D And M Excavation And Fire Suppression, Inc.

D And M Excavation And Fire Suppression, Inc., a for-profit small business based in Payette, Idaho, provides heavy equipment rental, excavation services, and fire suppression support to federal wildland fire management and forestry programs as a prime contractor operating on full-and-open competition, with no subcontractor activity in its recent federal award portfolio.

The vendor's customer base concentrates entirely within the Department of Agriculture. The National Interagency Fire Center (Fire and Aviation Management) anchors the portfolio by potential value with 11 awards totaling $2.8 million, while the Forest Service's Pacific Northwest Region (Region 6) leads by award count with 20 delivery orders worth $1.3 million combined potential value. The Bureau of Land Management's Idaho Region rounds out the three largest customers with seven purchase orders totaling $678 thousand. All five customer agencies named in the portfolio fall within USDA or Interior land management operations. Recent work includes a June 2025 $180,000 purchase order from BLM Idaho for Type 2 skidder equipment and fire suppression services in Boise, a June 2025 $126,787 purchase order from USDA for excavator and excavation services in Boise, and a September 2024 $102,007 delivery order from the Forest Service's Intermountain Region for excavation and fire suppression in support of wildland fire management in the Pacific Northwest region.

The vendor holds a dense portfolio of Incident Blanket Purchase Agreements (I-BPAs) across the National Interagency Fire Center's Virtual Incident Procurement system. These indefinite delivery contracts, all awarded in 2023–2026 with $250,000 ceilings each and small business set-aside designations, establish standing authority to provide heavy equipment, water-handling equipment, and personnel for wildland fire suppression and prescribed burn work across Forest Service Regions 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 9, as well as optional availability to Interior and National Park Service. Sixteen task orders drawn from IDC 1204H124T7051 account for $1.1 million in combined potential value; seven task orders from IDC 12569R23T7559 carry $371 thousand. The bulk of delivery order activity occurred in summer and fall 2024, when D And M drew thirteen separate task orders worth approximately $917 thousand from its Region 6 I-BPA in support of active wildland fire operations and prescribed project work across Oregon and Wyoming.

Activity has grown substantially year over year—two awards in 2023 to twenty-three in 2024—but has moderated to eleven awards in 2025 and five so far in 2026. The vendor's recent award profile is heavily skewed toward purchase orders and delivery orders issued on firm fixed-price terms with short performance windows (typically 60–90 days); all awards carry full-and-open competition with no set-aside designations applied at the delivery-order or purchase-order level, despite the underlying IDVs and BPA vehicles carrying small business set-aside designations. Combined potential value across all 41 awards stands at $4.9 million, with $2.1 million obligated to date (44% realized).

Service Contract Inventory captures minimal federal services activity—D And M reports two subcontractor records totaling 1.4 FTEs in FY2024, indicating the vendor's federal engagement is overwhelmingly goods and equipment delivery rather than billable labor services. The vendor operates as a pure equipment and logistics provider for emergency response and forestry operations, with no visible prime service-contract work or teaming relationships with larger contractors in the source data.

The vendor's specialization in heavy equipment deployment for wildland fire suppression—dozers, excavators, skidders, and water-handling assets—positions it as a preferred regional provider for the Forest Service's Pacific Northwest and Intermountain operations and positions it for recurring task-order engagement during peak fire season when incident response demand concentrates across the West. The small business set-aside posture on the underlying I-BPA vehicles limits competition to firms meeting SBA size standards, a competitive advantage that has anchored D And M's relationship with the National Interagency Fire Center through multiple contract renewals.
