Gil's Machinery LLC

Gil's Machinery LLC, a minority-owned, self-certified small disadvantaged business based in Arlington, Washington, supplies water handling equipment and machinery to the U.S. Forest Service as a prime contractor under total small business set-asides. The company competes exclusively under set-aside vehicles and has placed all six recent prime awards with the Department of Agriculture's Forest Service.

Gil's Machinery LLC operates from a single, narrow capability footprint: water handling equipment procurement and delivery for wildland fire suppression and all-hazard incident response across the Pacific Northwest. All six awards and both active indefinite-delivery contracts fall under NAICS 332312 (Support Activities for Forestry) and PSC Natural Resources/Conservation—Forest-Range Fire Suppression/Presuppression. Recent delivery orders include a $50,713.15 firm fixed-price order completed in August 2026 under the Forest Service Region 6 multiple-award IDC, a $24,000 delivery order completed in October 2025 for machinery-related products, and a $45,000 delivery order completed in August 2025, all supporting regional forestry operations in Wenatchee, Washington.

Gil's Machinery LLC holds two active indefinite-delivery contracts, both with firm fixed-price terms running through May 29, 2030. The National Interagency Fire Center awarded a $500,000 multiple-award IDC on February 6, 2026, covering Engines (Types 3–6), Support Water Tenders (Types 1–3), and Tactical Water Tenders (Types 1–2), with performance directed through regionally based dispatch centers. The Forest Service Region 6 also established a $250,000 multiple-award IDC on May 29, 2025, for the same water handling equipment scope, setting up Incident Blanket Purchase Agreements for preseason incident response and prescribed project work. Four delivery orders totaling $121,000 have been placed against the Region 6 vehicle; two orders valued at $750,000 have been placed against the NIFC vehicle.

Recent award activity shows three orders in 2025 and three in 2026, with only $121,000 obligated against a combined potential ceiling of $871,000 across both contracts. The vendor operates exclusively as a prime contractor with no subcontract work in the source data. Customer concentration is complete: 100% of awards fund Forest Service programs, split between the Fire and Aviation Management National Interagency Fire Center (two awards, $750,000 potential) and Region 6 Pacific Northwest Region operations (four awards, $121,000 potential).
