Hall, Michael E

Hall, Michael E, a sole proprietorship based in Dunlap, California, provides vehicle rental and driver services to the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service as a small business prime contractor, competing exclusively under total small business set-asides on wildland fire management and incident response operations. The vendor holds three multiple-award indefinite delivery contracts under the Virtual Incident Procurement Blanket Purchase Agreement (VIPR I-BPA) program, with ceilings of $250,000 each and ultimate completion dates ranging from June 2028 to August 2031, and issues firm fixed-price delivery orders for pickup trucks, stake trucks, vans, and SUVs with certified drivers to support wildfire suppression logistics across U.S. Forest Service Regions 5 and 6 (California, Hawaii, and Pacific territories).

Hall's customer base is concentrated entirely within the Department of Agriculture's wildland fire and emergency response operations. The National Interagency Fire Center accounts for five awards with $1 million in combined potential value; the Pacific Southwest Region (R5) accounts for four awards with $62 thousand combined potential value; and Federal Fire and Aviation Management accounts for one award with $150 thousand combined potential value. All ten prime awards are set-aside as total small business, with no sub-award activity. NAICS classification is All Other Transit and Ground Passenger Transportation (all ten awards), and PSC is Natural Resources/Conservation—Forest-Range Fire Suppression/Presuppression (all ten awards).

Activity has been sparse but consistent, with one award in 2021 and 2023, one in 2024, one in 2025, and three in 2026. Combined potential value across all ten awards is $1.2 million, with $76 thousand obligated to date (6% utilization). The vendor has been registered in SAM.gov since December 2016 and holds a position on the VIPR I-BPA, a multiple-award indefinite delivery contract vehicle issued by the National Interagency Fire Center for rapid deployment of certified drivers and vehicles during wildfire seasons across the western United States.
