Peterson Diesel Repair LLC

Peterson Diesel Repair LLC, a self-certified small disadvantaged business based in Pendleton, Oregon, operates as a prime contractor delivering diesel repair services, heavy equipment rentals, and field mechanic support for wildland firefighting and all-hazard incident response across the Western United States, competing exclusively under total small business set-asides on its federal work.

The company serves two customer agencies within the Department of Agriculture: the Forest Service's Fire and Aviation Management National Interagency Fire Center (10 awards, $3.3 million combined potential value) and the Forest Service's Region 6 - Pacific Northwest Region (14 awards, $767 thousand combined potential value), representing 100% of recent awards. The National Interagency Fire Center anchors most of the company's potential value, while Region 6 accounts for the majority of award count. All work flows through the Virtual Incident Procurement (VIPR) system's Indefinite Delivery Contract vehicles: Peterson holds ten active IDCs valued at $250,000 to $500,000 each, covering mechanic services with service trucks, heavy equipment (dozers, excavators, water tenders), and miscellaneous equipment support across USDA Forest Service Regions 3, 5, and 6, with completion dates ranging through 2031. The top parent vehicles by task-order volume are IDC 12569R23T7833 (six task orders, $173 thousand), IDC 1204H124T7215 (three task orders, $232 thousand), and IDC 12569R25T7388 (two task orders, $223 thousand). Recent representative work includes a $162,856 delivery order awarded July 13, 2026, for diesel repair and heavy equipment support under Region 6 through August 21, 2026; a $106,700 delivery order issued July 30, 2026, for equipment rentals and mechanic support in Wenatchee, Washington; and an $80,500 delivery order awarded July 29, 2026, for wildland firefighting operations support also in Wenatchee.

Activity has accelerated sharply — one award in 2022 and two in 2023, rising to seven in 2024, then jumping to twelve awards in 2026 (as of September). The combined potential value across all 24 prime awards is $4 million, with $767 thousand obligated to date (19% of potential value). Work is performed in Baker City and Pendleton, Oregon, and Wenatchee, Washington, with resources deployed regionally to support fire suppression and emergency response across the Pacific Northwest and broader Western United States.
