Mader Ranch LLC

Mader Ranch LLC, a self-certified small disadvantaged business and limited liability company based in Cottonwood, Idaho, supplies heavy equipment and water support for wildfire suppression and forest management operations to the Department of Agriculture as a prime contractor exclusively under Total Small Business set-asides. All seven awards in the vendor's recent portfolio are primes, concentrated in the National Interagency Fire Center's heavy equipment task force (HETF) and regional equipment-provision programs serving the Pacific Northwest and Intermountain regions.

The vendor's customer footprint is singular: the Department of Agriculture's Forest Service Fire and Aviation Management programs account for 100% of awards and combined potential value. Five awards derive from the National Interagency Fire Center ($1.3 million combined potential value), while regional components within the Northern Region and Intermountain Region account for one delivery order each ($208 thousand and $62 thousand respectively). The portfolio shows no sub-award activity and no work outside the wildfire and forest management domain.

Mader Ranch holds five indefinite-delivery multiple-award contracts awarded by the National Interagency Fire Center between July 27 and August 12, 2026, each with $250 thousand ceilings running through 2028–2030. These IDIQs procure heavy equipment, heavy equipment with water, and miscellaneous equipment for regional task forces covering the East Zone and Pacific Northwest regions. The vendor also holds two active delivery orders under Department of Interior regional IDIQs — one for $208 thousand (Northern Region, due September 8, 2026) and one for $62 thousand (Intermountain Region, due September 9, 2026). All contracts are firm fixed price. Combined potential value across all awards stands at $1.5 million, with $270 thousand obligated as of the most recent update (18% of potential value). All seven awards fall under NAICS 333611 (Support Activities for Forestry) and PSC Natural Resources/Conservation – Forest-Range Fire Suppression/Presuppression.

Activity is recent and concentrated — all awards were issued between late July and late August 2026. The vendor's federal footprint reflects a specialized regional equipment provider for fire management operations, with no visible presence on government-wide vehicles, multi-agency IDIQs, or task order vehicles outside the fire-suppression domain.
