Lap Contracting Inc.

Lap Contracting Inc., doing business as Parker Excavating, is a self-certified small disadvantaged woman-owned business that supplies heavy equipment rentals, mechanics, fuel transportation, and weed washing units to the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service as a prime contractor on multiple-award Indefinite Delivery Contracts within the Virtual Incident Procurement system. The Payson, Arizona-based Subchapter S Corporation competes predominantly under total small business set-asides, with 318 prime awards spanning nearly three decades of federal contracting.

Lap Contracting's footprint is heavily concentrated within the Forest Service. The top five customers account for 90 percent of awards, dominated by the Department of Agriculture Forest Service Region 3 (Southwestern Region) with 203 awards valued at $13.3 million combined potential value. The National Interagency Fire Center accounts for 35 awards at $6.1 million, Forest Service Region 5 (Pacific Southwest) holds 18 awards at $1.4 million, the Forest Service broadly carries 25 awards at $1.3 million, and Region 8 (Southern) represents 6 awards at $679 thousand. The concentration reflects Lap Contracting's specialization: the vendor is positioned almost exclusively on Forest Service-owned and operated wildland fire management and emergency response equipment procurement vehicles, with 284 of 318 awards coded to natural resources and forest-range fire suppression under PSC R499 (equipment rental, heavy construction and forestry equipment).

Lap Contracting holds a portfolio of 16 active Indefinite Delivery Contracts awarded through the National Interagency Fire Center, each valued at $250,000 and spanning performance periods extending to 2030. These IDVs are segmented by geography and equipment type: contracts for heavy equipment with water, miscellaneous heavy equipment, fuel tenders, mechanic services with service trucks, and weed washing units, each covering distinct Forest Service regions (Regions 3, 5, 6, and 8). The top five parent vehicles by task-order count are Indefinite Delivery Contract 1202SB23T7158 (49 task orders, $2.4 million), 1202SB21T7963 (33 task orders, $2.6 million), 1202SB24T7060 (31 task orders, $2.5 million), AG8371B177035 (27 task orders, $1.4 million), and 12837121T7009 (20 task orders, $2.2 million). Recent representative delivery orders include a $158,259 award for heavy equipment rental and operational support (June 2026, Region 3), a $123,465 award for equipment and mechanic services in Alamogordo, New Mexico (May 2026, Region 3), and a $238,279 award for equipment and services supporting wildfire suppression in California (September 2023, Region 5). The vendor's capability footprint is concrete: dozers, excavators, water trucks, fuel tenders, masticators, dump trucks, backhoes, and related operator/mechanic support for wildfire suppression, all-hazard incident response, prescribed burns, and land stewardship across the Southwest, Pacific Southwest, Pacific Northwest, and Southern regions.

Activity has remained steady at 40–55 awards per year through 2024, declining to 21 awards in 2025 and 16 in 2026 year-to-date; combined potential value across all 318 awards stands at $29.5 million, with $23.4 million obligated (79 percent draw). The vendor operates exclusively as a prime; no subcontract activity appears in the award footprint. Lap Contracting has been registered in the System for Award Management since 2003 and has maintained continuous Forest Service relationships across multiple regions and a broad spectrum of fire-management-specific equipment classes, positioning it as a specialized provider within the federal wildland fire response ecosystem.
