R & L Excavating Inc.

R & L Excavating Inc., doing business as Ray Launder, is a for-profit corporate entity located in Sweet Home, Oregon, registered in SAM.gov since April 2020. The company specializes in providing excavation services, earthmoving work, and heavy equipment support primarily to the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Forest Service Pacific Northwest Region. While limited background information is available, the company appears to be a small business focused on serving natural resource management and land stewardship programs through specialized equipment and skilled labor.

The company has consistently been awarded federal contracts, predominantly from the USDA Forest Service Pacific Northwest Region (Region 6), for excavation and related services. These contracts have included vegetation management, infrastructure projects, and land conservation efforts across Oregon. The delivery orders range from $6,600 to $252,030, with work primarily concentrated in locations like Springfield and Roseburg, Oregon. All of the company's recent federal contract awards have been firm fixed price delivery orders without specific set-aside designations, demonstrating R & L Excavating's competitive positioning in providing direct services to federal land management agencies.

R & L Excavating holds three key Indefinite Delivery Contracts (IDVs) with the USDA Forest Service, each with a potential value of $250,000. These IDVs cover miscellaneous heavy equipment for wildland fire suppression, all-hazard incident response, and prescribed project work in the Pacific Northwest Region. Specifically, the IDVs include a contract for miscellaneous heavy equipment, another for water handling services across Regions 3, 5, 6, and 10, and a third for heavy equipment resources in the Pacific Northwest Region. These contracts are set aside for small businesses and have performance periods extending through 2025 and 2029, indicating the company's ongoing capacity to support federal emergency response and resource management operations.
