Philip Hofbauer Trucking LLC

Philip Hofbauer Trucking LLC, a for-profit limited liability company based in Ukiah, Oregon, provides trucking and heavy equipment transportation services to the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service as a prime contractor exclusively under total small business set-asides. The vendor competes uniformly under the small business set-aside posture across its entire federal footprint.

The vendor's capability portfolio is narrowly focused on wildland fire suppression, incident response, and forestry operations logistics. Representative work includes a $354,812.50 delivery order from Forest Service Region 6 (Pacific Northwest Region) in July 2026 for equipment transportation to Fossil, Oregon, supporting fire suppression activities; a $349,002 delivery order from Forest Service Region 1 (Northern Region) in August 2023 for trucking services across Oregon and Montana; and a $238,500 delivery order from the Forest Service in July 2024 for transportation support in the Pacific Northwest and Northern Regions. Task orders are issued firm fixed-price against a portfolio of indefinite delivery contracts (IDCs) established through the Forest Service's Virtual Incident Procurement (VIPR) system. The work involves provision of heavy equipment with operators, materials, transportation, lodging, and trained personnel to support emergency response across multiple Forest Service regions.

Customer concentration is absolute: the Department of Agriculture Forest Service accounts for all 44 recent awards and the full $7.4 million combined potential value. The top customers by award count and potential value are the National Interagency Fire Center (13 awards, $4.5 million), the Forest Service general account (12 awards, $1.7 million), and Forest Service Region 6—Pacific Northwest (18 awards, $809 thousand). The split reflects two tiers of work: multi-region IDCs managed through the National Interagency Fire Center and direct task orders from regional Forest Service offices.

Philip Hofbauer Trucking LLC holds multiple total small business set-aside IDCs placed by the National Interagency Fire Center, each with ceilings of $250,000 to $500,000 and performance periods extending through 2028–2030. The top parent vehicle by task-order volume is IDC 1204H124T7219 with 19 task orders and $1.4 million combined potential value, followed by three additional regional and specialized heavy-equipment IDCs. The vendor maintains positions on regional variant IDVs covering HETF (Heavy Equipment Task Force) services, miscellaneous heavy equipment, and heavy equipment with water for fire suppression across Forest Service Regions 1, 3, 4, 5, and 6.

Activity has grown from eight awards in 2023 to seventeen in 2024, with fourteen awards issued in 2026 year-to-date as of September. The vendor reports $2.9 million in obligated funding across the portfolio (39% of $7.4 million potential value), consistent with the episodic nature of fire-season mobilizations. No awards face completion within the next twenty-four months; recompete risk is low near-term, though the bulk of the IDC population matures in 2028–2030.

The vendor operates solely as a prime contractor; no subcontract work appears in the award record. All 44 awards are delivery orders or IDCs under the support activities for forestry NAICS code (44 awards) and the Natural Resources/Conservation—Forest-Range Fire Suppression PSC category (44 awards). Philip Hofbauer Trucking LLC does not hold seats on government-wide vehicles, GSA Schedules, or civilian-agency contract platforms; its federal footprint is restricted to the Forest Service's preseason incident-response infrastructure.
