K & M Contracting Inc.

K & M Contracting Inc. is a woman-owned small business registered in SAM.gov since 2003, located in Bend, Oregon. The company is structured as a for-profit Subchapter S Corporation and specializes in providing critical services and equipment for wildland firefighting and emergency response activities. K & M Contracting has established itself as a key contractor for federal agencies, particularly the U.S. Forest Service, by offering specialized support in fire suppression, incident management, and related operational needs.

The company has consistently received federal contract awards primarily from the U.S. Forest Service's Region 6 - Pacific Northwest Region and the National Interagency Fire Center. These contracts range from $7,900 to $85,050 and involve delivery orders for various firefighting support services, including water handling services, heavy equipment with water capabilities (such as skidgines), and emergency response equipment. While most of their contracts do not have specific set-aside designations, K & M Contracting has been awarded contracts that leverage small business set-aside opportunities, demonstrating their ability to provide specialized services in critical emergency response scenarios.

K & M Contracting holds two notable Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contracts, both with total small business set-asides. The first is a multiple award contract for Water Handling services covering USFS Regions 3, 5, 6, and 10, with a $250,000 ceiling and performance period ending June 7, 2025. The second IDC is for Heavy Equipment with Water capabilities in Regions 5 and 6, also with a $250,000 ceiling and performance period through June 2, 2025. These contracts facilitate the issuance of fixed-price delivery orders for equipment, materials, supplies, transportation, lodging, personnel, and management services supporting wildland fire suppression and all-hazards incident response. The contracts were solicited through the Virtual Incident Procurement (VIPR) system and allow K & M Contracting to provide on-call services primarily in the Pacific Northwest region.
