Rich Rowe Trucking LLC

Rich Rowe Trucking LLC, a for-profit limited liability company based in Oregon, provides wildland fire suppression, prescribed burning, and hazard mitigation support services to the U.S. Forest Service as a prime contractor under small business set-asides and full-and-open competition. The company operates entirely as a prime across its recent federal footprint (100% of awards) with no subcontract work, competing predominantly under Total Small Business Set-Asides on the Forest Service's regional and national interagency fire vehicles.

Rich Rowe Trucking specializes in deploying personnel, equipment, and support services for fire management operations in the Pacific Northwest and western regions. Its capability portfolio centers on Type 2 Burn Bosses, hand crews, fire engines (Type 3 through 6), water tenders (support and tactical types), heavy equipment including dozers, and logistics support. Recent representative work includes a $83,200 delivery order from the U.S. Forest Service Region 6 (Pacific Northwest) on July 16, 2026, for prescribed burning and hazard mitigation at Pendleton, Oregon; a $100,000 delivery order from Region 6 on August 5, 2024, for wildland fire suppression services; and an $8,225 BPA call order from Region 6 on August 21, 2024, for prescribed burn services at Malheur National Forest.

Customer concentration is absolute: the Department of Agriculture Forest Service accounts for 100% of awards across two operational units. The Forest Service Region 6–Pacific Northwest Region holds 13 awards ($2.6 million combined potential value), while the Fire and Aviation Management National Interagency Fire Center holds 5 awards ($1.8 million combined potential value), spanning both regions and the west zone covering Regions 3, 5, 6, and 10.

Rich Rowe Trucking holds six parent indefinite delivery vehicles. The largest is a $2 million ten-year Blanket Purchase Agreement (awarded February 1, 2023, completion January 31, 2033) for prescribed burn and support services across the Malheur, Umatilla, and Wallowa-Whitman National Forests. Additional IDCs include a $500,000 multiple-award Indefinite Delivery Contract for miscellaneous heavy equipment in Region 6 (awarded February 6, 2026, completion May 28, 2029), a $500,000 contract for water handling equipment in Region 6 (awarded February 6, 2026, completion May 29, 2030), and a $250,000 water handling contract for the west zone (awarded June 9, 2022, completion June 6, 2025). Two newer $250,000 water handling and heavy equipment IDCs were awarded in May 2025 and May 2024, respectively.

Activity has accelerated sharply from one award in 2022 and one in 2023 to eight in 2024, followed by one in 2025 and five through August 2026. The combined potential value across all eighteen awards stands at $4.3 million, with $407 thousand obligated to date (9% of potential value), indicating early-stage drawdown on multi-year vehicles. Only one award faces ultimate completion in the next twenty-four months ($8 thousand potential value), leaving minimal recompete exposure in the near term and substantial multi-year contract stability through 2030.
