JNH Contracting LLC

JNH Contracting LLC, a small-business limited liability partnership based in Council, Idaho, supplies heavy equipment with water capabilities for wildland fire suppression and all-hazard incident response to the USDA Forest Service as a prime contractor under total small-business set-asides. The vendor operates exclusively through the Virtual Incident Procurement (VIPR) system's Incident Blanket Purchase Agreement (I-BPA) framework serving Forest Service Regions 1, 2, 4, and 9 in the East Zone.

JNH Contracting holds three indefinite delivery contracts with the National Interagency Fire Center, all structured as multiple-award BPAs with firm fixed-price ratings and $250 thousand ceilings. The vendor was awarded an I-BPA on May 27, 2022 (ultimate completion May 23, 2025), a second I-BPA on May 21, 2025 (ultimate completion May 21, 2030), and a third on February 6, 2026 (ultimate completion May 21, 2030). Equipment mobilized under these contracts includes skidgines, softtracks, and pumper cats dispatched on up to 16-hour daily shifts to support fire suppression, prescribed project work, and all-hazard response. The vendor is responsible for providing equipment, materials, supplies, transportation, lodging, and trained personnel to meet contract specifications. All three vehicles carry total small-business set-aside designations and remain available for optional use by the Department of Interior, National Park Service, and Bureau of Indian Affairs.

Customer concentration is complete — the Department of Agriculture Forest Service Fire and Aviation Management National Interagency Fire Center accounts for 100% of awards and combined potential value ($750 thousand). JNH Contracting operates as a pure prime vendor with no sub-award activity. The three awards are all classified under NAICS Support Activities for Forestry and PSC Natural Resources/Conservation–Forest-Range Fire Suppression/Presuppression. Activity spans 2022, 2025, and 2026, with one vehicle (awarded May 27, 2022) reaching ultimate completion in May 2025 and therefore facing potential recompete in that window.
