EK Equipment Repair LLC

EK Equipment Repair LLC, a Montana-based sole proprietorship and small business, holds three prime federal IDVs for heavy equipment and mechanic repair services across fire-suppression and natural-resource management agencies, all awarded in the past fourteen months and totaling $12.5 million in combined potential value. All three awards carry small-business set-aside designations.

EK Equipment Repair specializes in field-mobile mechanic services and heavy equipment repair. The vendor's current portfolio consists of two indefinite-delivery contracts with the National Interagency Fire Center (part of USDA Forest Service) for mechanic services with service trucks supporting fire-suppression operations in the East Zone (Regions 1, 2, and 4), each with a $250 thousand ceiling through May 30, 2030, and a $12 million blanket purchase agreement with the Department of the Interior Fish and Wildlife Service Region 6 for heavy equipment repair services running through May 31, 2036. The Fire Center contracts, awarded May 30, 2025 and February 6, 2026, are firm fixed-price small-business set-aside IDVs covering mechanic support for fire suppression and all-hazard incident response; the USDA Forest Service contract permits annual on-ramping to add contractors and use by other federal interagency cooperators. The Fish and Wildlife Service BPA, awarded May 26, 2026, carries no set-aside designation and includes a recent bilateral modification adding FAR 52.222-90 (Paid Leave for Federal Contractors and Subcontractors) under Executive Order 14398.

Customer concentration is split between two agencies: Department of the Interior Fish and Wildlife Service Region 6 anchors 96% of potential value ($12 million, one award), while the National Interagency Fire Center accounts for two awards at $500 thousand combined value. The vendor operates exclusively as a prime contractor with no documented subcontract activity. Activity is nascent — one award in 2025 and two in 2026 — with no recompete cliff activity in the near term.

The company also provides repair services for over the road truck and trailers as well as DOT inspections. Owner is highly skilled with over 35 years of experience working on diesel and gas engines.
