Martin Braun

Martin Braun, doing business as Martin Braun Trucking, operates as a sole proprietorship based in Millville, California, providing water handling equipment, emergency response services, and mechanical support for federal fire suppression and all-hazard incident operations. The vendor competes as a prime contractor (100% of recent awards) exclusively under Total Small Business set-asides on National Interagency Fire Center blanket purchase agreements (BPAs) and task orders issued by the U.S. Forest Service.

Martin Braun Trucking's capability footprint is narrowly focused on wildfire and emergency incident support. Core services include water handling equipment and personnel (Type 1, 2, and 3 water tenders and Type 3 and 6 fire engines), mechanic services with mobile service truck support, heavy equipment deployment, and dozer operations for fire suppression across western U.S. Forest Service regions. Representative task orders demonstrate scale: a $145,499.70 delivery order from the Forest Service Region 5 on July 22, 2026, for water handling services at Bishop, California; a $104,617.55 order on August 13, 2026, for the same service type at Solvang, California; and a $50,255 purchase order from the Department of Interior Bureau of Land Management's Idaho Region on June 1, 2025, for water tender support. All work is priced firm fixed price and scheduled for completion within weeks to months of award.

Customer concentration is heavily weighted to the National Interagency Fire Center portfolio. The National Interagency Fire Center accounts for 12 awards (41% of recent total) with combined potential value of $3.5 million; the Forest Service Region 5 (Pacific Southwest Region) holds 10 awards worth $533 thousand; and the Department of Interior Bureau of Land Management's Idaho Region places 3 awards totaling $121 thousand. Four federal agencies collectively represent 100% of the vendor's award footprint.

Martin Braun Trucking holds multiple Virtual Incident Procurement Incident Blanket Purchase Agreements (VIPR I-BPAs), all $250,000 to $500,000 ceilings awarded through February 2026 and extending through 2030 or 2031. Active vehicles include water handling services BPAs for West Zone (Regions 3, 5, 6, 10) and Region 5 specifically; mechanic with service truck BPAs for West Zone (Regions 5, 6) and East Zone (Regions 1, 2, 4); heavy equipment BPAs for East Zone (Regions 1, 2, 4, 9) and Region 5; and a $500,000 water handling equipment IDV for Region 5. Task orders against these vehicles form the bulk of recent activity. The top five IDV vehicles supported 17 task orders with combined potential value of $493 thousand.

Activity has accelerated sharply. The vendor was inactive from 2023 through mid-2024 (one award in 2022, three in 2024), then received twelve task orders in 2025 and thirteen in 2026 as the National Interagency Fire Center and Region 5 Forest Service issued against newly awarded BPAs. Combined potential value across all 29 awards totals $4.2 million, with $737 thousand obligated to date (17% drawdown). No recompete cliff data is provided in the source; however, the oldest IDV vehicle carries an ultimate completion date of June 6, 2025 (now past), indicating some prior-year BPA vehicles have expired or are expiring as newer 2026-dated vehicles come online.

Martin Braun Trucking operates as a sole proprietor with no visible subcontracting footprint and does not hold seats on government-wide acquisition contracts or federal schedules. Work is performed exclusively in western U.S. locations (California, Nevada, Idaho, Oregon regions) and is routed entirely through Total Small Business set-aside procurement channels. The vendor's profile is typical of specialized emergency-services contractors embedded in the Virtual Incident Procurement system for seasonal or surge-capacity fire suppression support.
