Stan Harlan

Stan Harlan, doing business as Stan Harlan Trucking, a sole proprietorship based in Bend, Oregon, provides transportation, water tender vehicles, and certified personnel services to the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service and the Department of the Interior in support of wildland fire suppression and land management operations across the western United States. Stan Harlan Trucking operates exclusively as a prime contractor (100% of awards) on small-business federal contracts and competes predominantly under total small business set-asides and full-and-open competitions; the vendor holds no subcontractor positions in the source data.

The vendor's customer base is concentrated in wildland fire support. Three agencies account for 93% of awards by count and 99% of combined potential value: the Department of Agriculture Forest Service's Pacific Northwest Region (22 awards, $674 thousand combined potential value), the Department of Agriculture Forest Service's Fire and Aviation Management National Interagency Fire Center (4 awards, $755 thousand combined potential value), and the Department of the Interior's Bureau of Land Management Idaho Region (1 award, $21 thousand). The two Forest Service offices rank differently by volume versus value — the Pacific Northwest Region leads in award count, while the National Interagency Fire Center anchors the highest-value awards through Indefinite Delivery Contracts — indicating that NIFC awards carry larger potential ceilings despite lower frequency.

Stan Harlan Trucking holds three primary parent vehicles. Two multiple-award Incident Blanket Purchase Agreements (I-BPAs) for water handling were established through the National Interagency Fire Center on a total small business set-aside basis: one valued at $250 thousand, awarded May 30, 2025, running through May 30, 2030, and another valued at $250 thousand, awarded February 6, 2026, also running through May 30, 2030. A third multiple-award I-BPA for water handling covering Regions 3, 5, 6, and 10 was awarded June 6, 2022, valued at $250 thousand and expired June 6, 2025. Task orders against these vehicles have ranged from $2,194 to $70,500 and support the delivery of engines, water tenders, support equipment, materials, transportation, and certified personnel deployment for emergency response and prescribed work. Additional task orders are issued against smaller Blanket Purchase Agreements under the same agencies.

Activity has been episodic rather than sustained. The vendor recorded four awards in 2022, dropped to one award each in 2023 and 2024, then returned to four awards in both 2025 and 2026 (as of May 2026). Total potential value across all 29 awards stands at $1.5 million, with $291 thousand obligated to date. All work is classified under NAICS Support Activities for Forestry, with 28 awards carrying PSC Natural Resources/Conservation–Forest-Range Fire Suppression/Presuppression. Recent delivery orders include $70,500 (August 2024), $61,500 (August 2023), and $3,000 each (April, May 2026), all from the Pacific Northwest Region on firm fixed-price delivery orders with one- to three-day completion windows typical of emergency fire response callouts.
