Heavy Iron Firefighting LLC

Heavy Iron Firefighting LLC, a service-disabled veteran-owned small business based in Terrebonne, Oregon, provides heavy equipment rental and wildland firefighting services to federal agencies as a prime contractor exclusively, competing under total small business set-asides on its core Indefinite Delivery Contracts and in full-and-open competition on task order execution.

Heavy Iron Firefighting LLC specializes in providing Type 2 and Type 3 dozers, excavators, and related heavy equipment for wildland fire suppression, emergency incident response, and seasonal snow removal operations across the western United States. The company operates primarily through the Virtual Incident Procurement (VIPR) program administered by the National Interagency Fire Center and direct task orders issued by the USDA Forest Service Pacific Northwest Region (Region 6). Representative work includes a $52,000 delivery order from Forest Service Region 6 for heavy firefighting equipment to support wildland fire suppression in the Pacific Northwest (August 2023), a $43,500 firm fixed-price delivery order for snow removal and firefighting services in Redmond, Oregon (June 2026), and a $42,500 delivery order for a Type 3 dozer to support wildland fire management efforts in Bend, Oregon (August 2022). The company holds no subcontracting footprint; all awards are prime contracts or task orders executed directly by Heavy Iron Firefighting LLC.

Customer concentration is extreme and geographically defined. The Department of Agriculture Forest Service Region 6 (Pacific Northwest) represents 32 awards and $938 thousand in combined potential value, while the National Interagency Fire Center accounts for 7 awards and $850 thousand, covering the full 100% of the vendor's award portfolio. The Department of the Interior Bureau of Land Management Oregon-Washington and the broader Forest Service account for the remaining awards. Heavy Iron Firefighting LLC operates two primary vehicle positions: a $250,000 multiple-award IDC under VIPR awarded by the National Interagency Fire Center on February 6, 2026, running through June 10, 2028 and designated total small business set-aside, and a second $250,000 multiple-award VIPR contract awarded by the National Interagency Fire Center on June 10, 2023, also running through June 10, 2028. The company also holds a $100,000 single-award IDC with Forest Service Region 6 for snow removal services at Walton Lake Sno-Park (awarded February 8, 2024, expiring November 30, 2026), against which three seasonal delivery orders have been issued. Task orders against these vehicles range from $2,822 to $52,000 in firm fixed-price structure.

Activity has grown modestly year over year, from four awards in 2022 to eight in 2024, with two awards recorded in the first half of 2026. Combined potential value across the full portfolio is $1.8 million, with $845 thousand obligated to date (46% utilization). The vendor's footprint is concentrated in two NAICS categories: Support Activities for Forestry (35 awards) and Other Services to Buildings and Dwellings (4 awards, aligned with snow removal work), with corresponding PSC concentration in Natural Resources/Conservation fire suppression and forest-range operations (34 awards). No recompete cliff is present in the source material; the two primary VIPR vehicle ceilings extend through June 2028, and the Walton Lake Sno-Park IDC runs through November 2026 with option-year renewal potential under seasonal task order placement.
