Dukes Equipment & Parts LLC

Dukes Equipment & Parts LLC, doing business as Dukes Equipment, is a self-certified small disadvantaged business located in Union Gap, Washington. The company specializes in providing heavy equipment rentals, machinery, and related operator services primarily to federal agencies, with a focus on supporting wildland firefighting, forestry operations, land management programs, and emergency response efforts across the western United States. As a limited liability company, Dukes Equipment has established itself as a key supplier of specialized machinery and operational support to government agencies, particularly the U.S. Forest Service and National Park Service.

The company has consistently provided a wide range of heavy equipment and associated services through federal contract awards, primarily focusing on rental and operational support for critical land management activities. Dukes Equipment supplies specialized machinery including dozers, excavators, skidgines, log loaders, feller bunchers, and other heavy equipment to support various operational needs. Most of their contract awards have been from the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service, specifically the Pacific Northwest Region (Region 6), with contract values ranging from $8,855 to $311,781. The contracts are typically firm fixed-price delivery orders that do not utilize specific set-aside designations, though the company itself is a small disadvantaged business. Their services have been critical in supporting wildland firefighting efforts, forestry operations, terrain modification, vegetation removal, and emergency response activities across national forests and grasslands.

Dukes Equipment holds multiple Indefinite Delivery Contracts (IDCs) with the U.S. Forest Service, each valued at approximately $250,000 and set aside for small businesses. These IDCs are primarily awarded through the Virtual Incident Procurement (VIPR) system and cover different geographic regions, including Regions 3, 5, and 6. The IDCs enable rapid acquisition of heavy equipment and related services, with contract periods extending to 2030. These contracts facilitate the issuance of delivery orders for equipment rentals, transportation, and operator services to support critical land management activities. The IDVs are designed to help the Forest Service quickly obtain necessary equipment and personnel for fire suppression, incident response, and land management operations across the western United States. Each IDV is a multiple-award contract with a firm fixed-price structure, allowing the Forest Service to issue task orders as needed to support their diverse operational requirements.
