Hm Ranch

Hm Ranch, doing business as Hm-Ranch, is a for-profit small business partnership based in Pendleton, Oregon, that operates as a prime contractor providing heavy equipment rental services—primarily Type 3 and Type 4 dozers and excavators—to support wildland fire suppression, hazard incident response, and land management operations across federal agencies in the Pacific Northwest and West Zone regions. The vendor competes predominantly under total small business set-asides on indefinite delivery vehicles and blanket purchase agreements, with recent awards split between set-aside and full-and-open delivery orders.

Hm Ranch's customer base is highly concentrated within the Department of Agriculture's Forest Service. The Forest Service accounts for 38 of 44 awards (89% of the portfolio) and $2.2 million of the $2.3 million combined potential value. Within Forest Service, the Pacific Northwest Region (Region 6) dominates with 31 awards worth $1.1 million combined potential value; the Fire and Aviation Management National Interagency Fire Center accounts for 5 awards worth $1.1 million; the broader Forest Service carries 2 awards worth $73 thousand. The Department of the Interior Bureau of Land Management Idaho Region placed 1 award for $45 thousand. The vendor has served four distinct customer agencies in recent history, all within wildland fire and public lands management.

Hm Ranch holds two indefinite delivery contracts with the Forest Service. The first, a total small business set-aside IDIQ awarded by the National Interagency Fire Center on February 6, 2026, with a $500 thousand ceiling and performance through June 10, 2028, covers heavy equipment for West Zone Regions 5 and 6. The second, a $250 thousand total small business set-aside IDC awarded June 10, 2023, also through June 10, 2028, covers heavy equipment for West Zone Regions 5 and 6. Representative delivery orders under these vehicles include a $142.8 thousand order awarded July 13, 2026, a $113.15 thousand order from July 2024, and a $45 thousand purchase order from June 2025. The vendor places task orders across five parent blanket purchase agreements and indefinite delivery contracts, with the largest concentration under IDC 12569R23T7658 (7 task orders, $375 thousand) and IDC 1204H120T7195 (8 task orders, $233 thousand).

Activity has remained modest and relatively flat—four awards in 2022 declining to two in both 2024 and 2025, with three awarded through mid-2026. The vendor operates exclusively on NAICS 541330 (Support Activities for Forestry) and PSC code for natural resources conservation and forest-range fire suppression. All 44 awards are prime contracts; the vendor does not appear in the source material as a subcontractor on other primes. Place of performance spans Pendleton, Oregon; Heppner, Oregon; Boise, Idaho; and regional dispatch centers across the Pacific Northwest and West Zone.
