Hulford Flatworks Inc.

Hulford Flatworks Inc., doing business as Hulford Trucking, is a for-profit Montana-based heavy equipment and transportation services provider specializing in support for federal land management and emergency response operations. The company, registered in SAM.gov since July 2018 with a Montana address in Kalispell, has established itself as a reliable contractor for the U.S. Forest Service across multiple regions. Hulford Flatworks provides critical equipment, transportation, and personnel services to support wildland fire suppression, incident response, timber harvesting operations, and general land management activities across the western United States.

Hulford Flatworks has demonstrated extensive experience delivering specialized heavy equipment and transportation services through seven documented federal contract awards since 2021, all issued by the U.S. Forest Service's Region 1 (Northern Region) and the National Interagency Fire Center. The company's contract portfolio includes logging truck services valued at $10,058.96 (September 2025), a log loader provision worth $105,600 (August 2023), trucking services for $26,325 (October 2022), additional log truck support of $45,000 (September 2022), log loader services for incident response at $23,000 (September 2021), emergency log loader support of $2,300 (September 2021), and log truck services valued at $48,999.98 (September 2021). All awards were issued as purchase orders or delivery orders with no small business set-aside designations applied to the individual task orders, despite the company's small business status. The equipment and services provided have consistently supported timber harvesting operations, incident response activities, and forest management across National Forest lands in Montana and the surrounding regions. The cumulative value of these documented prime contract awards exceeds $261,000, reflecting the Forest Service's confidence in Hulford Flatworks' capabilities and responsiveness.

Hulford Flatworks holds three active Indefinite Delivery Contracts (IDCs) awarded by the U.S. Forest Service through the National Interagency Fire Center, all designated as total small business set-asides under firm fixed-price arrangements. The first IDC, awarded May 14, 2024, carries a ceiling value of $250,000 and extends through May 14, 2029, providing miscellaneous heavy equipment including feller bunchers, mulcher/masticators, road graders, and skidders for fire suppression and prescribed project work across Forest Service Regions 1, 2, and 4 through the Virtual Incident Procurement (VIPR) system. The second IDC, awarded June 1, 2023, also valued at $250,000 with performance through June 1, 2028, covers heavy equipment, transportation, and personnel services supporting wildland fire suppression and incident response across Regions 1, 2, 4, and 9, similarly utilizing the VIPR system for task order issuance.

Collectively, these three IDCs represent $750,000 in potential contract value and demonstrate the Forest Service's reliance on Hulford Flatworks as a qualified provider of essential emergency response equipment and services across multiple geographic regions and incident types.
