Intermountain Forest Technology, Corp.

Intermountain Forest Technology, Corp., a women-owned small business based in Clancy, Montana, provides heavy equipment rental, forestry services, and trained personnel to support wildfire suppression, all-hazard incident response, and land management activities across federal lands as a prime contractor (100% of awards). The company is SBA-certified as a women-owned small business and self-certified as a small disadvantaged business, operating as a Subchapter S corporation. Intermountain Forest Technology competes entirely outside set-asides on its delivery orders, though nearly all of its parent indefinite-delivery contracts carry total small business set-aside designations.

The vendor's capability footprint centers on forestry equipment and personnel mobilization. Core offerings include heavy equipment rental—feller bunchers, skidders, dozers, excavators, mulchers, road graders, water-delivery systems such as pumper cats and skidgines, and related specialized machinery—paired with trained, certified operators to support fire suppression and prescribed fire operations. Representative work includes a $103.2 million delivery order from USDA Forest Service Region 2 (Rocky Mountain) on July 7, 2026, for equipment rental and personnel support under the Virtual Incident Procurement (VIPR) system; a $388.1 thousand delivery order from Region 1 (Northern) on August 18, 2023, for forestry services including excavation, fuels reduction, and trail maintenance; and a $102.5 thousand delivery order from Region 4 (Intermountain) on October 5, 2024, for excavation and fuels reduction work. The vendor also supplies equipment directly—a $77.6 thousand feller buncher purchase order and a $75.8 thousand Type 3 dozer purchase order, both from the Idaho Region in June 2025.

Customer concentration sits entirely within the Department of Agriculture Forest Service and subordinate components. The top five customers account for 80% of awards and include the National Interagency Fire Center (Fire and Aviation Management) with 29 awards valued at $6.9 million, Region 1 (Northern Region) with 21 awards at $2.2 million, the Research Service Rocky Mountain Research Station with 14 awards at $1.5 million, Region 4 (Intermountain) with 9 awards at $783 thousand, and Region 2 (Rocky Mountain) with 7 awards at $563 thousand. The National Interagency Fire Center dominates both volume and dollars, reflecting Intermountain Forest Technology's heavy seat on VIPR IDIQs.

Intermountain Forest Technology holds a deep position on the Forest Service's Virtual Incident Procurement system across multiple regions and equipment categories. The vendor anchors 13 active indefinite-delivery contracts under the National Interagency Fire Center, issued between May 2022 and August 2026, with individual ceilings ranging from $250 thousand to $750 thousand and performance periods running through 2030. These contracts cover miscellaneous heavy equipment, heavy equipment with water capabilities, and heavy equipment task forces (HETF) across East Zone regions (Northern, Rocky Mountain, Intermountain, and Southwestern). Top parent vehicles by task-order count include IDC 1284M818T7087 with 23 orders at $2 million combined value, IDC 1202SB24T7283 with 10 orders at $797 thousand, and BPA AG0343B157108 with 10 orders at $832 thousand. Individual delivery orders under these vehicles range from $168 to $388.1 thousand, reflecting rapid-mobilization incident response work.

Award activity shows modest growth. The vendor received 8 awards in 2022, declining to 4 in 2023, rebounding to 11 in 2024, 8 in 2025, and 12 in the first eight months of 2026. Combined potential value across 100 prime awards totals $13.5 million, with $6.2 million obligated (46% of potential). The vendor operates entirely within a single federal agency and its sub-components—no work appears to cross into other departments. Work is performed across western Forest Service regions, with performance sites concentrated in Montana, Colorado, Idaho, Arizona, and New Mexico. Nearly all awards to date cluster within NAICS 541720 (Support Activities for Forestry) and PSC Natural Resources/Conservation Forest-Range Fire Suppression/Presuppression categories, with one equipment-rental award and one fire-fighting equipment purchase order representing minor category outliers.
