Stapleton Timber & Excavation, Inc.

Stapleton Timber & Excavation, Inc., a small business based in Springfield, Oregon, operates as a prime contractor delivering heavy equipment, water-handling, and vehicle-procurement services to the U.S. Forest Service and the National Interagency Fire Center under total small business set-asides. The vendor competes exclusively under the total small business set-aside category across its federal footprint, with all seven recent awards (100% of the prime portfolio) designated as small-business-set-aside work.

All recent activity concentrates within the Department of Agriculture's Forest Service. The National Interagency Fire Center accounts for five awards carrying $1.3 million in combined potential value, while the Forest Service's Region 6—Pacific Northwest Region placed two awards worth $117 thousand. The two customer entities are operationally distinct — the National Interagency Fire Center held five indefinite-delivery contracts awarded in July and August 2026, while the Forest Service's regional office issued two delivery orders in the same window — but both report to USDA Agriculture and carry identical small-business-set-aside designations.

Stapleton holds five active IDIQs under the National Interagency Fire Center, all awarded between July 31 and August 18, 2026, each with a $250 thousand ceiling running through 2028–2031. The vehicle scope covers heavy equipment for West Zone regions 5 and 6 (award date July 31, 2026, completion August 1, 2028); miscellaneous heavy equipment for the Pacific Northwest region only (August 6, 2026, completion August 6, 2029); water handling for Region 6—Pacific Northwest Region (August 1, 2026, completion August 2, 2030); off-highway vehicles procurement (August 14, 2026, completion August 14, 2031); and vehicle with driver services for Regions 5 & 6 West Zone (August 18, 2026, completion August 18, 2031). All are firm fixed price, multiple-award vehicles. The Forest Service's two delivery orders, placed against unnamed parent vehicles, carried ceilings of $61,950 (August 13, 2026, completion September 2, 2026) and $54,860 (August 5, 2026, completion August 14, 2026).

Work is performed across the Pacific Northwest region, with specific locations cited as Vancouver, Washington and Wenatchee, Washington. Combined potential value across all awards stands at $1.4 million, with $117 thousand obligated to date (9% utilization). The vendor holds no subcontract positions and does not participate in government-wide vehicles, agency-wide IDIQs, or GSA vehicles. Activity is early-stage, with all seven awards clustering in a single month (July–August 2026) and representing the vendor's initial federal footprint in the available source data.
