Sterling Diesel And AG LLC

Sterling Diesel And AG LLC, a for-profit limited liability company and small business based in Wapato, Washington, provides rapid-response mechanical services and equipment maintenance for U.S. Forest Service emergency response and fire suppression operations as a prime contractor under small business set-asides. The company operates exclusively through delivery orders placed against two Indefinite Delivery Contracts (one awarded by the National Interagency Fire Center on February 6, 2026, valued at $250 thousand with ultimate completion June 4, 2028; a second awarded by NIFC on June 4, 2023, also valued at $250 thousand through the same date), both structured as Incident Blanket Purchase Agreements and designated total small business set-asides for mechanic services with service trucks across Forest Service Regions 5 and 6 in the Pacific Northwest.

Sterling's nine awards since mid-2023 total $787 thousand in combined potential value, with $287 thousand obligated (37% of ceiling). Customer concentration is monolithic: all awards fund Department of Agriculture Forest Service operations, split between the National Interagency Fire Center's two IDCs ($500 thousand combined potential across both vehicles) and Forest Service Region 6 (Pacific Northwest Region) delivery orders ($215 thousand across five awards). Representative delivery orders include a $99,360.78 firm fixed-price call issued July 30, 2026, for mechanical services and equipment support with completion September 14, 2026, and a $69 thousand delivery order from September 17, 2025, placed against the NIFC IDC for emergency response support in Wenatchee, Washington. The company's capability footprint concentrates on field-deployable mechanic services with service trucks for fire suppression and all-hazard incident response, with work performed primarily in Pendleton, Oregon; Wenatchee, Washington; and Tumwater, Washington across the region.

Activity has remained steady at two to three awards per year from 2024 through 2026, with seven task orders flowing through the primary NIFC IDC vehicle. The company has no subcontract footprint and operates as a 100% prime vendor. Sterling's NAICS and PSC coding concentrates entirely on general automotive repair (NAICS) and natural resources/conservation forest-range fire suppression/presuppression (PSC), reflecting a tightly specialized capability set focused on emergency mechanics support rather than broader equipment rental or logistics services.
