Resolute Forge LLC

Resolute Forge LLC, a Hispanic American-owned and minority-owned small business based in Magdalena, New Mexico, delivers heavy equipment and trained personnel for wildfire suppression and emergency response to federal agencies exclusively under Total Small Business set-asides as a prime contractor.

Resolute Forge competes entirely in full small-business set-aside territory, with all 15 awards in the past eighteen months issued under Total Small Business designations. The company's operational footprint is concentrated in wildfire suppression and disaster response across the Southwest, with place-of-performance locations primarily in New Mexico (Albuquerque, Rio Rancho, Santa Fe, Alamogordo, and Socorro) and service delivery across FEMA Regions 3 and 8. Resolute Forge's capability portfolio centers on the provisioning and deployment of heavy equipment—including dozers, excavators, tractor plows, and gravel separation machinery—alongside transport and vehicle-with-driver services staffed by trained, certified personnel. Representative work includes a $61,200 delivery order from the Department of Agriculture issued May 17, 2026, for heavy equipment under the National Interagency Fire Center's regional IDIQ; a $47,012 delivery order from USDA Forest Service Region 3 issued August 21, 2026; and a $22,720 purchase order from the Bureau of Reclamation issued June 3, 2025, for a heavy-duty adjustable rip-rap Grizzly Rock Separator.

Customer concentration is heavy in Department of Agriculture forest-fire and emergency-response agencies. The National Interagency Fire Center dominates by potential value, accounting for five awards totaling $1.5 million. USDA Forest Service Region 3 (Southwestern) places five additional awards worth $223 thousand, and the broader Forest Service adds four more awards totaling $83 thousand. Combined, USDA and its subordinate fire-management bureaus represent 100% of the tracked award count and potential value. Resolute Forge holds seats on two primary indefinite-delivery contracts: National Interagency Fire Center IDC 1202SB25T7016 ($500,000 ceiling through April 2030, heavy equipment for Regions 3 and 8, awarded February 2026) with six task orders for $206 thousand in combined potential value, and National Interagency Fire Center IDC 1202SB26T8512 ($250,000 ceiling through August 2031, vehicle-with-driver services for Regions 3 and 8 East Zone, awarded August 2026) with three task orders totaling $100 thousand. A third IDIQ—the USDA Forest Service VIPR I-BPA for Heavy Equipment for Regions 3 and 8 ($250,000 ceiling through April 2030, awarded April 2025)—is also active in the vendor's portfolio.

Activity has accelerated sharply: three awards in 2025 and twelve in 2026. Of the $1.8 million combined potential value across all awards, $329 thousand (18%) has been obligated to date, reflecting the rapid-turnover, task-order nature of the work. The top two parent vehicles account for nine task orders totaling $306 thousand. Resolute Forge operates as a pure prime contractor with no subcontract activity in the source data. The company's NAICS profile is dominated by Support Activities for Forestry (12 awards), with minor exposure in Construction Machinery Manufacturing and General Automotive Repair.
