The company is certified as a small agricultural cooperative and a self-certified small disadvantaged business, offering critical heavy machinery and skilled labor to federal agencies. H3 Dozer leverages a fleet of specialized equipment including dozers and excavators to support emergency response operations across multiple western United States regions.

The federal contract awards for H3 Dozer demonstrate a focused approach to providing heavy equipment resources primarily to civilian federal agencies, specifically the United States Forest Service. The company has been awarded prime contracts with total small business set-aside designations, with contract values ranging up to $250,000. These contracts involve providing heavy equipment, trained personnel, transportation, and comprehensive support for fire suppression and emergency incident response. The contracts require H3 Dozer to supply qualified equipment operators and machinery that can be rapidly deployed to support wildland firefighting efforts and other critical emergency management scenarios across regions 5 and 6 of the western United States.

H3 Dozer holds two significant Indefinite Delivery Contracts (IDVs) through the Virtual Incident Procurement (VIPR) system, both awarded by the United States Forest Service and National Interagency Fire Center. The first IDV, contract 12569R23T7663, has a ceiling value of $250,000 and extends through June 10, 2028, covering heavy equipment provision for fire suppression across local, regional, and nationwide areas. The second IDV, contract 129J6121T7093, similarly focused on Region 5 - Pacific Southwest, was originally structured for task orders through June 15, 2023. Both IDVs are multiple-award contracts with total small business set-asides, allowing H3 Dozer to provide on-demand equipment and personnel for emergency response operations, with potential optional use by interagency cooperators subject to specific payment and administrative terms.
