Matthew J Johnson

Matthew J Johnson, doing business as Matt Johnson Trucking, is an SBA-certified HUBZone small business sole proprietorship that provides transportation and logistical support services to the U.S. Forest Service and National Interagency Fire Center as a prime contractor, specializing in wildfire suppression and emergency incident response across western U.S. regions.

Matt Johnson Trucking, headquartered in Etna, California, competes under the HUBZone set-aside category across its entire prime footprint. The vendor delivers concrete capability in water handling equipment and services, vehicle-with-driver transportation, potable and gray water truck operations, trailer-mounted handwashing stations, and equipment transportation to support fire suppression, all-hazard incident response, and land management operations. The company has served federal agencies since 2004 and operates as a sole proprietorship with no subcontract footprint.

Customer concentration is extreme and singular. The Department of Agriculture Forest Service accounts for 94% of awards across five distinct operational units: the National Interagency Fire Center (18 awards, $2.9 million combined potential value), Federal Fire and Aviation Management (26 awards, $1.5 million), Region 5—Pacific Southwest Region (48 awards, $1 million), Region 6—Pacific Northwest Region (2 awards, $62 thousand), and the parent agency (2 awards, $27 thousand). The ranking by potential value tracks closely with volume; the National Interagency Fire Center anchors dollar value while Region 5 dominates award count. No other federal customer has placed an award.

The vendor holds seven active indefinite delivery contracts, all issued by the National Interagency Fire Center or Forest Service, each with a $250,000 to $500,000 ceiling and firm fixed-price terms. The top five parent vehicles (IDC 1202SB22T7975, BPA AG9J61B167308, BPA AG9J61B147208, IDC 129J6120T7047, and BPA AG9J61B137361) carry 44 task orders and $928 thousand in combined potential value. All contracts carry Total Small Business set-asides and run through 2025 to 2031, with performance located in Region 5 (Pacific Southwest Region) and Region 6 (Pacific Northwest Region) only.

Activity has declined over the past four years—from 10 awards in 2022 to 4 awarded in 2026—though the vendor received an 18-county delivery order on August 8, 2026, from Forest Service Region 6 for $51,273 (the most recent award in the source). Combined potential value across all 102 awards stands at $5.6 million, with $1.5 million obligated to date (26% of total potential). The vendor competes full-and-open (no set-aside designations on individual delivery orders, though HUBZone certification enables participation) and receives delivery orders ranging from $4,855 to $51,273, with typical performance periods of four to thirty days.
