Parker Excavation & Forestry, LLC

Parker Excavation & Forestry, LLC, a self-certified small disadvantaged business based in Jacksonville, Oregon, provides heavy equipment deployment, water handling, and emergency response personnel for wildland fire suppression and all-hazard incident response as a prime contractor exclusively under total small business set-asides. The company competes entirely within set-aside vehicles — all 29 awards across the past several years carry Total Small Business or Competitive Small Business designations — and operates 100% as a prime, with no subcontract footprint.

Parker Excavation & Forestry's customer concentration is narrow and stable. The Department of Agriculture Forest Service dominates both by award count and by dollar value: the Fire and Aviation Management National Interagency Fire Center holds 12 awards worth $4.3 million combined potential value, while Region 6 (Pacific Northwest) holds 16 awards worth $1.8 million, accounting for 100% of recent work. A single $224 thousand delivery order from Forest Service Region 5 (Pacific Southwest) rounds out the portfolio. This concentration reflects the company's strategic positioning as a regional emergency-response vendor locked into the Forest Service's virtual incident procurement ecosystem.

Parker Excavation & Forestry holds a portfolio of 12 Indefinite Delivery Contracts awarded by the National Interagency Fire Center between June 2022 and August 2026, each valued at $250,000 to $500,000, all set aside for small business and running through 2029–2030. These vehicles cover heavy equipment task forces for Region 6 (awarded February 2026, $500,000 ceiling), water handling for Region 6 (awarded February 2026, $500,000 ceiling), miscellaneous heavy equipment for Region 6 (awarded February 2026, $500,000 ceiling), heavy equipment for West Zone Regions 5 and 6 (awarded February 2026, $500,000 ceiling), chippers for Regions 5 and 6 (awarded February 2026, $500,000 ceiling), and fallers for West Zone Regions 5 and 6 (awarded August 2026, $250,000 ceiling), all firm fixed price. Older vehicles — water handling for West Zone Regions 3, 5, 6, and 10 (awarded June 2022, expiring June 2025) — have aged out. Task orders against these IDVs have ranged from $20,631 to $281,927 and supply dozers, excavators, water tenders, chippers, and trained incident crews.

Activity shows sustained growth. The vendor received one award in 2022, eight in 2024, nine in 2025, and eleven in 2026 — a 1,000% increase over four years. Recent delivery orders from August 2026 include a $22,500 order (Region 6, emergency fire suppression), a $37,916 order (Region 6, emergency fire suppression), a $116,378 order (Sandy, Oregon; critical emergency response), and an $83,310 order (Region 6, fire suppression), all for immediate deployment. Combined potential value across all 29 awards stands at $6.3 million, with $2.1 million obligated to date (33% invoiced). Parker Excavation & Forestry operates exclusively under NAICS 242210 (Support Activities for Forestry) and PSC category Natural Resources/Conservation—Forest-Range Fire Suppression/Presuppression. The company has been registered in SAM.gov since January 2019, establishing continuity as a trusted federal fire-response resource across the western Forest Service regions.
