CM Backcountry Rentals, LLC

CM Backcountry Rentals, LLC, a self-certified small disadvantaged business based in McCall, Idaho, operates as a prime contractor providing outdoor recreational vehicle and equipment rental services to the U.S. Forest Service across multiple western regions. The vendor competes exclusively under total small business set-asides on its master IDIQ contract and predominantly non-set-aside delivery orders issued by regional Forest Service offices.

CM Backcountry Rentals specializes in renting all-terrain vehicles (ATVs), utility terrain vehicles (UTVs), trailers, and related outdoor gear to support federal land management, fire suppression, conservation, and operational activities. Recent representative work includes $9,296.50 and $46,000.20 delivery orders from Forest Service Region 6 (Pacific Northwest) for equipment rental supporting Baker City and Lakeview operations, a $35,183.20 order from Region 4 (Intermountain) for fire suppression support in Price, Utah, and numerous $7,000–$23,000 delivery orders across Regions 1, 2, 4, 5, and 6 for short-term equipment needs. The vendor also holds two newer IDIQ positions awarded in August 2026: a $250,000 multiple-award contract through August 2031 for off-highway vehicles nationwide, and a $250,000 contract through August 2028 for heavy equipment in West Zone Regions 5 and 6.

Customer concentration is heavily Forest Service–centric. The top five funding entities account for 90% of recent awards by count: Forest Service Region 4–Intermountain leads with 154 awards ($2.5 million combined potential value), followed by Region 6–Pacific Northwest with 100 awards ($2.3 million), Region 1–Northern with 80 awards ($905 thousand), Region 2–Rocky Mountain with 37 awards ($246 thousand), and Region 5–Pacific Southwest with 23 awards ($446 thousand). By potential value, the National Interagency Fire Center's master IDIQ dominates at 5 awards carrying $8 million combined potential, anchoring the vendor's total $15.3 million portfolio ceiling. The remaining regional offices follow, but their distribution by award count is far larger than by dollar magnitude—indicating many small, short-term delivery orders rather than large task orders.

The vendor's primary vehicle is IDIQ 1202RZ22T0108, awarded by the Forest Service National Interagency Fire Center on September 4, 2022, as a total small business set-aside with a $7.5 million ceiling and ultimate completion December 31, 2025 (per the 2024–2025 award descriptions) or extended through August 14, 2031 (per the 2026 IDV award). From this contract, 322 task orders totaling $3.7 million have been placed. A second IDIQ (1202RZ26T7052), a multiple-award total small business set-aside, generated 13 task orders worth $65 thousand. Nearly all individual delivery orders carry firm fixed pricing and no set-aside designation at order issuance, though they flow from set-aside parent contracts.

Activity has grown sharply: 24 awards in 2022, 57 in 2023, 150 in 2024, 91 in 2025, and 69 through mid-October 2026. Over 436 total awards in the source portfolio, 100% are prime contracts; no subcontract activity is recorded. Award coding concentrates heavily on truck, utility trailer, and RV rental (351 awards, NAICS 532111) and support activities for forestry (75 awards, NAICS 561730), with PSC codes dominated by lease/rental of ground effect vehicles and trailers (331 awards). CM Backcountry Rentals operates with no identified subcontractors, delivers directly to Forest Service regional offices across Regions 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, and occasionally other regions, and maintains a consistent posture of 100% small disadvantaged business set-aside positioning at the IDIQ level while accepting full-and-open competition on individual delivery orders.
