JLC Contracting, Inc.

JLC Contracting, Inc., a service-disabled veteran-owned small business (SDVOSB) and minority-owned firm headquartered in Long Creek, Oregon, delivers heavy equipment rental, transportation services, and operator support to the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service and the National Interagency Fire Center as a prime contractor exclusively—all 92 recent awards carry prime status with no subcontract footprint. The vendor competes predominantly under total small business set-asides across its core federal work, though recent deliveries to Forest Service regions (Region 6 Pacific Northwest and Region 4 Intermountain) include non-set-aside delivery orders alongside set-aside work.

JLC Contracting specializes in wildland fire suppression and emergency response equipment and personnel. The vendor provides dozers, excavators, loaders, graders, utility terrain vehicles, water tankers, dump trucks, and skilled operators—all firm fixed-price—deployed to incident response locations across the western United States (Regions 3, 5, 6) and to specific Forest Service projects. Representative work includes a $209,000 delivery order (July 2026, Forest Service Region 6, set-aside) for equipment rental and operator support in Pendleton, Oregon; a $211,230 purchase order (September 2023, Forest Service Region 6, no set-aside) for slash buster vegetation management services in Roseburg, Oregon; and a $66,812 delivery order (August 2024, Forest Service, no set-aside) for heavy equipment and transportation services. Obligated spend across the portfolio stands at $2.4 million against $24.3 million in combined potential value, indicating substantial unfunded ceiling room on active vehicles.

Customer concentration sits almost entirely within the U.S. Department of Agriculture and subordinate Forest Service entities. The National Interagency Fire Center accounts for 32 awards valued at $13.6 million in combined potential value—nearly 56% of total dollars—anchored by a $7 million single-award BPA from the Missoula Technology and Development Center for storm and natural disaster recovery equipment in California and Nevada (November 2021 through November 2023, now expired). The Forest Service Region 6 Pacific Northwest Region carries 48 awards ($3.4 million combined potential value) representing the majority of recent transactional work, while the Forest Service Fire and Aviation Management organization issues both set-aside and open-competition task orders. The Department of the Interior Bureau of Land Management Idaho Region represents a single $18,728 purchase order (June 2025). Together, the top customer (NIFC) and second-ranking customer (Missoula Technology center) account for 100% of combined potential value in the source's top-tier ranking.

JLC Contracting holds 16 active Indefinite Delivery Contracts and Blanket Purchase Agreements, nearly all awarded by the National Interagency Fire Center or Forest Service Region 6 between February 2026 and September 2022. The largest vehicles include a $7.5 million multiple-award IDIQ for multipurpose utility vehicles (September 2022 through December 2026, total small business set-aside) under National Interagency Fire Center; multiple $500,000-ceiling IDIQs for water handling, heavy equipment with water support, and miscellaneous heavy equipment (awarded February 2026, performance through 2029–2030); and a $499,999 single-award BPA for Region 6 road and bridge construction equipment rental (March 2023 through January 2030, no set-aside). The five busiest parent vehicles (all IDIQs and BPAs, all fire/land management scoped) have generated 35 task orders with $945,000 in combined potential value. Work is performed across the Pacific Northwest, Intermountain, and Southwest forest regions, with place-of-performance locations in Oregon, Washington, Idaho, and California.

Activity has grown sharply in 2026—15 awards year-to-date, the highest annual count in the five-year window—following flat activity in 2023–2024 (six awards each year). Award dates cluster in late summer and early fall, consistent with seasonal wildland fire preparedness and pre-season equipment-positioning cycles. Sixty percent of the 2026 awards are total small business set-asides; the remaining 40% carry no set-aside designation, indicating JLC competes on full-and-open competition within its core NIFC and Forest Service vehicles alongside set-aside reservations. Category concentration is extreme: 83 of 92 awards (90%) carry PSC Natural Resources/Conservation—Forest-Range Fire Suppression/Presuppression; NAICS 238210 (Support Activities for Forestry) dominates with 48 awards. No diversity in customer mission or capability type is present in the recent footprint. SBA certifications as veteran-owned small business and service-disabled veteran-owned small business expire August 2, 2027.
