Corwin Company, Inc.

Corwin Company, Inc., doing business as Corwin Co Inc., is a small business prime contractor headquartered in La Grande (Island City), Oregon, that provides transportation, equipment rental, and incident support services exclusively to the USDA Forest Service and National Interagency Fire Center for wildland fire suppression and all-hazard emergency response logistics across the western United States. The company competes entirely in the full-and-open market with no SBA set-asides on the majority of its awards, though it holds multiple total small business set-aside IDVs and BPAs with the National Interagency Fire Center.

Corwin's capability portfolio centers on mileage-based freight transportation (both government-owned and contractor-provided trailers), potable and gray water truck rental, trailer-mounted handwashing stations, heavy equipment rental with driver services, and specialized vehicle-with-driver incident support. Recent representative work includes a $113,644.78 delivery order from Forest Service Region 6 (August 2026) for transportation and incident support services under a total small business set-aside; an $85,400 delivery order (September 2025) for water trucks and handwashing stations serving Region 6 under a $500,000 IDIQ ceiling; a $73,561.47 delivery order (September 2025) for vehicle-with-driver incident support in Wenatchee, Washington; and a $99,000 purchase order (June 2025) for dump truck rental through the Idaho Region. A representative NIFC freight contract provides mileage-based transportation services at $9.85 per mile for government-owned trailers from the La Grande Incident Support Cache.

Customer concentration is extreme. Forest Service Region 6 (Pacific Northwest Region) accounts for 162 awards and $5.6 million in combined potential value, while the National Interagency Fire Center (Fire and Aviation Management) carries 41 awards and $10.7 million, collectively representing 91% of recent awards and 96% of combined potential value across 11 distinct federal customer agencies. The two rankings align tightly — NIFC leads both volume and dollars — but Corwin's customer base is effectively the Forest Service system and fire suppression infrastructure in the western United States. The Bureau of Land Management (Idaho Region and Oregon-Washington) provides secondary work at sub-$500,000 scale.

Corwin's vehicle portfolio comprises five principal IDVs and one large BPA, all held with the National Interagency Fire Center on total small business set-asides. A $7.5 million Blanket Purchase Agreement (National Tier 3 Incident Support Freight, awarded March 2022, running through December 2026) anchors mileage-based freight transportation at $8.19 to $9.85 per mile across annual pricing updates and has generated eight BPA calls. A $500,000 IDIQ for potable and gray water trucks and trailer-mounted handwashing stations serving Region 6 (awarded February 2026, running through May 2029) has generated at least one delivery order since award. Two $250,000 VIPRs for vehicle-with-driver services covering Regions 5 and 6 West Zone run through June 2028 and June 7, 2028 respectively. A $250,000 refrigerated trailer IDIQ (awarded August 2026, running through August 2030) serves Regions 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, and 9. The top five parent vehicles collectively carry 58 task orders and $1.465 million in combined potential value; the top vehicle (IDC 1204H119T7098) accounts for 25 task orders and $487,000.

Award activity has accelerated in recent years — eight awards in 2022, two in 2023, ten in 2024, eleven in 2025, and fifteen in 2026 year-to-date — indicating growing reliance on Corwin's incident support capacity within the Forest Service regional system. Only two awards with ultimate completion dates in the next twenty-four months carry a combined potential value of $73,000, presenting minimal recompete exposure in the near term; most of Corwin's revenue from its IDVs and BPAs appears to roll forward as annual task orders under standing vehicles rather than as discrete contracts approaching sunset.

Corwin operates entirely as a prime contractor (100% of awards) with no identified subcontractors. The company categorizes work across forestry support services (158 awards), specialized freight trucking (38 awards), equipment rental (11 to 15 awards depending on classification), and fire-fighting equipment provision. As a Subchapter S corporation established in 2004, Corwin has built a specialized, regionally concentrated federal footprint tied to western United States fire management infrastructure, with virtually no diversification into other customer agencies, geographic regions, or mission areas beyond wildfire suppression and emergency incident response.
