Christman Trucking Inc.

Christman Trucking Inc., a woman-owned small business based in Baker City, Oregon, provides transportation services and equipment support for wildland firefighting and forest management operations as a prime contractor exclusively under total small business set-asides. The company operates as a for-profit corporate entity with a single customer concentration in the Department of Agriculture's Forest Service and related interagency fire-management entities across the Pacific Northwest and western United States.

Christman's capability portfolio centers on transportation of specialized fire-suppression equipment — water tenders (Type 1, 2, and 3), potable water trucks, engines (Type 3 through 6), excavation equipment, and other vehicles and gear required for wildland incident response. Representative work includes a $36,750 delivery order from the U.S. Forest Service Region 6 (Pacific Northwest Region) in August 2026 for transportation services and equipment support during active firefighting operations, a $60,450 delivery order from the same region in July 2026 for water tender and equipment transportation to Pendleton, Oregon, and a $39,500 delivery order in July 2026 for similar services with ultimate completion by July 28, 2026. Orders typically carry firm fixed pricing and flow through the Virtual Incident Procurement (VIPR) system, which the Forest Service uses to procure incident response resources on an as-needed basis.

Customer concentration is nearly absolute. The Department of Agriculture Forest Service R6-Pacific Northwest Region accounts for 33 awards with $1.4 million in combined potential value, while the Department of Agriculture Forest Service Fire and Aviation Management National Interagency Fire Center carries 8 awards totaling $2.3 million — together they represent 100% of Christman's tracked awards. The top-five parent vehicles are all IDIQs and Blanket Purchase Agreements, led by Indefinite Delivery Contract 1202SB22T7642 (7 task orders, $168 thousand combined potential value), BPA AG04H1B147034 (5 task orders, $98 thousand), and BPA AG04H1B167205 (5 task orders, $64 thousand). Christman holds multiple National Interagency Fire Center IDIQs set aside for small business, including a $500,000 water-handling IDIQ running through May 2030, a $500,000 heavy-equipment IDIQ running through June 2028, and a $250,000 water-handling I-BPA also through May 2030.

Activity patterns show seasonality and incident-driven procurement. Six awards landed in 2026 (through August), three in 2024, one in 2025, five in 2022, and a single award in 2023 over the fourteen-year source window. Combined potential value across all 44 prime awards stands at $3.7 million, with $564 thousand obligated (15% of potential). Primary NAICS framing is Support Activities for Forestry (PSC Natural Resources/Conservation—Forest-Range Fire Suppression/Presuppression), with all but one award falling under that classification. Christman operates exclusively as a prime; no sub-award activity appears in the source.
