Mcleran, Richard

Mcleran, Richard is a sole proprietorship registered as Richard Mcleran Trucking that provides heavy equipment and transportation services to the federal government. It is self-certified as a small disadvantaged business. The vendor rents out travel trailers and mobile housing units to agencies like the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to support temporary housing needs after disasters.

Richard Mcleran Trucking has been awarded prime contracts to supply equipment and personnel for wildfire suppression and all-hazard incident response across multiple regions. In 2021, FEMA issued a $55,365 purchase order for the company to lease up to 10 pads to house travel trailers and mobile homes for survivors displaced by disasters in California. The U.S. Forest Service and National Interagency Fire Center have awarded the company multiple Indefinite Delivery Vehicles (IDVs) through the Virtual Incident Procurement system as total small business set-asides. These firm-fixed-price IDVs enable the agencies to procure miscellaneous heavy equipment like dozers and excavators on an as-needed basis to support wildland fire protection and emergency response missions.

Richard Mcleran Trucking currently holds two $250,000 multiple-award IDVs to provide heavy equipment and operators to the Forest Service across Regions 3, 5, and 6 through June 2024 and in the Pacific Southwest Region through June 2023. The solicitations sought equipment quotes based on 16-hour daily shifts, with evaluations factoring in small disadvantaged business status. Under the IDVs, the Forest Service can issue task orders to position the vendor's resources at specified dispatch centers to meet emergency response timelines cost-effectively depending on equipment locations. The parent IDV vehicles establish a pool of qualified vendors to fulfill recurring requirements for heavy equipment and personnel across the agency's fire and aviation management programs.
