Elk Ridge Ranch LLC

Elk Ridge Ranch LLC is a for-profit small business located in Grangeville, Idaho, specializing in providing heavy equipment, operators, and logistical support services primarily to the U.S. Forest Service and National Interagency Fire Center. Registered in SAM.gov since 2016, the company has established itself as a critical contractor for wildland fire suppression, land management, and all-hazard incident response operations across multiple regions in the western United States. The company offers a range of specialized heavy equipment including log loaders, feller bunchers, excavators, dozers, road graders, mulcher/masticators, and skidders, along with trained personnel to operate these machines in complex environmental and emergency scenarios.

Through its federal contract awards, Elk Ridge Ranch LLC has consistently provided heavy equipment and operator services to the U.S. Forest Service across Regions 1 (Northern), 2 (Rocky Mountain), 4 (Intermountain), 8, and 9. The contract awards, ranging from $23,070 to $181,000, have been primarily firm fixed-price delivery orders and purchase orders supporting forestry management, fire suppression, and land management activities. These contracts have been predominantly awarded by the Forest Service's various regional offices, with work locations including Idaho, Montana, and other western states. None of the individual contract awards have included specific set-aside designations, though the company has been recognized as a small business contractor.

Elk Ridge Ranch LLC holds multiple Indefinite Delivery Contracts (IDCs) with the National Interagency Fire Center and U.S. Forest Service, each valued up to $250,000 and set aside for total small business participation. These IDCs cover various geographic zones including Regions 1, 2, 4, and 8, and support procurement of heavy equipment task forces and miscellaneous equipment types. The IDCs, with performance periods extending to 2030, enable the Forest Service to issue task orders for specific equipment and services during wildland fire suppression, land management, and emergency response operations. The contracts allow for flexible deployment of specialized heavy equipment like feller bunchers, mulcher/masticators, road graders, skidders, dozers, and excavators, along with trained operators who can support critical mission requirements across multiple states.
