Stettler And Sons LLC

Stettler And Sons LLC, a self-certified small disadvantaged business based in Deary, Idaho, operates exclusively as a prime contractor supplying heavy equipment and certified operators for wildland fire suppression and forest management to the U.S. Forest Service and National Interagency Fire Center under Total Small Business set-asides. The sole proprietorship holds no subcontract footprint and competes entirely within set-aside vehicles across all 16 awards in the source data.

Stettler And Sons provides feller bunchers, mulcher/masticators, road graders, skidders, water handling equipment, and trained personnel to support fire suppression, all-hazard incidents, and prescribed project work. Representative prime awards include a $40,000 delivery order from the Forest Service Northern Region (July 2026) for heavy equipment and operators in wildland fire suppression, a $24,000 delivery order from the Forest Service Northern Region (August 2025) for similar services in Dalton Gardens, Idaho, and a $19,000 delivery order from the Forest Service Region 6–Pacific Northwest Region (August 2026) for equipment and operators in Wenatchee, Washington. All work falls under NAICS 561730 (Support Activities for Forestry) and PSC R999 (Natural Resources/Conservation–Forest-Range Fire Suppression/Presuppression).

Customer concentration is complete within the Department of Agriculture Forest Service ecosystem. The National Interagency Fire Center anchors the footprint with 7 awards totaling $2.3 million in combined potential value, while the Forest Service Region 1–Northern Region accounts for 6 awards worth $138 thousand. Regional Forest Service offices (Region 6–Pacific Northwest and undesignated regions) round out the remaining two awards.

Stettler And Sons holds six indefinite delivery contracts under the Virtual Incident Procurement (VIPR) system, all awarded by the National Interagency Fire Center or Forest Service regional offices: three $250,000 IDCs (water handling for East Zone Regions 1, 2, 4, and 9 expiring May 30, 2030; miscellaneous heavy equipment for East Zone Regions 1, 2, and 4 expiring May 14, 2029; and heavy equipment with water capabilities for Regions 1, 2, 4, and 9 expiring May 23, 2025) and two additional $500,000 IDCs (water handling for East Zone Regions 1, 2, 4, and 9 expiring May 30, 2030, and miscellaneous heavy equipment for East Zone Regions 1, 2, and 4 expiring May 14, 2029), all Total Small Business set-asides. Five task orders totaling $99 thousand have been issued against one vehicle, and three orders worth $55 thousand against another.

Award velocity has accelerated from a low of one in 2023 to six in 2026. Combined potential value across all awards reaches $2.4 million, though only $173 thousand (7% of potential value) has been obligated, reflecting the on-demand structure of VIPR dispatch. No subcontract relationships exist, and the vendor operates as a 100% prime contractor.
