Fowler Brothers, Inc.

Fowler Brothers, Inc., a self-certified small disadvantaged business based in Silver City, New Mexico, provides heavy equipment rentals, transportation services, and wildland fire suppression support to the U.S. Forest Service as a prime contractor exclusively — the vendor operates 100% as a prime across its federal footprint, with no subcontract exposure.

Fowler Brothers operates almost entirely under Total Small Business set-asides, the dominant category across its active contract vehicles. The company holds five active Indefinite Delivery Contracts with the Forest Service's National Interagency Fire Center, each valued at $250,000 and designated for small business procurement, covering Regions 3 and 8 East Zone, Regions 3 and 8, Regions 1–2–4–9, and Region 2. Equipment categories specified in these vehicles include feller bunchers, mulcher/masticators, road graders, skidders, dozers, excavators, and tractor plows, with rates calculated on 16-hour daily shift operations and personnel support. Fowler Brothers also holds an older IDV expiring February 24, 2025, covering Regions 1–2–4–9 through the Virtual Incident Procurement (VIPR) system. Representative recent delivery orders include a $39,568 Total Small Business order from Forest Service Region 3 on June 17, 2026, for heavy equipment rental and fire suppression support in Silver City, New Mexico (completion June 26, 2026); a $90,194 non-set-aside delivery order from Region 3 on September 8, 2025, for equipment and hazard incident response (completion September 30, 2025); a $58,056 Total Small Business definitive contract from Region 3 on August 26, 2024, for paving services at Gomez Peak (completion December 28, 2024); and a $58,439 delivery order from Forest Service Region 2 (Rocky Mountain Region) on September 17, 2023, for unspecified products and services in Durango, Colorado (completion September 29, 2023).

Customer concentration is extreme and narrow. The top two funding entities account for 92% of awards by count and 98% by potential value: the Forest Service's Region 3 (Southwestern Region) drives 24 awards and $890 thousand combined potential value, while the National Interagency Fire Center drives 5 awards and $1.3 million combined potential value. The Occupational Safety and Health Review Commission holds 2 awards with no stated value. Combined potential value across all 37 prime awards totals $2.2 million, with $1.2 million (53%) obligated as of the source date. Activity has grown from one award in 2020 to seven in 2025, with four awards in 2026 year-to-date. No recompete cliff is apparent in the source — the five IDV vehicles show performance periods extending through April 2030, providing stable pipeline for ongoing delivery-order placements. NAICS concentration reflects forestry and equipment support: Support Activities for Forestry (16 awards), Asphalt Paving Mixture and Block Manufacturing (4 awards), Site Preparation Contractors (3 awards), and Construction Sand and Gravel Mining (2 awards). Top PSC codes are Natural Resources/Conservation–Forest-Range Fire Suppression/Presuppression (18 awards) and Miscellaneous Construction Equipment (5 awards). Fowler Brothers has maintained continuous SAM registration since 2004, anchoring a decades-long vendor relationship with the Forest Service concentrated in wildland fire suppression and heavy equipment provisioning across the Southwestern and Rocky Mountain regions.

We are site preparation and grading contractors. We do mining and crushing of aggregate.
