Empire Southwest, LLC

Empire Southwest, LLC, a Nevada-based partnership, provides heavy-equipment repair and maintenance services to Department of the Interior agencies as a prime contractor, competing in full-and-open procurements with no set-aside designation across all three recent awards.

Empire Southwest's customer base consists entirely of Interior Department field operations. The Bureau of Reclamation accounts for $220 thousand of the combined potential value across three awards; the Bureau of Land Management's Idaho Region and the National Park Service's Pacific West Region each anchor one award in the $18–$20 thousand range. All work is performed at the contractor's own facility in Henderson, Nevada, or at customer locations in Nevada and California.

The vendor's capability portfolio centers on equipment repair and maintenance under NAICS 811310 (Commercial and Industrial Machinery and Equipment Repair and Maintenance). Representative work includes a $220 thousand time-and-materials purchase order from the Bureau of Reclamation's Lahontan Basin Area Office, awarded February 11, 2022, with completion scheduled for February 10, 2027, for generator preventative maintenance, repairs, and emergency response across multiple dam and facility locations; a $20.4 thousand sole-source repair order from the Bureau of Land Management at the National Interagency Fire Center, awarded November 19, 2025, for heavy equipment track assembly and bogie suspension replacement; and a $18.5 thousand purchase order from the National Park Service's Pacific West Region, awarded July 8, 2026, for comprehensive hydraulic and structural repairs to a Caterpillar 440F2 backhoe, requiring CAT certification.

Activity is minimal and episodic — one award in 2022, one in 2025, one in 2026 — with combined potential value of $259 thousand across three awards. Two awards (combined potential value $239 thousand) reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, exposing the vendor to recompete on roughly 92% of its current pipeline. Empire Southwest holds no parent vehicle positions, makes no subcontractor appearances in the federal footprint, and operates exclusively as a prime on discrete purchase orders. The vendor has obligated $199 thousand (77% of combined potential value) against the three awards.
