Lavenbarg, Daniel A

Lavenbarg, Daniel A, operating as Riverbanks Building & Farm Supply, is a sole proprietorship based in Medford, Oregon, that supplies heavy equipment and water handling services for wildland fire suppression and incident response to the USDA Forest Service as a prime contractor under small business set-asides and full-and-open delivery orders. The vendor operates exclusively in NAICS 333923 (Support Activities for Forestry) and PSC 6505 (Natural Resources/Conservation—Forest-Range Fire Suppression/Presuppression), competing predominantly under Total Small Business set-asides on Indefinite Delivery Contracts and Blanket Purchase Agreements issued through the National Interagency Fire Center's Virtual Incident Procurement system.

Riverbanks' capability footprint centers on the supply and dispatch of specialized firefighting equipment—dozers, excavators, cranes, water tenders (Support Type 1, 2, and 3; Tactical Type 1 and 2), and Engines Type 3, 4, 5, and 6—to support emergency wildland fire response and forest management operations across western U.S. regions. Recent representative work includes a $220,869 delivery order from the USDA Forest Service Region 6 (Pacific Northwest) issued July 8, 2025, for heavy equipment provision through an Indefinite Delivery Contract; a $57,618 order from Region 6 issued September 15, 2025, for incident-response equipment; and a $62,650 order from Region 5 (Pacific Southwest) issued August 22, 2023, for water handling and heavy equipment services.

Customer concentration is extreme: 57 of 72 awards ($2.3 million combined potential value, 54% of total) flow to the USDA Forest Service Region 6 Pacific Northwest Region; the National Interagency Fire Center (Fire and Aviation Management) holds 10 awards ($1.8 million, 42% of total); Region 5 holds 2 awards ($116 thousand); and the Department of the Interior Bureau of Land Management Idaho Region holds 1 award ($30 thousand). The top two customers account for 80 awards and 96% of combined potential value, signaling acute single-agency and single-region dependency.

Riverbanks holds five active Indefinite Delivery Contracts through the National Interagency Fire Center, each with a $250,000 ceiling and firm fixed-price structure: a water-handling IDC for Region 6 through May 29, 2030; a heavy-equipment IDC for West Zone Regions 5 and 6 through May 19, 2029; a water-handling IDC for Region 6 through May 29, 2030; a heavy-equipment IDC through May 19, 2029; and a legacy IDC through June 6, 2025 (expired). Against these vehicles and related BPAs, Riverbanks has issued 72 delivery orders and purchase orders since 2005, with recent activity stable at 3–8 awards annually. The vendor carries 100% prime positioning with zero subcontract work.

Award dollars obligated stand at $2.4 million against $4.3 million in combined potential value (56% realization rate), suggesting backlog or slow-moving task orders under standing IDC vehicles. No recompete cliff is evident in the source; most IDCs extend through 2029–2030. The vendor's footprint is narrow, localized to Pacific Northwest incident response, and entirely dependent on USDA Forest Service procurement through pre-positioned emergency-response vehicles.
