Conner Construction

Conner Construction is a veteran-owned small business located in Lake Isabella, California, registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) since 2004. The company specializes in providing heavy equipment rental services, primarily supporting wildland firefighting and all-hazard incident response operations for federal agencies. As a sole proprietorship, Conner Construction has established itself as a critical vendor for emergency response equipment, focusing on the rental of specialized machinery such as dozers and excavators to support critical public safety needs.

Through its federal contract awards, Conner Construction has consistently provided heavy equipment rental services to the U.S. Forest Service, particularly for wildfire suppression and emergency response initiatives. The company's contract awards have included firm-fixed price delivery orders for equipment rental, with contract values ranging from approximately $28,000 to $83,000. These contracts have been primarily awarded through the Forest Service's Virtual Incident Procurement (VIPR) program, with no specific set-aside designations. The company's equipment has been utilized across Western United States regions, specifically supporting fire suppression efforts in California and surrounding areas, with contracts involving the rental of Type 2 dozers and other heavy machinery critical for incident response.

Conner Construction holds two significant Indefinite Delivery Contracts (IDVs) with the Department of Agriculture Forest Service, each with a potential value of $250,000. These multiple-award IDVs cover heavy equipment rental services for West Zone Regions 5 and 6, and specifically for the Pacific Southwest Region. The contracts are set aside for small businesses and are designed to provide rapid access to earthmoving machinery during fire seasons and emergency incidents. The IDVs allow for the rental of equipment including Dozers Types 1-4 and Excavators Types 1-4, with performance periods extending through June 2028. These contracts are managed through the National Interagency Fire Center and are structured to enable quick mobilization of equipment and operators during time-sensitive public safety scenarios, reflecting the critical nature of Conner Construction's services in emergency response infrastructure.
