David Deshazer

David Deshazer is the owner of Deshazer Excavation, a sole proprietorship based in Libby, Montana that provides excavation services and heavy equipment to government agencies.

Deshazer Excavation has received numerous federal contract awards as a prime contractor from the Department of Agriculture Forest Service to provide excavators, dozers, and water tenders in support of wildland fire suppression and land management operations. The Forest Service has issued the company delivery orders against indefinite delivery contracts for this equipment, with performance locations including Libby and Missoula, Montana as well as Albuquerque, New Mexico. Additionally, Deshazer Excavation has been awarded small business set-aside contracts to furnish heavy equipment more broadly for incident response use by the Forest Service Northern Region. Task orders under these vehicles have ranged from approximately $3,000 to $36,000.

Deshazer Excavation holds two indefinite delivery contracts with the Forest Service to provide heavy equipment and water handling equipment for wildland fire and all-hazard incident response. The multiple award IDCs have a potential value of $250,000 each and are set aside for small businesses. One covers heavy equipment for the Northern Region while the second is for water handling equipment. The Forest Service has issued delivery orders against these contracts on a firm fixed price basis for items ranging from excavators and dozers to water tenders. The IDCs enable the agency to rapidly procure equipment from Deshazer Excavation to support time-sensitive wildfire suppression and land management projects across the Forest Service's Northern Region, which spans several northwestern states.
