Hip Chicks Hauling And Transportation, LLC

Hip Chicks Hauling And Transportation, LLC, a small business based in Kalispell, Montana, supplies vehicle-with-driver services, heavy equipment rental, and water handling to federal wildfire-response and forestry operations as a prime contractor under Total Small Business set-asides. The company operates exclusively in the set-aside category across a nascent federal footprint — all six recent awards carry the Total Small Business designation.

Hip Chicks Hauling is a partnership or limited liability partnership structured as a for-profit organization. The vendor holds five multiple-award Indefinite Delivery Contracts with the National Interagency Fire Center, each carrying a $250,000 ceiling and firm fixed-price terms, awarded between July 21 and August 9, 2026. The contracts cover vehicle-with-driver services for VIPR I-BPA (Vehicles with driver servicing Regions 1 and 4 only through July 22, 2031); miscellaneous heavy equipment for the East Zone covering Regions 1, 2, and 4 (through August 9, 2029); heavy equipment for the East Zone covering Regions 1, 2, 4, and 9 (through June 1, 2028); and water handling for the East Zone covering Regions 1, 2, 4, and 9 (through July 31, 2030). A single Forest Service delivery order, awarded August 4, 2026, for $16,153 reflects the first task order activity, issued under the vehicle-with-driver VIPR I-BPA contract with place of performance in Kalispell, Montana, concluding August 16, 2026.

Customer concentration is narrow and recent. All six awards derive from the Department of Agriculture — five managed by the National Interagency Fire Center and one by the Forest Service directly. Combined potential value across all awards totals $1.3 million, with only $16 thousand obligated as of the source date, indicating the Indefinite Delivery Contracts are newly awarded vehicles not yet significantly drawn.

The vendor carries no subcontract footprint and does not appear on any parent contract vehicles beyond the newly won IDIQs. Activity is confined to wildfire and forestry support work, split evenly between support activities for forestry and ground passenger transportation (three awards each in recent NAICS and PSC classification). The footprint reflects a vendor in early stage of federal engagement, with all awards from the same customer cluster and all five IDIQs serving regional fire-response operations in the Northern Region corridor (Regions 1, 2, 4, and 9).
