Nash Contracting, LLC

Nash Contracting, LLC, a self-certified small disadvantaged business based in Stanfield, Oregon, provides heavy equipment, personnel, and emergency response services for wildland fire suppression and incident management across the western United States exclusively as a prime contractor to the Forest Service and allied federal land-management agencies. The company competes predominantly under Total Small Business set-asides, holding multiple Vendor Inventory for Preparedness Resources (VIPR) Incident Blanket Purchase Agreements with the National Interagency Fire Center and Forest Service regions covering Oregon, California, and surrounding western states.

Nash Contracting's customer base is concentrated almost entirely within the Department of Agriculture Forest Service ecosystem. The top three funding sources account for 100% of recent awards: the Forest Service Fire and Aviation Management National Interagency Fire Center (9 awards, $3.5 million combined potential value), the Forest Service R6–Pacific Northwest Region (23 awards, $2.1 million), and the Forest Service general administrative line (10 awards, $1.1 million). The Department of the Interior Bureau of Land Management Idaho Region accounts for 6 awards totaling $520 thousand. Recent representative work includes a $286,144 delivery order from Region 6 (July 2026) for miscellaneous heavy equipment and incident response, an $88,950 delivery order from Region 6 (September 2026) under a Total Small Business set-aside, and a $174,000 purchase order from Region 6 (August 2026) for log loaders at Pendleton, Oregon.

Nash Contracting's vehicle position centers on eight multiple-award IDIQs awarded by the National Interagency Fire Center between May 2024 and February 2026, each capped at $250,000 to $750,000 and running through 2029–2030. These VIPR I-BPA vehicles cover heavy equipment, heavy equipment with water capacity, and miscellaneous equipment deployment across Regions 3, 5, and 6. The top parent vehicle (IDC 1204H124T7185) carries 18 task orders valued at $1.8 million combined. Three additional vehicles hold 3–4 task orders each, ranging from $277 thousand to $417 thousand. Nearly all task orders are firm fixed price, placed without additional set-aside designation once the prime IDIQ was awarded under Total Small Business.

Award activity has accelerated sharply—one award in 2021, three in 2023, eleven in 2024, nine in 2025, and twenty-five in 2026—tracking seasonal wildfire response demand. Combined potential value across all forty-nine prime awards is $7.4 million, with $3.9 million obligated (53% of potential). Recompete exposure in the next twenty-four months is minimal: only one award ($20 thousand) reaches ultimate completion before October 2028. Nash Contracting's footprint is concentrated in Support Activities for Forestry (NAICS 115310; 47 awards) and Forest-Range Fire Suppression/Presuppression (PSC code; 41 awards), with secondary exposure in equipment rental and road maintenance. The vendor operates with no subcontractors; all work is performed in-house as a prime.
