Norris Church

Norris Church, a sole proprietorship based in Kanab, Utah, operates as a prime contractor specializing in wildland fire suppression, land management, and heavy equipment rental for federal land agencies — 100% of recent awards are prime contracts and indefinite-delivery vehicles, all set aside for total small business. The vendor operates exclusively within fire and forestry support services across NAICS 238990 (miscellaneous heavy equipment rental) and related forestry-support codes, delivering feller bunchers, mulcher/masticators, road graders, skidders, dozers, excavators, and tractor plows alongside operator and crew services for incident response, prescribed fire, and trail infrastructure work.

Customer concentration is acute and agency-aligned. The Department of Agriculture Forest Service Fire and Aviation Management National Interagency Fire Center accounts for four awards and $1.5 million in combined potential value — 79% of the vendor's total federal footprint — with three additional awards worth $165 thousand to the Forest Service R3-Southwestern Region and two to the Forest Service broadly. The Department of the Interior Bureau of Land Management Utah Region and Oregon-Washington hold two and one awards respectively, for $85 thousand combined. The vendor serves five distinct customer agencies, all within land and fire management.

Norris Church holds four indefinite-delivery contracts, all with the National Interagency Fire Center, running through April 2030. Two were awarded February 6, 2026, each with a $500 thousand ceiling, for miscellaneous heavy equipment to support Regions 3 and 8; two additional IDCs were awarded April 10, 2025, each with a $250 thousand ceiling, for heavy equipment (including dozers and excavators) to support Regions 3 and 8 under the VIPR I-BPA framework. A $75.4 thousand purchase order from the Bureau of Land Management Utah Region for the Peekaboo Trailhead Expansion near Kanab — clearing, grubbing, and aggregate parking lot construction — demonstrates the vendor's land development capability alongside fire services. Recent delivery orders issued in July 2026 include a $40 thousand and an $80.5 thousand ceiling for fire suppression and land management services in Flagstaff, Arizona, both set aside for total small business and carrying ultimate completion dates of July 13 and July 20, 2026.

Activity has been sparse and seasonal. The vendor recorded one award in 2019, two in 2020, one in 2024, two in 2025, and four in 2026. Combined potential value across all federal work is $1.9 million, with only $381 thousand obligated to date (20% of ceiling). All awards concentrate on support activities for forestry (10 awards) and heavy civil engineering construction (2 awards). The vendor does not subcontract and holds no subcontract positions with larger primes.
