Roger Chamberlin

Roger Chamberlin, doing business as Chamberlin Construction, is a sole proprietorship based in Jordan, Montana, that supplies heavy equipment and specialized personnel for wildfire suppression, prescribed burning, and fire management operations to federal land agencies as a prime contractor under total small business set-asides. The vendor operates exclusively as a prime (100% of recent awards) and competes under small-business set-asides across all named work.

Chamberlin Construction's capability portfolio centers on equipment provision and managed labor for fire suppression and prescribed burning. The vendor supplies heavy equipment including feller bunchers, mulcher/masticators, road graders, skidders, dozers, excavators, and tractor plows, along with managed, supervised, trained, and certified personnel to operate and maintain the equipment. Work encompasses fire suppression, prevention, and related emergency response activities across multiple geographic regions, with resource availability up to 16 hours per day and contractor responsibility for all equipment, materials, supplies, transportation, and lodging. Representative work includes four multiple-award indefinite delivery contracts awarded by the National Interagency Fire Center on firm fixed price terms: two contracts awarded February 6, 2026 (each with a $250,000 ceiling and performance periods through June 2028 and May 2029, respectively), one awarded May 14, 2024 ($250,000 ceiling, performance through May 2029), and one awarded June 4, 2023 ($250,000 ceiling, performance through June 2028).

Customer concentration is narrow and regional. The Department of Agriculture Forest Service Fire and Aviation Management National Interagency Fire Center accounts for 4 awards carrying $1 million in combined potential value; the Department of the Interior Bureau of Land Management holds 4 awards; and two regional Forest Service and BLM components complete the named agency set. All four current IDVs sit with the National Interagency Fire Center under the Virtual Incident Procurement system as multiple-award Incident Blanket Purchase Agreements. Recent activity is episodic — two awards in 2026, one in 2024, one in 2023, with prior awards dating to 2011 and earlier — and combined potential value across all twenty prime awards totals $1.2 million, with $323 thousand obligated to date (26% utilization). The vendor does not hold positions on government-wide vehicles or agency-wide IDIQs outside the NIFC VIPR I-BPA framework.
