NZM Logging LLC

NZM Logging LLC, a small business based in Lewiston, Idaho, provides heavy equipment and personnel for wildland fire suppression and forest management operations to the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service as a prime contractor under total small business set-asides. The vendor operates exclusively within the Forest Service's fire and incident response mission, with 100% of its six recent awards concentrated in the National Interagency Fire Center's Virtual Incident Procurement (VIPR) system for heavy equipment provision across USFS Regions 5 and 6 (West Zone).

NZM Logging LLC's capability footprint centers on equipment rental and dispatch — dozers, excavators, and related heavy construction equipment — deployed for suppression work, prescribed project work, and all-hazard incident response in the Pacific Northwest and West regions. Representative work includes a $129,293 delivery order issued by USFS Region 6 on July 29, 2026, for fire suppression support in Wenatchee, Washington, with completion by August 26, 2026; a $54,870 delivery order from the Forest Service issued September 30, 2025, for operations support in Colville, Washington, completed October 11, 2025; and four Indefinite Delivery Contracts awarded February and May 2025 through the National Interagency Fire Center, valued at two $500,000 contracts and two $250,000 contracts, running through May 2030 and covering heavy equipment support in Region 6 (Pacific Northwest) and Regions 5 and 6 combined. All awards are firm fixed-price and structured for rapid mobilization of equipment and personnel to meet response timelines within advertised dispatch centers.

Customer concentration is absolute. The Department of Agriculture Forest Service Fire and Aviation Management National Interagency Fire Center accounts for 4 of 6 awards (88% of the $1.7 million combined potential value), with the remainder split between two additional USFS administrative units. Recent obligation stands at $184 thousand against a combined potential value of $1.7 million. NZM Logging LLC places all work under VIPR Incident Blanket Purchase Agreements and related delivery orders with no parent vehicle layering beyond the VIPR system itself. The vendor does not subcontract and has not held a prime contract vehicle position with other agencies.
