Gumpert Contracting, Inc.

Gumpert Contracting, Inc., a for-profit Subchapter S corporation based in Prineville, Oregon, provides heavy equipment rental and associated personnel services to the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service as a prime contractor, operating 100% under small-business set-asides and competing exclusively within that posture. The company specializes in wildland fire suppression, forestry management, and incident response support across Forest Service Regions 3, 5, and 6 in the western United States, with primary operational footprint in the Pacific Northwest.

Gumpert's customer base is entirely concentrated within the Forest Service. The Department of Agriculture Forest Service's Region 6 Pacific Northwest Region accounts for 14 awards ($1.4 million combined potential value), while the Forest Service Fire and Aviation Management National Interagency Fire Center holds 3 awards ($1 million combined potential value), and the Forest Service proper carries 2 awards ($73 thousand combined potential value) — altogether representing 100% of the vendor's award activity. Recent representative work includes a $31,800 delivery order awarded August 2, 2026 (completion August 7, 2026) for heavy equipment rental in support of wildland fire suppression operations, place of performance Fossil, Oregon; a $164,300 delivery order to Region 6 (completion August 27, 2024) for equipment rental supporting fire suppression and incident response; and a $65,578 delivery order to Region 6 (completion October 20, 2024) for heavy equipment rental services.

Gumpert holds two primary indefinite delivery contracts with the Forest Service. A February 6, 2026 multiple-award IDC through the National Interagency Fire Center carries a $500,000 ceiling, is set-aside for total small business, and runs through May 28, 2029, covering miscellaneous heavy equipment for Region 6 only. A May 28, 2024 IDC also through the National Interagency Fire Center carries a $250,000 ceiling, is set-aside for total small business with consideration for SDVOSBs and HUBZone firms, and covers miscellaneous heavy equipment rental for Region 6; two delivery orders ($65,578 and $164,300) have been drawn against this vehicle. Gumpert also places task orders under blanket purchase agreements including BPA AG04H1B157019 (5 task orders, $442 thousand combined potential value) and BPA 1204H118T7072 (3 task orders, $107 thousand combined potential value).

Activity has been episodic over the past five years — one award each in 2021, 2022, and 2023, rising to four in 2024, then two in 2026 — with combined potential value across all 19 prime awards totaling $2.4 million. The vendor operates exclusively as a prime; no subcontract activity appears in the source. All work falls under NAICS 541900 (Support Activities for Forestry) and PSC Natural Resources/Conservation-Forest-Range Fire Suppression/Presuppression, and 100% of awards carry small-business set-asides. Gumpert's capability footprint centers on equipment provisioning and crew deployment for emergency wildfire response and planned forestry operations, with no diversification into other federal customer agencies or mission areas.
