About the company
Harlow's School Bus Service, Inc Of Montana, a for-profit subsidiary of Landmark Student Transportation Inc., operates as a small business prime contractor supplying crew carrier buses and drivers to the Department of Agriculture Forest Service for wildland fire suppression and all-hazard incident response across western Forest Service regions. The vendor competes predominantly under Total Small Business set-asides on Indefinite Delivery Contracts and Blanket Purchase Agreements, with all 103 recent awards held as prime (100% of the footprint). Harlow's is headquartered in Libby, Montana, and performs work across multiple western states including Idaho, Montana, Colorado, and Oregon.
Customer concentration is extreme. The Department of Agriculture Forest Service Fire and Aviation Management division operating through the National Interagency Fire Center anchors 34 awards worth $2.9 million combined potential value — representing approximately 73% of total potential value across the portfolio — with an additional 30 awards to the Forest Service's Northern Region totaling $354 thousand. These two customers alone account for 80% of recent awards by count. The remaining Forest Service regional offices and the Department of the Interior Bureau of Land Management Montana-Dakotas and Wyoming Region make up the balance. The vendor's footprint is monolithic: Forest Service fire and aviation support accounts for 92 of 103 awards under PSC fire suppression/presuppression work.
Harlow's holds two parent contract vehicles. A multiple-award Indefinite Delivery Contract for crew carrier buses (National Interagency Fire Center, $500,000 ceiling, Total Small Business set-aside, running through May 31, 2028) was awarded February 6, 2026. An earlier multiple-award IDC (May 31, 2023, $250,000 ceiling, also through May 31, 2028) issued under the Forest Service's VIPR I-BPA for Region 13 crew carrier bus services has generated the bulk of historical delivery orders. Recent representative awards include a $36,370 delivery order (July 17, 2026, Dalton Gardens, ID, Region 1), a $20,481.75 delivery order (July 12, 2026, Pueblo, CO, Region 2), a $29,872.85 delivery order (August 13, 2024, McCall, ID, Region 4), and a $31,286.25 delivery order (August 16, 2023, Region 1). Delivery order activity against both vehicles shows consistent small-dollar, high-frequency ordering — individual orders typically range from under $1,000 to $36,000 — indicating tactical incident-based deployment rather than standing annual commitments.
Activity trajectory shows growth year over year from 2021 through 2023 (one award in 2021 to fourteen in 2023), followed by moderation in 2024 (twelve awards) and 2026 (ten awards through August). Combined potential value stands at $4 million with $3.3 million obligated (82% drawdown rate), reflecting invoiced delivery order completion against IDC ceilings. The vendor carries no subcontract footprint; all work is performed as prime. Work is categorized under Support Activities for Forestry (89 awards) and secondarily under Truck, Utility Trailer, and RV Rental and Leasing (9 awards), with operational deployment concentrated at incident sites across Montana, Idaho, Colorado, and Oregon during fire season (June through September peak).
