Gorge Machinery LLC

Gorge Machinery LLC, a self-certified small disadvantaged business based in Carson, Washington, operates exclusively as a prime contractor supplying heavy equipment, machinery repair, and related services to federal land management and wildfire suppression operations, competing predominantly under total small business set-asides on regional indefinite-delivery and blanket-purchase vehicles. The company is structured as a limited liability partnership and specializes in delivering excavators, skidders, mulchers, masticators, mechanics trucks, welding, trucking, and excavation support to the U.S. Forest Service and interagency fire management partners across the western United States.

Gorge Machinery's customer base is highly concentrated in the Department of Agriculture's land and fire management mission. The Forest Service's Pacific Northwest Region (Region 6) accounts for 66 awards valued at $52.8 million, or 92% of the company's combined potential value across all 86 prime awards. The National Interagency Fire Center represents the next tier with 16 awards worth $4 million, while the Department of the Interior's Bureau of Land Management Idaho Region and other USFS field offices round out the minimal remaining exposure. This concentration is consistent across both award count and dollar rankings — the same customer anchors both metrics.

Gorge Machinery holds a portfolio of nine parent vehicles issued by the National Interagency Fire Center and the USFS Region 6, all structured as multiple-award indefinite-delivery contracts or blanket purchase agreements under total small business set-asides. The flagship vehicle is a $49 million blanket purchase agreement for road maintenance services across Region 6 running through June 30, 2033, awarded July 11, 2023. Five smaller IDIQs, each capped at $250,000 to $500,000, support heavy equipment, water-capable equipment, and miscellaneous equipment procurement for wildfire suppression and prescribed project work across Regions 3, 5, and 6 through the Virtual Incident Procurement system. The company's 23 task orders under IDC 1204H124T7098 represent the highest utilization of any single vehicle, generating $1.4 million in combined potential value. Representative task orders include a $135,000 delivery order from USFS Region 6 for heavy equipment support in Wenatchee, Washington (September 2025, no set-aside), a $121.5 thousand order for similar services (September 2025, no set-aside), and a $63,000 delivery order for miscellaneous heavy equipment in Vancouver, Washington under a total small business set-aside (August 2026).

Activity has grown from five awards in 2022 to a recent peak of 16 in 2024, with 12 awards in 2026 year-to-date and 10 in 2025, indicating sustained but moderating demand. The source data shows 86 total awards with a combined potential value of $57 million, though only $3.7 million has been obligated to date — reflecting the predominance of small delivery orders and task orders under larger vehicles rather than large single contracts. No imminent recompete cliff is evident from the completion dates listed; the $49 million road maintenance BPA extends through 2033, and the regional fire equipment IDIQs run through 2028–2030. The company has never subcontracted as a vendor to other primes and does not carry sub-award activity in the source data.

Gorge Machinery's geographic footprint spans the Pacific Northwest and Interior West, with performance locations including Sandy, Baker City, and Pendleton, Oregon; Vancouver, Wenatchee, Tumwater, and Carson, Washington; and Boise, Idaho. PSC coding shows 83 of 86 awards fall under Natural Resources/Conservation—Forest-Range Fire Suppression/Presuppression; the remainder split across automotive repair and equipment rental. NAICS concentration is equally narrow, with 72 awards coded to Support Activities for Forestry and 13 to General Automotive Repair, underscoring specialization in wildland fire equipment and maintenance operations.
