Michael Mcdaniel Holdings LLC

Michael Mcdaniel Holdings LLC, a self-certified small disadvantaged business based in Silver City, New Mexico, provides specialized equipment and support services for emergency fire suppression and forestry operations as a prime contractor under USDA Forest Service multiple-award indefinite-delivery contracts. The vendor operates as a sole proprietorship and competes predominantly on total small business set-aside vehicles; all nine recent awards are prime contracts issued by the Forest Service's Region 3 (Southwestern Region) or the National Interagency Fire Center.

The vendor's capability portfolio centers on potable and gray water trucks, trailer-mounted hand washing stations, and certified personnel to support fire suppression, all-hazard incident response, and prescribed forestry project work across the Region 3 East Zone in New Mexico. Representative work includes a $250,000 multiple-award indefinite-delivery contract awarded May 9, 2024, running through May 9, 2029, under which six delivery orders totaling $58,391.67 were placed between May 27, 2024 and July 15, 2025, and a $500,000 multiple-award indefinite-delivery contract awarded February 6, 2026, running through May 9, 2029. Individual delivery orders under these vehicles range from $4,170 to $15,750 and cover equipment provision, materials, transportation, lodging, and personnel deployment on firm fixed-price terms. The vendor also holds a July 3, 2026 delivery order valued at $9,685 for fire suppression support under a total small business set-aside.

Customer concentration is absolute: 100% of awards (nine total, combined potential value $818 thousand) flow from two sub-offices within the Department of Agriculture Forest Service — the National Interagency Fire Center (two awards, $750 thousand combined potential value in the two IDC vehicles) and Region 3–Southwestern Region (seven awards, $68 thousand combined potential value in delivery orders). The two rankings are inverted by dollar magnitude; the Interagency Fire Center's two large IDVs anchor most potential value, while Region 3 places smaller delivery orders more frequently. Michael Mcdaniel Holdings LLC places all work through a single parent vehicle: Indefinite Delivery Contract 1202SB24T7171, which supports seven task orders totaling $68 thousand. Activity has been sporadic — three awards in 2024, four in 2025, two in 2026 — and the vendor has obligated only $68 thousand of its $818 thousand combined potential value, indicating that most dollar value sits in unexercised IDC ceiling rather than placed orders.
