Douglas Young

Douglas Young, operating as D&D Motors, is a self-certified small disadvantaged business sole proprietorship providing heavy equipment rental and support services for wildland fire suppression and all-hazard incident response to the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service as a prime contractor across multiple small-business-set-aside delivery orders and indefinite-delivery contracts. The Burnsville, North Carolina-based vendor competes exclusively under small business set-asides and has maintained continuous federal engagement since 2005.

D&D Motors' capability footprint centers on equipment rental and transportation services for emergency response operations. The vendor supplies dozers, excavators, tractor plows, and related personnel support to Forest Service regions across the Southeastern and Southwestern United States. Representative prime work includes a $67,600 delivery order issued by Forest Service Region 8-Southern on April 2, 2026, under a $250,000-ceiling Virtual Incident Procurement (VIPR) Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity contract for heavy equipment rental supporting fire suppression; a $151,950 delivery order from Region 8-Southern on March 1, 2025, under the same VIPR vehicle; and a $31,200 delivery order from Region 8-Southern on March 19, 2024, under small-business-set-aside IDIQ authority.

Customer concentration is extreme and narrow. The Department of Agriculture Forest Service R8-Southern Region accounts for 36 of 68 total prime awards (53% of award count) with $1.3 million in combined potential value — representing 62% of the vendor's named customer agencies and 50% of combined potential value. The Department of Agriculture Forest Service Fire and Aviation Management's National Interagency Fire Center holds two awards worth $500 thousand (19% of combined potential value), and the Department of Agriculture Forest Service Research Service's Southern Research Station holds two awards worth $19 thousand. The top three customer lines account for 69% of combined potential value; all four named customer agencies operate within the Department of Agriculture.

D&D Motors holds two active VIPR Indefinite Delivery Contracts with the Forest Service, each carrying a $250,000 ceiling. The first, awarded May 10, 2023, under contract 1202SB23T7210, carries a completion date of May 10, 2028, and has generated 11 task orders worth $378 thousand in combined potential value. The second, awarded February 6, 2026, under contract authority referenced as supporting Regions 3 and 8 with a completion date of May 10, 2028, represents a renewal or expansion of the vendor's VIPR position. A third vehicle, Basic Ordering Agreement AG4568C078010, has generated 12 task orders worth $100 thousand. Additional vehicles include Blanket Purchase Agreement AG43N9B147008 (9 task orders, $76 thousand) and Indefinite Delivery Contract 1243N921T7010 (6 task orders, $99 thousand).

Award activity shows volatility: two awards in 2022, nine in 2023, two in 2024, two in 2025, and four in 2026 (through April). Combined potential value across all 68 prime awards is $2.6 million, with $931 thousand obligated to date (35% of potential value). The vendor has no recorded subcontract awards and operates as a 100% prime contractor. Work is performed in Asheville and Burnsville, North Carolina, with equipment and personnel deployed across Forest Service Regions 3 and 8 during fire suppression and emergency operations.
