JB Contractors, LLC

JB Contractors, LLC, a self-certified small disadvantaged business based in Pendleton, Oregon, is a sole proprietorship limited liability company that provides equipment rentals, vehicles, and operational support services for wildland fire suppression and federal lands management to the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service and the National Interagency Fire Center as a prime contractor. The company competes exclusively under Total Small Business set-asides on its Indefinite Delivery Vehicle holdings and full-and-open competition on delivery order task orders issued against those vehicles.

JB Contractors' capability portfolio centers on rapid mobilization of specialized equipment for emergency fire response and land management operations. The company furnishes heavy equipment such as excavators, dozers, water trucks, refrigerated trailers, handwashing stations, and all-terrain vehicles, along with associated personnel and logistical support. Representative delivery orders include a $163,318 equipment rental and operational support order from Forest Service Region 6 (Pacific Northwest) in April 2024, a $115,440 delivery order from the Forest Service's national incident program in August 2024 for multipurpose equipment across multiple regions, and a $106,600 equipment rental and operational support order from Forest Service Region 6 in July 2026. The company also executes smaller routine orders ranging from $2,500 to $50,000 across four Forest Service regions and the Bureau of Reclamation.

Customer concentration sits almost entirely with the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service and its Fire and Aviation Management division at the National Interagency Fire Center. The top two customer buckets account for 95% of recent awards by count: Forest Service Region 6 Pacific Northwest Region (48 awards, $2.2 million combined potential value) and Forest Service Fire and Aviation Management National Interagency Fire Center (34 awards, $15.2 million combined potential value). The potential-value ranking reverses this split—the National Interagency Fire Center IDVs dominate dollars ($15.2 million across 34 awards) while Region 6 delivers higher order count ($2.2 million across 48 awards), a pattern typical of larger vehicle ceilings paired with smaller routine task orders.

JB Contractors holds 18 parent Indefinite Delivery Vehicles, all awarded under Total Small Business set-asides and running through 2028–2031. The largest vehicle by task order volume is Indefinite Delivery Contract 1202RZ22T0124 (37 task orders, $410 thousand combined potential value), a multipurpose utility vehicle I-BPA valued at $7.5 million that runs through December 2026. Secondary vehicles include three $500,000-ceiling I-BPAs awarded February 2026 for refrigerated trailers (Regions 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9), heavy equipment with water (Regions 3, 5, 6), and water handling (Region 6), plus seven additional $250,000-ceiling IDVs for miscellaneous heavy equipment, potable and gray water trucks, and vehicle-with-driver services across Regions 5 and 6. All vehicles operate on firm fixed-price delivery order terms within the Forest Service's Virtual Incident Procurement (VIPR) system, enabling task order issuance without additional competition.

Activity has grown substantially: four awards in 2022 and 2023 each, accelerating to 28 in 2024, 24 in 2025, and 25 year-to-date in 2026. Combined potential value across 110 awards stands at $17.9 million, with $2.5 million obligated (14% draw-down). The source data span from May 2023 to August 2026. Recompete exposure emerges in the near term: the original $7.5 million multipurpose utility vehicle I-BPA (1202RZ22T0124) expires December 31, 2026, though JB Contractors has won subsequent-generation IDVs with extended performance dates through 2028–2031, suggesting continuity of access.

JB Contractors operates exclusively as a prime contractor across all 110 awards; there are no sub-award relationships in the source data. The company's work is geographically dispersed across Forest Service Regions 1 through 6, with performance locations in Oregon, Washington, Idaho, and California, and administrative oversight centered in Pendleton. Award footprint concentrates on NAICS 541899 (Support Activities for Forestry) and 532112 (Truck, Utility Trailer, and RV Rental and Leasing), with PSC codes dominated by fire suppression/presuppression support and equipment rental for ground vehicles and construction machinery.

JB Contractors provides construction services including fencing, small building construction and remodeling, road maintenance, culvert cleaning, grading, cattle guard, road sign, including forestry services (tree planting and fire suppression).
