support Activities for Forestry) and PSC Natural Resources/Conservation—Forest-Range Fire Suppression/Presuppression, reflecting a narrowly specialized niche serving regional wildland fire operations.
