Hayden Contracting Services, LLC

Hayden Contracting Services, LLC, a self-certified small disadvantaged business based in Hermiston, Oregon, supplies heavy equipment rental, certified personnel deployment, materials, transportation, and management services to the U.S. Forest Service and other federal land management agencies as a 100% prime contractor, competing predominantly under total small business set-asides across Virtual Incident Procurement (VIPR) Indefinite Delivery Contracts for wildland fire suppression and all-hazard incident response.

Hayden's capability footprint centers on pre-positioned regional emergency response resources for wildfire suppression and prescribed fire management. The company furnishes dozers, excavators, water tenders, skidgens, and similar heavy equipment along with certified operators and transportation to federal incident response operations. Recent representative work includes a $321,650 delivery order from the Forest Service Region 6 Pacific Northwest Region (July 2026) for equipment, personnel, and logistics support; a $177,600 order for heavy equipment rental and personnel deployment (August 2026); a $104,472 delivery order for unspecified forestry and land management services in Corvallis, Oregon (August 2023); and a $98,018 delivery order from the Forest Service Region 4 Intermountain Region for fire suppression support (September 2024).

Customer concentration sits almost entirely within the Department of Agriculture Forest Service. The top two funding entities account for 100% of recent awards: the Forest Service Fire and Aviation Management National Interagency Fire Center (21 awards, $5 million combined potential value) and the Forest Service Region 6 Pacific Northwest Region (51 awards, $3.4 million combined potential value). The split reflects Hayden's dual role in the VIPR ecosystem — holding multiple region-specific Indefinite Delivery Contracts awarded by the National Interagency Fire Center for West Zone and region-level equipment task forces, while simultaneously receiving numerous direct delivery orders from Region 6. The Department of the Interior Bureau of Land Management Idaho Region and Forest Service Region 4 account for smaller volumes ($179 thousand and $98 thousand respectively).

Hayden holds ten active Indefinite Delivery Contracts across VIPR, all with total small business set-asides and $250,000 to $500,000 ceilings per award. The largest vehicles by task-order volume are IDCs 1204H124T7111 (20 task orders, $1.1 million combined potential value), 1204H118T7076 (11 task orders, $731 thousand), 12569R23T7645 (8 task orders, $329 thousand), 1204H120T7272 (7 task orders, $386 thousand), and 1202SB21T7808 (6 task orders, $418 thousand). These vehicles cover fire suppression equipment, heavy equipment task forces, miscellaneous heavy equipment, and equipment-with-water configurations across Regions 3, 4, 5, and 6. Recent IDC awards include three $500,000 multiple-award contracts from the National Interagency Fire Center (February 2026) and three $250,000 contracts from Region 6 (May to July 2025). All IDCs carry performance periods extending to 2028–2030, enabling sustained regional resource pre-positioning.

Activity has grown sharply from eight awards in 2022 to 22 in 2026 year-to-date, reflecting expanding federal demand for regional fire-response logistics. Hayden's 79 total awards carry combined potential value of $9 million, with $4 million obligated to date. The vendor competes 100% as a prime, with no subcontract work listed. Work is performed in place-of-performance locations spanning Pendleton, Baker City, Corvallis, and other Oregon and Washington sites, with task orders reflecting rapid regional dispatch for emergency suppression and prescribed burning. The company's NAICS classification is 333923 (heavy construction equipment rental and leasing) across 76 of 79 awards, with the remainder in fire-fighting equipment supply.
