Chad Johnson Trucking, Inc.

Chad Johnson Trucking, Inc., doing business as Johnson Grading, is a self-certified small disadvantaged business based in Murrieta, California, that provides transportation and heavy equipment rental services to the federal government exclusively as a prime contractor under Total Small Business and competitive set-asides. The company, a Subchapter S Corporation, operates across Support Activities for Forestry (NAICS 115310) and General Freight Trucking (NAICS 484110), serving a narrow but mission-critical customer base in wildland fire and all-hazard incident response logistics.

Chad Johnson Trucking's customer concentration is extreme: the Department of Agriculture Forest Service Fire and Aviation Management's National Interagency Fire Center accounts for $8.4 million of the company's $9 million combined potential value across 27 prime awards — 93% of the total portfolio. A second USDA Forest Service entity (Fire and Aviation Management Federal Fire and Aviation Management) and the Regional office (R5-Pacific Southwest Region) together represent the remaining dollars in nominally distributed awards, but the company's revenue footprint is operationally centered on supporting the National Tier 3 Incident Support Freight program through the National Interagency Fire Center. Representative work includes a $100,000 ceiling BPA call order awarded March 3, 2026, for Tier 3 Cache Freight transportation services at the Ontario, California incident support cache, priced at $7.50 per mile for moving government trailers between the cache and active fire sites; a $75,000 BPA call from January 8, 2025, for the same service at $5.75 per mile; and an $88,800 delivery order from July 13, 2024, for transportation supporting wildland fire suppression in California.

The company holds three significant indefinite delivery vehicles with the USDA Forest Service: a $7.5 million single-award Blanket Purchase Agreement for nationwide commercial freight delivery under the National Tier 3 Incident Support Freight program (awarded March 8, 2022, extending through December 31, 2026); a $250,000 multiple-award Indefinite Delivery Contract for heavy equipment rental in West Zone Regions 5 and 6 (awarded June 9, 2023, through June 9, 2028); and a second $250,000 multiple-award IDC for the same scope (awarded February 6, 2026, through June 9, 2028). Task orders against these vehicles reflect firm-fixed-price unit rates ranging from $4.75 to $7.50 per mile for government trailer transportation. Activity has remained flat at one to two awards per year over the past five years, with only one award (combined potential value $100,000) facing ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months. Chad Johnson Trucking operates as a pure prime contractor with no subcontract work in the source data and does not hold a position on government-wide acquisition contracts or multi-agency IDIQs, making the company's competitive footprint and teaming value narrowly confined to wildland fire logistics and incident response procurement.
