JBL Contracting Group LLC

JBL Contracting Group LLC, a small business based in Coquille, Oregon, operates exclusively as a prime contractor providing heavy equipment rental, procurement, and logistics services to federal wildland fire management programs under total small business set-asides. The vendor competes entirely within set-aside vehicles and holds no subcontracting footprint.

JBL's federal work centers on wildland fire suppression and equipment support for the Department of Agriculture's Forest Service Fire and Aviation Management program, specifically the National Interagency Fire Center. The vendor's capability portfolio is narrowly specialized: equipment procurement and task ordering for heavy machinery (chippers, water handling equipment, miscellaneous heavy equipment) and off-highway vehicles supporting fire operations across the Pacific Northwest and other western regions. Recent representative work includes a $197,540 delivery order from the National Interagency Fire Center for miscellaneous heavy equipment in Sandy, Oregon, awarded August 12, 2026; a $229,980 order for the same program awarded August 11, 2026; and a $102,900 order awarded August 29, 2026, all firm fixed price under total small business set-asides.

Customer concentration is absolute — 100% of awards derive from the Department of Agriculture Forest Service Fire and Aviation Management program, split between the National Interagency Fire Center (8 awards, $2 million combined potential value) and the Forest Service R6-Pacific Northwest Region (8 awards, $819 thousand combined potential value). The vendor operates primarily through indefinite-delivery contracts held at the National Interagency Fire Center. It holds seats on eight IDIQs, each carrying $250,000 ceilings and running through 2028–2031: VIPR I-BPA for off-highway vehicles, Heavy Equipment Task Force for Region 6, VIPR I-BPA for Heavy Equipment Task Force for Regions 1 and 4, west zone heavy equipment with water for Regions 3, 5, and 6, chipper for Regions 5 and 6, miscellaneous heavy equipment for Region 6–Pacific Northwest, water handling for Region 6–Pacific Northwest, and heavy equipment for west zone Regions 5 and 6. Against the miscellaneous heavy equipment IDIQ alone (1204H126T8045), JBL has received seven delivery orders totaling $440,063.33 — exceeding the contract's $250,000 ceiling. Activity began July 31, 2026, with sixteen awards issued across a single calendar year, all from August through September 2026. Place of performance is limited to Sandy and Vancouver, Washington, and Wenatchee, Washington, in the Pacific Northwest region. The vendor operates under NAICS 238910 (Support Activities for Forestry) on 15 of 16 awards, with PSC Natural Resources/Conservation–Forest-Range Fire Suppression/Presuppression covering the entire portfolio.
