Martin Excavation And Trucking Inc.

Martin Excavation And Trucking Inc., a veteran-owned small business based in Philipsburg, Montana, supplies heavy equipment and related services for wildland fire suppression and all-hazard incident response to the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service as a prime contractor under total small business set-asides. The company operates exclusively as a prime, with six awards carrying a combined potential value of $1.8 million across indefinite-delivery contracts and delivery orders placed by the National Interagency Fire Center and the Forest Service's Pacific Northwest Region.

Martin Excavation And Trucking holds five VIPR (Virtual Incident Procurement) multiple-award indefinite-delivery contracts with the National Interagency Fire Center, each carrying ceiling values between $250,000 and $500,000 and performance periods extending through May 2030. These IDIQs cover distinct geographic zones: one for Region 6 (Pacific Northwest) only, one for West Zone Regions 5 and 6, one for East Zone Regions 1, 2, 4, and 9, and a legacy agreement (expiring February 2025) for East Zone operations. Equipment procured under these vehicles includes dozers (Types 1-4), excavators (Types 1-4), and tractor plows, along with associated personnel, training, and certification support. The company's most recent activity is a $37,777.52 firm-fixed-price delivery order awarded August 29, 2026, by the Forest Service Region 6 for heavy equipment dispatch to wildland fire suppression operations in Baker City, Oregon, completing September 5, 2026.

Customer concentration is extreme and narrow: 100% of recent awards derive from the Department of Agriculture Forest Service, with the National Interagency Fire Center anchoring five of six awards worth the full $1.8 million in combined potential value. Activity has resumed after a 2023–2024 gap, with one award in 2023, two in 2025, and three in 2026. Combined dollars obligated across all awards total $38 thousand — roughly 2% of combined potential value — reflecting the heavily exercised nature of the IDIQs and the early-stage of delivery-order drawdown. The company has no subcontractor footprint and no holdings on civilian or defense IT vehicles, making it a specialized provider for fire-management heavy equipment in the Pacific Northwest and West Zone corridors under the VIPR system.
