Brad Ingram

Brad Ingram Construction, an SBA-certified HUBZone sole proprietorship based in Redwood Valley, California, delivers heavy equipment rental, water handling services, and construction support for wildland fire suppression and all-hazard incident response to the Department of Agriculture Forest Service as a prime contractor across multiple Incident Blanket Purchase Agreement (I-BPA) vehicles. The vendor competes exclusively full-and-open and under total small business set-asides; HUBZone certification recurs across the entire prime footprint.

Brad Ingram Construction operates exclusively as a prime on Forest Service I-BPA platforms. The company holds seven active IDIQ vehicles awarded by the National Interagency Fire Center between 2022 and 2026, each with $250,000 to $500,000 ceilings and performance periods extending through 2028–2030. Equipment and service offerings include feller bunchers, mulchers, masticators, road graders, excavators, dozers, and skidders for land management work, paired with specialized water-handling vehicles—Type 3 and 6 fire engines and Type 1, 2, and 3 water tenders—for wildland fire operations. Recent representative work includes a $159,000 August 2026 delivery order from Forest Service Region 6 (Pacific Northwest Region) for equipment rental at Sandy, Oregon; a $211,472 August 2025 delivery order from Region 5 (Pacific Southwest Region) with performance in Eureka, California; and a $149,598 August 2024 delivery order, also under Region 5, for heavy equipment and water handling services.

Customer concentration is nearly complete within the Forest Service ecosystem. The Department of Agriculture Forest Service Fire and Aviation Management National Interagency Fire Center accounts for 9 awards and $2.9 million in combined potential value (47% of total), while Forest Service Region 5 (Pacific Southwest Region) drives 38 awards and $2.2 million (35% of total). Together, these two lines cover 95% of all awards. The vendor's largest IDIQ vehicle is Indefinite Delivery Contract 129J6121T7096 (9 task orders, $474 thousand combined value), followed by IDC 12569R23T7503 (5 task orders, $515 thousand), and Blanket Purchase Agreement AG9J61B147346 (5 task orders, $389 thousand). All parent vehicles are Forest Service incident and equipment platforms reserved for small business award.

Activity has been episodic rather than steadily growing. The vendor recorded 10 awards in 2022, 1 in 2023 (a significant drop), then 8 in 2024, 8 in 2025, and 5 through August 2026. Recent awards cluster in Pacific Southwest Region delivery orders with short performance windows (typically 15–45 days). Combined potential value across the 63 prime awards totals $6.2 million, with $3 million obligated (48% realization). The vendor has no subcontract footprint and does not position on government-wide vehicles or civilian IT platforms; its presence is entirely within Forest Service fire and forestry operations, primarily in the western United States (California, Oregon, New Mexico, and regional fire dispatch centers). First recorded federal award dates to August 2006, establishing twenty years of Forest Service relationship continuity, though recent award velocity suggests seasonal or incident-driven ordering patterns rather than baseline recurring volume.
