Huston Contracting LLC

Huston Contracting LLC is a self-certified small disadvantaged business and limited liability company registered in the System for Award Management (SAM.gov) since February 2, 2013. Based in Richland, Oregon, the firm specializes in providing heavy equipment and related services primarily to federal agencies, with a focused emphasis on wildland firefighting and hazardous incident response operations. The company operates as a partnership or limited liability partnership and has established itself as a critical support contractor for federal land management and emergency response agencies.

The federal contract awards demonstrate that Huston Contracting LLC predominantly provides dozer equipment, heavy machinery, and operational support services to the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Forest Service, specifically supporting wildland firefighting and hazardous incident management across the Pacific Northwest region. The contract awards, ranging from $1,421 to $91,545, consistently involve delivery orders for equipment rental and operational support in Oregon, Washington, and occasionally New Mexico. These contracts have been primarily issued through the Forest Service's Region 6 Pacific Northwest and the National Interagency Fire Center, with no specific set-aside designations used. The contracts uniformly involve firm fixed-price delivery orders for providing heavy equipment like dozers and excavators, along with skilled operators to support federal fire prevention, suppression, and emergency response activities.

Huston Contracting LLC holds two key indefinite delivery contracts (IDCs) with the USDA Forest Service, each valued at $250,000 with performance periods of 5-8 years. These multiple award IDCs are specifically designed for the West Zone Regions 5 and 6, facilitating rapid deployment of heavy equipment and personnel for wildland firefighting operations. The first IDC, awarded on June 10, 2023, and expiring on June 10, 2028, covers the Pacific Northwest region and allows for firm fixed-price delivery orders. The second IDC, originally awarded on June 13, 2020, and expiring on June 15, 2023, was established to secure rapidly deployable resources within 450 miles of regional dispatch centers. Both IDCs are set aside for total small business participation and have been used to issue numerous task orders for equipment rental, dozer services, and operational support across various fire management and hazardous incident response programs.
