Hitz Contracting LLC

Hitz Contracting LLC, a for-profit limited liability company based in Pilot Rock, Oregon, manufactures and deploys trailer-mounted potable water, gray water truck, and handwashing station equipment to federal wildland fire and emergency incident response operations as a prime contractor under small-business set-asides and full-and-open procurements. The vendor operates exclusively within the Forest Service Region 6 Pacific Northwest Region and the National Interagency Fire Center framework, competing predominantly under the Virtual Incident Procurement (VIPR) system.

The vendor's customer footprint concentrates within the Department of Agriculture's Forest Service and Fire and Aviation Management divisions, which account for the full combined potential value across recent awards. The National Interagency Fire Center anchors the dollars — two awards carrying $750 thousand combined potential value — while Forest Service Region 6 and the Bureau of Land Management Idaho Region split the remaining activity. Of the eight total awards in source data, three are small-business-set-aside delivery orders issued by Forest Service Region 6 between July and August 2026, valued at $46 thousand combined potential value; two are full-and-open purchase orders from BLM Idaho Region (June 2025, $47 thousand combined); and three others derive from VIPR IDC vehicles.

Hitz Contracting holds two indefinite delivery contracts: a $500 thousand small-business-set-aside multiple-award IDC awarded by the National Interagency Fire Center on February 6, 2026, running through May 28, 2029, and a $250 thousand small-business-set-aside multiple-award IDC awarded by the U.S. Forest Service on May 28, 2024, also expiring May 28, 2029. Both vehicles procure trailer-mounted water and sanitation equipment for Region 6 wildland fire and emergency incident response, issued as firm fixed-price task orders on an as-needed basis. Representative task orders include a $17 thousand delivery order for potable and gray water equipment issued August 31, 2026, a $21,850 delivery order issued August 24, 2026, and a $7.6 thousand delivery order issued July 19, 2026 — all small-business set-asides supporting Forest Service incident response in Oregon.

Activity has grown to four awards in 2026 from two each in 2024 and 2025. The vendor operates only as a prime contractor (100% of awards) with no subcontract footprint. Work falls under NAICS 541710 (Support Activities for Forestry), with six of eight awards classified under the Natural Resources/Conservation — Forest-Range Fire Suppression/Presuppression PSC code and two under Fire Fighting Equipment. Only $105 thousand of the $855 thousand combined potential value has been obligated, indicating task-order velocity remains low relative to vehicle capacity.
