Dahle Construction LLC

Dahle Construction LLC, a Salmon, Idaho–based small business limited liability company, provides construction, heavy equipment rental, mechanic services, and emergency infrastructure support to the U.S. Forest Service and other federal land-management agencies as a prime contractor on 70 federal awards with no subcontract footprint. The vendor holds a total small business set-aside posture across its primary indefinite delivery contracts and competes predominantly under that designation, though individual delivery orders may carry no set-aside language.

Dahle's customer base is heavily concentrated within the Department of Agriculture's Forest Service. The top five funding entities account for 86% of awards and 93% of combined potential value, dominated by the Forest Service's Region 4 Intermountain Region (45 awards, $2.5 million combined potential value) and the National Interagency Fire Center (7 awards, $1.3 million combined potential value). The remaining concentration flows to the Forest Service's Rocky Mountain Region (Region 2) and Rocky Mountain Research Station, with minimal Army exposure through a single $18 thousand Oregon National Guard latrine purchase order in July 2025. The split between volume and dollars is tight—Intermountain Region drives both metrics equally.

Dahle's capability portfolio centers on wildland fire suppression support, construction and infrastructure maintenance, heavy equipment rental, and emergency facility repairs across U.S. Forest Service lands. Representative work includes $102,932 and $79,695 firm fixed-price delivery orders from Forest Service Region 4 for construction and equipment rental supporting infrastructure upgrades at Sawtooth National Forest (September and October 2022), $65,835 for landslide assessments and emergency facility repairs also under Region 4 (October 2024), $37,800 for wildfire suppression and incident response equipment support (October 2024), and $12,040 for latrines and handwash stations supporting Army 17th FAB training in Boise (April 2026). The vendor also supplies mechanic services with service trucks and provides equipment for emergency incident response operations across Forest Service regions 1, 2, 4, and 9.

Dahle holds four indefinite delivery contracts worth $250,000 each: two multiple-award IDVs with the National Interagency Fire Center awarded in February 2026 covering heavy equipment and mechanic services with service trucks for the East Zone (Regions 1, 2, 4, and 9) through June 2028; and two Forest Service vehicles—a June 2023 VIPR I-BPA for mechanic services covering Regions 1, 2, and 4 through June 2028, and a June 2023 VIPR I-BPA for heavy equipment covering Regions 1, 2, 4, and 9 through June 2028. The top three IDVs by task-order count are IDC 1202SB23T7358 (19 task orders, $800 thousand combined potential value), IDC 1284M820T7132 (7 task orders, $314 thousand combined potential value), and BPA AG82X9B147103 (4 task orders, $101 thousand combined potential value). Category concentration aligns tightly with capability: 47 of 70 awards fall under Support Activities for Forestry (NAICS 115310), and 41 awards carry the Natural Resources/Conservation forest fire suppression PSC code.

Activity trended upward from 2022 through 2024 (8, 8, and 13 awards respectively), then declined sharply to 6 awards in 2025 and 3 through April 2026. Combined potential value across all awards totals $4.6 million with $2.7 million obligated (59% realization rate). The vendor is registered in the System for Award Management as a small business since 2003, anchoring a twenty-three-year presence in the Forest Service supply base for emergency and routine infrastructure support in the Intermountain and Rocky Mountain regions.
