Getty Excavating Inc.

Getty Excavating Inc. is a small business subchapter S corporation located in Challis, Idaho, primarily engaged in providing excavation, earthwork, and equipment services to federal agencies, with a specific focus on land management and infrastructure support. Registered in SAM.gov since October 2005, the company specializes in heavy equipment operations, transportation services, and infrastructure development primarily for federal land management agencies. Based in a rural region of Idaho, Getty Excavating has established itself as a specialized contractor capable of performing complex earthwork and equipment-related services across multiple western United States forest service regions.

The company has consistently provided excavation and equipment services to the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service, specifically within the Intermountain Region (Region 4). Its federal contract awards have included specific project-based work such as fixed-wing tie-downs construction at Salmon Air Base, earth anchor installations, concrete work, and asphalt saw cutting. These contracts have ranged in value from $1,700 to $31,500 and have been predominantly awarded as firm fixed-price purchase orders and delivery orders. While most contracts were not set aside, one contract for Salmon Air Base work was designated as a total small business set-aside. Getty Excavating has consistently served as a prime contractor, demonstrating its capability to directly execute federal government infrastructure and maintenance projects.

Getty Excavating holds two significant Indefinite Delivery Contracts (IDVs) with the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service, both set aside for total small business participation. The first IDV, awarded in June 2023, has a $250,000 ceiling and focuses on providing heavy equipment like dozers, excavators, and tractor plows for fire suppression and incident response across Forest Service Regions 1, 2, 4, and 9. The second IDV, originally awarded in June 2020 and extended through June 2023, similarly supports heavy equipment needs specifically for the Intermountain Region. Both contracts were issued through the Virtual Incident Procurement (VIPR) system, indicating the company's specialized capability in supporting emergency and maintenance operations for federal land management agencies. These IDVs demonstrate Getty Excavating's strategic positioning to provide critical equipment and services during wildland fire management and other federal land management scenarios.
