J & R Dirt Diggers Enterprises Inc.

J & R Dirt Diggers Enterprises Inc., an American Indian-owned small business based in White Salmon, Washington, provides heavy equipment rental, excavation, and earthmoving services to the USDA Forest Service as a prime contractor exclusively, competing across both Total Small Business set-asides and full-and-open delivery orders. The vendor operates as a for-profit corporation with a focused geographic footprint in the Pacific Northwest and competing primarily under small-business set-aside vehicles.

The vendor's customer concentration is extreme and by design. The USDA Forest Service Region 6 (Pacific Northwest Region) accounts for 62 of 72 total awards and $3.3 million of the $5.7 million combined potential value. The USDA Forest Service Fire and Aviation Management National Interagency Fire Center holds seven awards worth $2.3 million, while the Department of the Interior Fish and Wildlife Service Region 1 and unspecified USDA Forest Service entities together represent the remaining $109 thousand. All work is regional: dozer operations, site preparation, equipment deployment, and personnel support for wildland fire suppression, land management, and all-hazard incident response across Oregon and Washington.

The vendor holds four named Indefinite Delivery Contracts as prime. Two are with the National Interagency Fire Center — a $750,000 multiple-award Total Small Business contract for miscellaneous heavy equipment in Region 6 (awarded February 6, 2026, completion May 28, 2029) and a $500,000 multiple-award Total Small Business contract for heavy equipment in West Zone Regions 5 and 6 (awarded February 6, 2026, completion June 10, 2028). Two are with the USDA Forest Service as blanket purchase agreements under the Virtual Incident Procurement system: a $250,000 multiple-award Total Small Business BPA for Region 6 only (awarded May 28, 2024, completion May 28, 2029) and a $250,000 multiple-award Total Small Business BPA for Regions 5 and 6 (awarded June 10, 2023, completion June 10, 2028). Recent task orders span $7,100 to $159,971, with delivery-order awards from July 2022 through August 2026 concentrated in the late summer peak-fire season.

Activity has been uneven year to year — two awards in 2022, seven in 2023, seven in 2024, four in 2025, and five in 2026 through mid-August. Combined dollars obligated stand at $2.8 million (48% of potential value), reflecting the vendor's reliance on call-based ordering under IDCs and BPAs rather than firm commitments. The vendor has no subcontract exposure and no sub-awards in the award portfolio. Primary NAICS classification is 532410 (heavy construction equipment rental and leasing) and support activities for forestry, with 67 of 72 awards tagged to the PSC natural resources/conservation forest-range fire suppression/presuppression category. Capability scope is narrow and operationally defined: equipment ownership, trained personnel, and rapid response positioning within dispatch centers close to Region 6 resources to meet federal response-time requirements for wildfire and emergency operations.
