Kiser & Kiser LLC

Kiser & Kiser LLC, a woman-owned small business limited liability partnership based in Prineville, Oregon, supplies heavy equipment and trained personnel for wildland fire suppression and emergency incident management to federal land management agencies as a prime contractor under total small business set-asides. The company operates exclusively in the prime role (100% of recent awards) and specializes in deploying bulldozers, excavators, tractor plows, transportation services, and skilled equipment operators to support wildfire and hazard response across the western United States.

Kiser & Kiser's customer base is highly concentrated in forest and land management agencies. The top three funding entities account for 93% of recent awards: the Department of Agriculture Forest Service Pacific Northwest Region (Region 6) leads with 39 awards and $1.3 million combined potential value, followed by the Department of Agriculture Forest Service Fire and Aviation Management's National Interagency Fire Center with 7 awards and $1.3 million combined potential value, and the Department of the Interior Bureau of Land Management Oregon-Washington with 7 awards and $61 thousand combined potential value. The two customer rankings align closely on both volume and dollars — USDA Forest Service entities dominate across both measures. Kiser & Kiser also holds minor awards with the Department of Agriculture Forest Service broadly and the Occupational Safety and Health Review Commission.

The vendor holds four primary Indefinite Delivery Contracts, all structured as total small business set-asides with firm fixed-price delivery orders and $250,000 annual ceilings running through May to June 2028. Two IDCs cover Regions 5 and 6 (awarded by the National Interagency Fire Center in February 2026 and by the USDA Forest Service in June 2023), and two cover Regions 3 and 8 (awarded by the National Interagency Fire Center in February 2026 and by the USDA Forest Service in May 2023). Individual delivery orders under these vehicles range from $3,613.50 to $64,160. Recent representative work includes a $10,426 delivery order in May 2026 for fire management operations in Bend, Oregon; a $30,075 delivery order in September 2025 for heavy equipment and emergency response services under Region 6; a $54,400 delivery order in September 2024 for equipment and personnel supporting fire suppression; and a $43,519 Type 3 dozer delivery from the National Interagency Fire Center in August 2021. Kiser & Kiser also places task orders against five additional BPAs and IDCs managed by USDA Forest Service and regional offices, with the top vehicle (IDC 12569R23T7731) carrying 10 task orders totaling $345 thousand in potential value.

Activity has been episodic over the past five years — one award in 2022, seven in 2023, three in 2024, one in 2025, and three in 2026 to date — reflecting the on-call, emergency-driven nature of fire suppression contracting. Combined potential value across all 59 awards is $2.7 million, with $1 million obligated (38% of ceiling). The vendor's work falls entirely within natural resources and forestry support (52 awards under NAICS 541720 Support Activities for Forestry) and forest-range fire suppression PSC codes (50 awards), with minor site preparation and equipment rental work. Kiser & Kiser operates as a sole prime with no subcontractor footprint and generates revenue exclusively from wildland fire and hazard response missions on federal lands in western regions.
