GLW Erosion Control, Inc.

GLW Erosion Control, Inc., doing business as GLW Inc., a woman-owned small business based in Prineville, Oregon, supplies heavy equipment—including dozers and excavators—for wildland fire suppression and prescribed burn operations to the U.S. Forest Service as a prime contractor exclusively under total small business set-asides. The vendor operates entirely as a prime on all eight recent awards tracked in the source, with no subcontract work.

GLW's customer concentration is absolute: 100% of recent awards fund Forest Service programs through three distinct funding channels within the Department of Agriculture. The National Interagency Fire Center (Fire and Aviation Management) dominates the footprint with four awards valued at $1.5 million combined potential value; the Pacific Northwest Region 6 and the broader Forest Service account for the remaining four awards valued at $224 thousand combined. Activity has accelerated sharply—one award in 2017, one in 2023, one in 2025, and five in 2026—driven by recent IDIQ awards placed on the Virtual Incident Procurement (VIPR) system.

GLW holds four indefinite delivery contracts as a prime, all through the National Interagency Fire Center and all total small business set-asides with firm-fixed-price structures. Two IDIQs, each with a $500,000 ceiling and performance periods through 2028 and 2030 respectively, cover the Pacific Northwest Region 6 and West Zone Regions 5 and 6; a third IDIQ with a $250,000 ceiling and a 2030 completion date targets Region 6 only; and a fourth IDIQ issued in June 2023 with a $250,000 ceiling and a June 2028 completion date covers West Zone Regions 5 and 6. Delivery orders placed against these vehicles in 2026 included a $42,500 order in September (performance in Fossil, Oregon, completion September 20, 2026) and a $23,400 order in August (performance in Redmond, Oregon, completion August 16, 2026), both for heavy equipment supporting wildland fire suppression. An earlier May 2026 order valued at $7,800 to the Pacific Northwest Region also procured heavy equipment from the same vendor. All eight awards cluster under NAICS Support Activities for Forestry and PSC Natural Resources/Conservation–Forest-Range Fire Suppression/Presuppression. Combined obligated dollars stand at $74 thousand against $1.7 million combined potential value, indicating the IDIQ structure has generated limited task-order volume to date relative to ceiling capacity.
