Collard Shane R

Collard Shane R, a self-certified small disadvantaged business sole proprietorship based in Quemado, New Mexico, operates as a prime contractor providing vehicle-with-driver services and pack string transportation to support wildland fire suppression and land management operations across the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service. The vendor competes entirely as a prime under small business set-aside and full-and-open designations, with no subcontract footprint.

Collard Shane R's capability portfolio centers on on-demand transportation support for federal land management agencies. The vendor furnishes pickup trucks and stake-side trucks with operator support, potable water and gray water truck services, and pack string transportation. Representative work includes a $16,423.64 small business set-aside delivery order from Forest Service Region 3 (Southwestern) on July 6, 2026, for vehicle-with-driver services supporting wildland fire suppression in Flagstaff, Arizona; a $20,181.76 delivery order from Forest Service Region 2 (Rocky Mountain) in August 2025 for vehicle-with-driver support; and a $12,816 purchase order from Region 3 in July 2025 for pack string and transportation services in Silver City, New Mexico. Short-term delivery orders dominate the vendor's work pattern, ranging from $1,800 to $52,169 per order.

Customer concentration is absolute. The Department of Agriculture Forest Service accounts for all 36 prime awards and all $1.1 million in combined potential value. Within USDA, the Forest Service Fire and Aviation Management National Interagency Fire Center anchors potential value at $750 thousand across three IDIQs, while Region 3 (Southwestern) drives award volume with 26 delivery orders valued at $285 thousand combined. The remaining Forest Service regions (R1 Northern, R2 Rocky Mountain) account for six awards totaling $35 thousand.

The vendor holds two Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity contracts, each valued at $250 thousand, through the National Interagency Fire Center — one awarded February 6, 2026, running through April 27, 2028, and a second awarded April 27, 2023, also running through April 27, 2028. Both are total small business set-asides for vehicle-with-driver services (pickup and stake-side trucks) reserved for Region 3 operations. The two IDIQs carry seven and four task orders respectively, at $92 thousand and $50 thousand combined potential value. Task orders draw from these IDIQs on a delivery-order basis throughout the contract periods, with most orders completing within days to weeks.

Activity has been episodic. The vendor recorded three awards in 2021, nine in 2022, five in 2023, none in 2024, four in 2025, and two in 2026 year to date. The recent IDIQ awards (2023 and 2026) establish a standing vehicle-with-driver supply position for the Forest Service's fire suppression readiness, enabling rapid tactical ordering. The vendor's work spans Regions 1, 2, 3, 5, and 6, with primary concentration in the Southwestern (Region 3) and Rocky Mountain (Region 2) areas across New Mexico, Arizona, and Colorado.
