High Desert Construction & Irrigation LLC

High Desert Construction & Irrigation LLC, a veteran-owned, DOT-certified Disadvantaged Business Enterprise structured as a limited liability company and headquartered in Burns, Oregon, provides heavy equipment rental and services for wildland fire suppression, prescribed project work, and all-hazard incident response to the Department of Agriculture's Forest Service as a prime contractor operating exclusively under total small business set-asides. All fourteen awards in the recent portfolio are prime contracts; the vendor does not subcontract or serve as a sub-recipient.

The vendor's capability portfolio centers on equipment provision and logistics for federal land management and emergency response. Representative work includes a $91,200 delivery order from the Forest Service issued August 12, 2026, for heavy equipment and services supporting wildland fire suppression and land management operations in the Pacific Northwest Region, with place of performance at Fossil, Oregon. Earlier in 2024, High Desert Construction & Irrigation LLC received a $107,101.67 firm fixed-price delivery order (awarded August 13, 2024, completing October 14, 2024) from the Forest Service Region 6 Pacific Northwest for similar heavy equipment services. The vendor also holds multiple indefinite-delivery contracts under the National Interagency Fire Center's Virtual Incident Procurement system, including two $500,000 ceiling IDCs awarded February 6, 2026, for water handling equipment (Engines Type 3-6, Support Water Tenders Type 1-3, Tactical Water Tenders Type 1-2) and miscellaneous heavy equipment for Region 6, and two additional $250,000 ceiling IDCs for water handling and heavy equipment serving Regions 5 and 6 through 2028–2030.

All customer concentration sits with the Department of Agriculture. The Forest Service Fire and Aviation Management National Interagency Fire Center anchors the bulk of potential value — six IDV awards totaling $2.3 million combined potential value — while the Forest Service Region 6 Pacific Northwest generates seven delivery orders worth $356 thousand combined potential value across the recent portfolio. Award volume grew from two in 2023 to seven in 2024, then declined to one in 2025 before rebounding to four in 2026 (as of mid-August). The vendor's total recent portfolio carries $2.7 million in combined potential value, with only $447 thousand obligated to date (17% of ceiling values). All fourteen awards fall under Support Activities for Forestry (NAICS primary) with PSC alignment to Natural Resources/Conservation—Forest-Range Fire Suppression/Presuppression. The vendor competes exclusively under total small business set-asides and has no positions on government-wide vehicles, GSA Schedules, or civilian agency IDIQs outside the Forest Service ecosystem.
