Purcell Joseph

Purcell Joseph, a Montana-based sole proprietorship, provides vehicle-with-driver transportation services to the U.S. Forest Service as a prime contractor under Total Small Business set-asides and full-and-open competitions. The vendor holds an active Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) with the National Interagency Fire Center valued at $250,000 through July 2031 and competes predominantly under Total Small Business designations.

Purcell Joseph's capability footprint centers on ground transportation logistics, including wildfire suppression support and regional logistics operations. Representative recent work includes a $3,381.45 delivery order from GSA Region 1–Northern Region on July 31, 2026, for transportation services in Missoula, Montana, and a $2,332.95 delivery order from the same region on September 4, 2026, for vehicle-with-driver services in Hamilton, Montana, both firm fixed-price and completed within days of award. The vendor also held a $16,261.80 purchase order with GSA Region 1–Northern Region in August 2024 for transportation and pickup services at Sharrott Creek, Montana.

All eight awards in the source record are prime contracts or IDVs, with two customer agencies: the Department of Agriculture Forest Service R1–Northern Region (6 awards, $48,000 combined potential value) and the Department of Agriculture Forest Service Fire and Aviation Management National Interagency Fire Center (2 awards, $500,000 combined potential value). The vendor's portfolio concentration is 100% Forest Service, split between regional GSA procurement and NIFC-issued IDVs. The NIFC BPA is the largest vehicle position, with a $250,000 ceiling and two task orders issued to date; a secondary IDV under GSA placed two delivery orders valued at $6,000 combined.

Award activity has been episodic — one award each in 2017, 2023, and 2024, followed by four awards in 2026 — with a combined potential value of $548,000 across all eight awards. Only $48,000 has been obligated to date (9% of potential value), reflecting the short duration and payment-on-completion nature of regional transportation purchase orders. The vendor operates exclusively as a prime contractor with no subcontract footprint and no parent government-wide vehicles or schedule positions outside the NIFC BPA.
