Kevin Saylor Excavating, Inc.

Kevin Saylor Excavating, Inc. is a self-certified small disadvantaged business based in Roseburg, Oregon that provides heavy equipment rental—dozers, excavators, and log loaders—to federal wildland fire suppression and emergency response programs as a prime contractor exclusively under total small business set-asides. The company operates 100% as a prime across thirteen awards with combined potential value of $41.6 million, with no subcontractor footprint.

The capability portfolio centers on incident-responsive heavy equipment rental with associated personnel and transportation for wildland fire suppression and forest management operations. Representative work includes a $40 million multiple-award Indefinite Delivery Contract from the Department of the Interior Bureau of Land Management Oregon-Washington Region (awarded August 28, 2026, with a September 2026 delivery order for $2,500 under the Forestry Stewardship IDIQ), a $500,000 IDC from the National Interagency Fire Center for West Zone Regions 5 and 6 heavy equipment (awarded February 6, 2026, through the Virtual Incident Procurement program), and a $250,000 IDC from the National Interagency Fire Center for Region 6 Pacific Northwest equipment rental (awarded August 6, 2026, through VIPR, covering 2-10 week task order cycles).

Customer concentration is extreme: the Bureau of Land Management Oregon-Washington dominates by potential value, holding four awards worth $40 million (96% of combined potential value), while the Department of Agriculture Forest Service Fire and Aviation Management National Interagency Fire Center accounts for seven awards totaling $1.5 million by potential value but nearly 54% of award count. The Department of Agriculture Forest Service R6-Pacific Northwest Region rounds out the active set with two awards worth $125 thousand. All three customers sit within the wildland fire suppression and forest stewardship mission space.

Activity is recent and uneven: one award in 2023, one in 2024, then four awards in 2026 following the BLM and NIFC IDC awards. Combined dollars obligated across all awards total $385 thousand, representing 1% of combined potential value, reflecting the IDIQ and delivery-order structure where ceilings are set but task orders trigger actual obligation. The company holds five active Indefinite Delivery Contracts running through 2036, anchored by the $40 million BLM Forestry Stewardship IDIQ (August 2026–August 2036) and two NIFC VIPR IDCs for Regions 5-6 (ceilings of $500,000 and $250,000, running through June 2028).

Primary NAICS codes align with the capability base: Support Activities for Forestry (10 awards) and Logging (2 awards), with Natural Resources/Conservation—Forest-Range Fire Suppression/Presuppression dominating the PSC category (9 awards). All work is priced firm fixed price and performed across the Pacific Northwest (Oregon and Washington dispatch coordination), with place of performance extending across BLM and Forest Service administrative boundaries within the Oregon-Washington Region and West Zone Regions 5 and 6.
