Mb's Side Hustle LLC

Mb's Side Hustle LLC, a woman-owned small business based in Clarkston, Washington, provides emergency transportation logistics — vehicles and trained drivers for fire suppression and all-hazard incident response — to the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service under total small business set-aside indefinite delivery contracts. The vendor operates exclusively as a prime contractor on firm fixed-price delivery orders and holds no subcontract exposure.

Mb's Side Hustle LLC is a self-certified small disadvantaged business structured as a for-profit limited liability company. The vendor's concrete capability is the provision of emergency response transportation: a fleet of pickups, stakesides, passenger vans, and sport utility vehicles with trained drivers deployed to support wildfire suppression and all-hazard incident response operations across Regions 5 and 6 (the western United States). Representative delivery orders include a $35,184 order from USDA Forest Service Pacific Northwest Region (Region 6) awarded July 20, 2024, for fire suppression support in Wenatchee, Washington; a $17,556 order from the same region awarded September 10, 2024, for incident response in Lakeview, Oregon; and a $13,470 order from Region 6 awarded October 16, 2025, for transportation logistics in Wenatchee.

All ten awards in the portfolio serve a single customer agency grouping: the Department of Agriculture Forest Service. Three awards (totaling $750 thousand in potential value) flow through the Fire and Aviation Management National Interagency Fire Center, which manages the parent vehicle structure; six awards (totaling $88 thousand) flow through the Pacific Northwest Region (Region 6); and one award (totaling $39 thousand) flows through the Northern Region (Region 1). The vendor's customer concentration is absolute — 100% of awards support Forest Service operations.

Mb's Side Hustle LLC holds positions on three separate total small business set-aside IDCs under the VIPR I-BPA (Vehicle with Driver for Regions 5 & 6 - West Zone) program. The oldest IDC, awarded June 8, 2023, carries a $250 thousand ceiling through June 8, 2028; a second IDC awarded February 6, 2026, also carries a $250 thousand ceiling through June 8, 2028; a third IDC awarded August 18, 2026, carries a $250 thousand ceiling through August 18, 2031. All three are multiple-award contracts set aside for small business participation. Seven task orders totaling $126 thousand in combined potential value have been issued under these IDCs between July 2024 and August 2026.

Activity has grown from one award in 2023 to four awards in 2024, two in 2025, and three in 2026, though the absolute dollar volume remains small. Combined potential value across all ten awards is $876 thousand, with only $126 thousand obligated to date (14% of ceiling). The vendor's footprint is entirely within PSC "Natural Resources/Conservation—Forest-Range Fire Suppression/Presuppression" and NAICS 488410 "All Other Transit and Ground Passenger Transportation," indicating a specialized, narrow-focused capability locked into federal wildfire and emergency logistics demand.
