John W Hertzig, doing business as Hertzig's Mini Storage, is a service-disabled veteran-owned small business operating as a sole proprietorship based in Mokelumne Hill, California. The company specializes in providing heavy equipment services to federal agencies, particularly the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Forest Service. Hertzig's Mini Storage is registered in SAM.gov and maintains active capability to deliver equipment and related services supporting land and resource management activities across multiple regions.

Through its prime federal contract awards, Hertzig's Mini Storage has demonstrated a focused expertise in heavy equipment provision and management services for the Forest Service's Pacific Southwest Region (Region 5). The company has received six delivery order awards totaling approximately $336,179.88 since June 2023, all funded by the National Interagency Fire Center on behalf of the Forest Service. These delivery orders, issued without set-aside designations, have ranged in value from $4,300 to $135,078.13 and have been performed across multiple California locations including Sonora, Solvang, and Clovis. The services provided under these awards include unspecified equipment operations classified as E-52, E-61, E-62, E-380, and E-382 services, which collectively support the Forest Service's fire suppression, hazard response, and land management operations. The company's equipment inventory includes dozers and excavators capable of supporting extended operational shifts and intensive field operations.

Hertzig's Mini Storage currently holds two indefinite delivery contracts with the Forest Service, both structured as firm fixed-price, multiple award vehicles under total small business set-asides. The first and larger IDV, awarded on June 10, 2023, carries a ceiling value of $250,000 and extends through June 10, 2028, serving as part of the VIPR I-BPA heavy equipment contracting program for Regions 5 and 6. Under this contract vehicle, the company has been awarded four delivery orders totaling approximately $327,879.88. The second IDV, originally awarded on June 25, 2021, had a ceiling value of $250,000 with an ultimate completion date of June 15, 2023, and was designated for Region 5 specifically under the same VIPR I-BPA program. This earlier contract vehicle generated task orders totaling $8,300 for E-61 and E-62 services. Both indefinite delivery contracts were established to procure heavy equipment and personnel for 16-hour daily shift operations, with rates inclusive of equipment, personnel, training, transportation, lodging, and management support.
