Jay Holtmann, Inc.

Jay Holtmann, Inc., a self-certified small disadvantaged business based in Underwood, Washington, provides heavy equipment and related services for wildland firefighting and forest land management to the Department of Agriculture Forest Service as a prime contractor exclusively under total small business set-asides and full-and-open delivery orders. The vendor is a for-profit Subchapter S corporation with a footprint entirely within federal civilian natural resources agencies — 100% of recent awards are prime contracts, with zero subcontract work.

Jay Holtmann's capability portfolio centers on forestry equipment provision: skidders, dozers, excavators, and related machinery for fire suppression, all-hazard incident response, and land management operations across western U.S. regions. Concrete representative work includes a $213,200 firm fixed-price delivery order from the Department of Agriculture Forest Service, Pacific Northwest Region (Region 6), awarded July 24, 2026, under a total small business set-aside for heavy equipment and related services with performance through September 3, 2026; a $134,400 delivery order from the same customer entity awarded August 25, 2023, for unspecified conservation services to the Forest Service's Pacific Northwest regional office; and a $92,000 purchase order from the Department of Agriculture Idaho Region, awarded June 1, 2025, for a Type 2 skidder with performance in Boise, Idaho. Jay Holtmann also holds four indefinite delivery contracts, all with total small business set-asides and ceilings ranging from $250,000 to $500,000, awarded by the National Interagency Fire Center (Department of Agriculture Forest Service Fire and Aviation Management) in February and May 2024 and February 2026, covering heavy equipment for West Zone Regions 5 and 6 and Region 6 specifically through 2028–2029.

Customer concentration is heavily weighted to Department of Agriculture Forest Service entities. The Forest Service's R6-Pacific Northwest Region accounts for 16 awards and $1.1 million in combined potential value; the Fire and Aviation Management National Interagency Fire Center accounts for 7 awards and $1.9 million combined potential value; and smaller allocations go to the Forest Service's Federal Fire and Aviation Management office, the Department of the Interior Bureau of Land Management Idaho Region, and the general Forest Service. The top two customer rollups account for 100% of recent awards across all five identified agencies. Jay Holtmann places task orders under five parent indefinite delivery contracts: IDC 12569R23T7688 carries 8 task orders valued at $594 thousand; IDC 1204H124T7144 carries 3 task orders valued at $101 thousand; IDC 1204H119T7009 carries 2 task orders valued at $139 thousand; and two smaller vehicles each carry one to two orders. All work is categorized under Support Activities for Forestry (NAICS 27 awards) and Natural Resources/Conservation fire suppression and presuppression (PSC 25 awards).

Activity has fluctuated modestly — one award in 2022, three in 2023, five in 2024, four in 2025, and four in 2026 year-to-date — with combined potential value across all 27 awards totaling $3.3 million and obligated dollars reaching $1 million (31% of potential value). No near-term recompete cliff is indicated; the most recent IDC awards carrying the highest ceiling values extend through May and June 2029. Jay Holtmann operates exclusively as a prime contractor with no subcontract exposure and has not held a government-wide acquisition contract or multi-agency vehicle seat; its competitive footprint is limited to Forest Service and Interior Bureau of Land Management delivery orders and the four indefinite delivery contracts anchored to the National Interagency Fire Center.
