J & Sons Contracting LLC

J & Sons Contracting LLC, a minority-owned, self-certified small disadvantaged business based in Salem, Oregon, provides wildland firefighting, fire suppression, equipment support, and incident response services to federal land management agencies as a prime contractor operating exclusively under total small business set-asides on its indefinite delivery vehicles and competing full-and-open on delivery order task orders.

The vendor specializes in deploying Type 2 firefighter crews, chippers, water handling equipment (engines, support water tenders, tactical water tenders), portable sanitation facilities, and related personnel and equipment for fire suppression, all-hazard incident response, and prescribed burning operations. J & Sons operates as a Limited Liability Company and is identified as a Hispanic American-owned business. Across 117 recent prime awards (spanning May 2024 through September 2026), the vendor has accumulated $29.5 million in combined potential value, with $13.5 million obligated to date. Activity has remained consistent year over year: 37 awards in 2024, 42 in 2025, and 38 in 2026. The vendor maintains no sub-award footprint in the source record.

Customer concentration centers on the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service and the National Interagency Fire Center, which together account for 90% of combined potential value. The National Interagency Fire Center alone anchors 14 awards worth $16 million in potential value, while Forest Service Region 6 (Pacific Northwest) places 37 awards valued at $4.8 million. The Forest Service's regional offices—Regions 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5—comprise an additional $7.4 million across 54 awards. The Department of the Interior's Bureau of Land Management Idaho Region rounds out the top five with 15 awards totaling $1.5 million. These five entities cover 86% of award count and 90% of potential value.

J & Sons holds a portfolio of twelve IDIQs through the National Interagency Fire Center's Virtual Incident Procurement (VIPR) system, all set aside for total small business and carrying firm fixed-price structures. The largest and highest-volume vehicle is Indefinite Delivery Contract 1202SC24T2405 (National Type 2 Firefighter Crews, $4.25 million ceiling, ultimate completion July 1, 2027), which has generated 65 task orders valued at $10.9 million combined potential value. Five additional water handling, chipper, and portable sanitation IDIQs each carry $250 thousand to $7.5 million ceilings and have issued 19 task orders totaling $784 thousand. Delivery order task orders across all IDIQs do not carry set-aside designations at the task order level, though the parent vehicles themselves are total small business set-asides. Work is performed across Forest Service Regions 1 through 6 (Northern, Rocky Mountain, Southwestern, Intermountain, Pacific Southwest, and Pacific Northwest) and in Idaho, with administrative oversight located at Missoula, Montana (National Interagency Fire Center). The vendor also holds direct delivery order awards from regional Forest Service offices and BLM Idaho Region covering fire suppression, construction, and maintenance work at locations nationwide across the western United States.

Sixteen awards with ultimate completion dates in the next twenty-four months carry combined potential value of $3.4 million, representing immediate recompete exposure. The vendor competes on full-and-open task orders under parent vehicles already set-aside, ensuring continued access to these vehicles without annual recompetition at the vehicle level. Primary NAICS code is 561730 (Support Activities for Forestry), with secondary NAICS 562991 (Septic Tank and Related Services) reflected in portable sanitation IDIQs. PSC codes center on fire suppression and presuppression natural resources work.
