Dennis P Obrien

Dennis P. Obrien, doing business as Bald Mountain Excavation, is a sole proprietorship and certified Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) located in Bellevue, Idaho, specializing in providing heavy equipment rental and excavation services primarily to federal government agencies. Registered in SAM.gov since 2004, the company is a for-profit organization that serves as a manufacturer of goods and offers critical support to public lands management, particularly in wildland fire suppression and emergency response operations. As a small business with DOT certification, Bald Mountain Excavation has established itself as a key contractor for the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Forest Service, providing essential equipment and services across multiple geographic regions.

The company has consistently been awarded federal contract delivery orders focused on supporting public lands management, primarily through the USDA Forest Service's Intermountain and Southwestern Regions. These contracts, ranging from $43,699 to $116,847, involve providing heavy equipment rental services including dozers, excavators, feller bunchers, graders, and masticators for fire suppression and emergency response projects. None of the awarded contracts utilized specific set-aside provisions, though the company is recognized as a small business and DBE. The delivery orders have been primarily concentrated in western states like Idaho and New Mexico, supporting critical infrastructure and emergency management needs across public lands, with contracts issued by Forest Service regional offices.

Dennis P. Obrien holds multiple Indefinite Delivery Contracts (IDCs) with the USDA Forest Service, each valued at $250,000 and set aside for small businesses. These IDCs, awarded through the Virtual Incident Procurement (VIPR) system, cover East Zone Regions 1, 2, 4, and 9, with performance periods extending to 2028 and 2029. The contracts are designed to provide a flexible procurement mechanism for renting heavy equipment to support wildland fire suppression and all-hazard incident response efforts. The IDCs allow for equipment rental up to 16 hours per day and are part of the National Interagency Fire Center's strategy to maintain a responsive equipment procurement network. Task orders under these IDVs have been issued for miscellaneous heavy equipment rentals, supporting emergency management operations across multiple geographic regions.
