Lavenbarg, Daniel A

Lavenbarg, Daniel A, doing business as Riverbanks Building & Farm Supply, supplies heavy equipment and water handling services for wildland fire suppression and incident response to the USDA Forest Service as a sole proprietor competing exclusively under Total Small Business set-asides. The Medford, Oregon–based company operates under NAICS 333923 (Support Activities for Forestry) and PSC 6505 (Natural Resources/Conservation–Forest-Range Fire Suppression/Presuppression), holding all 75 of its recent federal awards as prime contractor rather than subcontractor.

Customer concentration is extreme and persistent: the Department of Agriculture Forest Service Region 6 (Pacific Northwest Region) accounts for 60 of 75 awards and $2.8 million of the $5.3 million combined potential value (52% of all awards, 53% of all dollars). The National Interagency Fire Center, housed within the Department of Agriculture, places an additional 10 awards worth $2.3 million combined potential value. Together, these two USDA Forest Service entities represent 93% of award count and 97% of combined potential value. The Department of Agriculture Forest Service Region 5 (Pacific Southwest Region), the broader Department of Agriculture Forest Service, and the Department of the Interior Bureau of Land Management Idaho Region account for the remaining 5 awards and approximately $210 thousand. Riverbanks has worked with only five distinct customer agencies in the source window.

The vendor holds seat on five primary Indefinite Delivery Contracts through the National Interagency Fire Center under the Virtual Incident Procurement system. The largest vehicles by combined potential value are Indefinite Delivery Contract 12569R24T7098 (12 task orders, $1.2 million), Indefinite Delivery Contract 1204H120T7260 (11 task orders, $444 thousand), Blanket Purchase Agreement AG04H1B167270 (21 task orders, $510 thousand), Indefinite Delivery Contract 1202SB22T7954 (6 task orders, $236 thousand), and Blanket Purchase Agreement AG04H1B137028 (6 task orders, $218 thousand). Two additional IDCs awarded in February and May 2026 carry $500,000 ceilings each through 2029 and 2030 for water handling equipment and heavy equipment provision across West Zone Regions 5 and 6. Representative recent awards include a $289,544 delivery order from Region 6 issued June 20, 2026, for water tenders and engines, a $220,869 Region 6 delivery order issued July 8, 2025, for heavy equipment, and a $15,741 delivery order from Region 6 issued August 22, 2026, for equipment and water handling services in wildland fire suppression operations.

Activity across the five-year window has remained modest and variable—ranging from three awards in 2022 to eight in both 2023 and 2025. The vendor reports 75 total awards dating to 2005, indicating long-standing Forest Service relationship, but recent annual throughput remains low relative to typical federal contractors. Combined potential value stands at $5.3 million with $2.9 million obligated (55% realization rate). The vendor's footprint is entirely dependent on USDA Forest Service Region 6 procurement and the National Interagency Fire Center's Virtual Incident Procurement system; customer diversification is minimal and geographic scope is limited to western U.S. regions (Regions 3, 5, 6, and 10 when multiple regions are referenced). Delivery orders typically carry firm fixed-price structures with completion dates ranging from one to eight weeks, reflecting the emergency-response nature of wildland fire suppression contracting. The company carries no subcontract work and holds no positions on government-wide acquisition contracts or schedule vehicles outside the National Interagency Fire Center ecosystem.
