Heather M Hart & Randy K Laskowsky Partnership

Heather M Hart & Randy K Laskowsky Partnership, doing business as R&H Trucking, is a woman-owned small business partnership based in Redding, California, that provides trucking and heavy equipment services to the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service as a prime contractor exclusively under total small business set-aside vehicles. The partnership operates across 48 recent federal awards (100% prime work, no sub activity) concentrated in wildfire suppression, emergency response, and natural resource management across the western United States, with combined potential value of $4.7 million and $1.7 million obligated to date.

R&H Trucking's capability portfolio centers on rapid-deployment equipment and logistics for incident response. The vendor supplies Type 3 and 6 Engines, Support Water Tenders (Types 1, 2, and 3), and heavy equipment including feller bunchers, mulchers, road graders, and skidders. Representative recent delivery orders include a $56,343 firm fixed-price order issued September 1, 2026, by the Forest Service Pacific Southwest Region (Region 5) for trucking support, a $95,066.26 delivery order from Region 6 (Pacific Northwest Region) on July 30, 2026, for equipment and personnel support under the Virtual Incident Procurement system, and a $106,856.32 Region 5 order from July 7, 2025, for heavy equipment deployment. All delivery orders are priced firm fixed-price and generally complete within two to three weeks of award, reflecting the emergency-response posture of the work.

Customer concentration is extremely narrow. The Department of Agriculture Forest Service dominates 100% of awards across four subdivisions: the Pacific Southwest Region (Region 5) accounts for 35 awards ($1.6 million combined potential value), the National Interagency Fire Center (which oversees multi-region procurement) accounts for 9 awards ($3 million combined potential value), the Pacific Northwest Region (Region 6) holds 2 awards ($127 thousand), and a regional field office holds 2 awards ($32 thousand). The dollar ranking inverts the volume ranking—the National Interagency Fire Center IDIQs carry higher individual ceilings ($250,000 to $500,000 each) despite fewer task orders, while Region 5 delivery orders are typically $10,000 to $110,000 per order but issued with high frequency.

R&H Trucking holds nine Indefinite Delivery Contracts, all under the National Interagency Fire Center's Virtual Incident Procurement system and designated as total small business set-asides. Five vehicles represent the current heavy-hitter parent vehicles: IDC 12569R24T7092 for water handling, Region 5, with 11 task orders ($702 thousand combined value); IDC 129J6124T7159 for miscellaneous heavy equipment, Region 5, with 9 task orders ($408 thousand); IDC 129J6125T7173 for heavy equipment, West Zone Regions 5 and 6, with 8 task orders ($175 thousand); IDC 1202SB22T7903 for potable and gray water equipment, Region 5, with 5 task orders ($121 thousand); and IDC 12569R23T7647 for water handling, West Zone Regions 3, 5, 6, and 10 combined, with 2 task orders ($161 thousand). IDC ceiling values range from $250,000 to $500,000; the oldest active vehicle dates to June 2022, and the most recently awarded IDCs run through May 2031 or June 2031. Activity has grown sharply—one award in 2022, four in 2023, eleven in 2024, and twenty-one in 2025, with eleven awards already through September 2026. The category concentration is absolute: all 48 awards code to NAICS 561730 (Support Activities for Forestry) and PSC Natural Resources/Conservation-Forest-Range Fire Suppression/Presuppression.

R&H Trucking competes exclusively under total small business set-asides across its entire prime footprint, with no full-and-open or other set-aside category work in the source data. The vendor holds no parent vehicles other than the National Interagency Fire Center IDIQs and engages in no subcontract activity. Place of performance spans northern California (Redding, Eureka, Oroville, Solvang) and the Pacific Northwest (Wenatchee, Sandy, Oregon), reflecting regional equipment positioning for rapid incident dispatch.
