Kendrick Excavating, Inc., a woman-owned small business incorporated as a Subchapter S Corporation and headquartered in Alpine, California, is a for-profit entity that specializes in providing heavy equipment rental, operations, and transportation services to support federal agencies. The company maintains active federal contracting status and has held a SAM.gov registration since May 2009. Kendrick Excavating, Inc. delivers critical equipment and personnel services essential to wildland fire suppression and emergency incident response operations across multiple regions of the United States.

Kendrick Excavating, Inc. has demonstrated substantial expertise in delivering heavy equipment rental and operations services through federal contract awards from the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service. The company's service portfolio includes the provision of dozers, excavators, trucks, loaders, and other heavy machinery, along with trained operators and support personnel, all designed to support wildland fire suppression and all-hazard incident response efforts. The company received a delivery order valued at $125,492.15 from the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service, Region 5 (Pacific Southwest Region), issued on August 10, 2025, with a firm fixed-price contract structure and an ultimate completion date of August 28, 2025. This delivery order was issued without a set-aside designation, despite the company's maintenance of small business certification status. The services were performed at the company's location in Solvang, California, and represent work executed under one of the company's existing Indefinite Delivery Vehicle agreements established through the Virtual Incident Procurement (VIPR) system, which facilitates rapid equipment deployment for emergency incident response.

Kendrick Excavating, Inc. holds three Indefinite Delivery Contracts, all awarded by the National Interagency Fire Center under the Virtual Incident Procurement (VIPR) system framework. The first IDV, awarded June 25, 2021, carries a $250,000 ceiling value and covered operations through June 16, 2023, providing heavy equipment rental services to support Region 5 (Pacific Southwest) wildland fire suppression and emergency response efforts. The second IDV, awarded July 14, 2021, also carries a $250,000 ceiling and was designed to provide miscellaneous heavy equipment including dozers, excavators, trucks, and loaders with operators and support personnel across Forest Service Regions 3, 5, and 6, with performance extending through June 14, 2024. Both contracts were structured as multiple-award, total small business set-asides. The most recent IDV, awarded June 10, 2023, carries a $250,000 ceiling value and extends performance through June 10, 2028, covering heavy equipment rental, operations, transportation, and related services across Regions 5 and 6 (Pacific Southwest and Pacific Northwest areas) with allowances for optional use by interagency cooperators. All three IDVs operate as firm fixed-price contracts supporting the Forest Service's strategy to increase small business participation in fulfilling critical equipment needs for wildland fire suppression and all-hazard incident response operations.
