D And M Excavation And Fire Suppression, Inc.

D And M Excavation And Fire Suppression, Inc., a small business based in Payette, Idaho, operates exclusively as a prime contractor providing heavy equipment rental, excavation services, and fire suppression support to federal wildland fire management and forestry programs. The vendor competes entirely under total small business set-asides on its indefinite delivery contracts and draws delivery orders under those vehicles on both set-aside and full-and-open terms. D And M serves five federal customer agencies across a concentrated footprint: the Department of Agriculture Forest Service Fire and Aviation Management National Interagency Fire Center (13 awards, $4.5 million combined potential value), the Department of Agriculture Forest Service Region 6–Pacific Northwest Region (31 awards, $1.9 million combined potential value), the Department of the Interior Bureau of Land Management Idaho Region (7 awards, $678 thousand combined potential value), and two smaller Forest Service segments accounting for the remainder. The combined portfolio spans 54 prime awards totaling $7.3 million in potential value.

D And M's capability footprint centers on the deployment of heavy equipment—dozers, excavators, skidders, and water-handling assets—for emergency wildland fire suppression, all-hazard incident response, and prescribed burn project work. Recent representative awards include a $174,760 delivery order from USDA Forest Service Region 6 (July 24, 2026) for excavation and fire suppression services at Pendleton, Oregon, under an Incident Blanket Purchase Agreement; a $180,000 purchase order from the Department of Agriculture Idaho Region (June 1, 2025) for Type 2 skidder equipment and maintenance; and a $128,000 purchase order from the same agency (June 1, 2025) for Type 2 skidder services. The vendor holds a dense portfolio of small business set-aside Indefinite Delivery Contracts through the National Interagency Fire Center's Virtual Incident Procurement system, including contracts for heavy equipment covering East Zone (Regions 1, 2, 4, and 9) with a $250,000 ceiling, West Zone heavy equipment with water (Regions 3, 5, and 6) with a $500,000 ceiling, and Region 6 heavy equipment taskforce resources with a $250,000 ceiling, among others. The Forest Service's Region 6 awarded a $250,000 IDC to D And M on July 7, 2025, for the Heavy Equipment Taskforce program through 2030. Task-order activity concentrates during peak fire season, with individual delivery orders typically carrying 60- to 90-day performance windows and firm fixed-price terms.

Activity has grown substantially year over year—from two awards in 2023 to 23 in 2024, 11 in 2025, and 18 in 2026 through mid-September. The vendor operates as a pure equipment and logistics provider with no subcontractor activity in its recent federal award portfolio and no visible sub-award history. Place of performance spans the Pacific Northwest and Intermountain regions, with concentrated operations in Oregon, Wyoming, and Idaho. SCI-reported data captures minimal service contract activity (1.4 FTEs in FY2024 across two named subcontractor records), reflecting the vendor's goods-and-equipment-centric business model rather than billable labor service delivery. The vendor's competitive posture across its large portfolio of full-and-open delivery orders—issued without set-aside designation despite holding total small business set-aside IDCs—signals consistent success competing on cost and capability within the federal wildland fire management ecosystem.
