Knights Mechanical Falling, Inc.

Knights Mechanical Falling, Inc., a small business subchapter S corporation based in Missoula, Montana, provides specialized forestry management, vegetation clearing, and controlled tree felling services to the USDA Forest Service as a prime contractor exclusively under total small business set-asides and full-and-open delivery orders. The vendor operates a highly focused customer footprint centered on wildfire prevention, fire suppression, and emergency incident response across federal land management regions.

Knights Mechanical Falling's award portfolio spans 31 prime contracts and indefinite-delivery vehicles totaling $9.4 million in combined potential value, with $319 thousand obligated across recent task orders. Ninety-four percent of awards concentrate with the Department of Agriculture Forest Service, split across the National Interagency Fire Center (5 awards, $8.8 million combined potential value), Region 1 Northern Region (21 awards, $541 thousand), and Region 3 Southwestern Region (2 awards, $140 thousand). The rankings diverge sharply by dollar value: the National Interagency Fire Center anchors 94% of potential dollars despite representing only 16% of award count, driven by four large indefinite-delivery contracts for vehicle and equipment procurement. Region 1 Northern Region dominates transaction volume with 21 awards but carries modest individual order values, reflecting the rapid-deployment structure of delivery-order task orders supporting incident response.

The vendor holds four active indefinite-delivery vehicles anchoring its federal posture. A $7.5 million single-award IDC (awarded May 2024, completion December 31, 2026) procures multipurpose utility vehicles, forestry management services, and equipment rental across Region 1 and Region 4, with ten delivery orders issued through September 2025 ranging from $211 to $15,640 for vegetation clearing and tree felling. A $500,000 multiple-award IDC (awarded February 2026, completion May 2029) provides miscellaneous heavy equipment—feller bunchers, mulcher/masticators, road graders, and skidders—with supervised, trained, and certified personnel across East Zone Regions 1, 2, and 4. Two additional multiple-award contracts with the National Interagency Fire Center, awarded in May 2024 and August 2026, carry $250,000 ceilings each for heavy equipment under the Virtual Incident Procurement (VIPR) system. All IDV awards are designated total small business set-asides.

Recent award activity shows growth from two awards in 2022 to eight in 2025, with five awards already recorded in 2026. Task order execution concentrates under the $7.5 million UTV IDC (1202RZ24T0109), which generated 14 task orders totaling $68 thousand through the source date. Individual delivery orders are small and firm fixed-price, typically $2,000–$15,600, with completion timeframes of days to weeks, reflecting the incident-response operational model. The vendor competes exclusively under total small business set-asides on IDV awards and on mixed small-business and full-and-open delivery orders thereafter. NAICS concentration splits between truck and RV rental and leasing (17 awards) and support activities for forestry (14 awards), with corresponding PSC concentration in forest-range fire suppression and equipment rental. The vendor has no subcontract footprint and operates as an all-prime shop.
