Ted ROY Britt

Ted ROY Britt, a self-certified small disadvantaged business sole proprietorship based in Yakima, Washington, provides heavy equipment and related services for wildland fire suppression and prescribed burn operations to the U.S. Forest Service as a prime contractor exclusively under total small business set-asides. The vendor operates 100% as a prime, with no subcontract footprint, and competes across multiple regional Indefinite Delivery Contracts established by the National Interagency Fire Center through the Virtual Incident Procurement system.

The vendor's entire customer base is the Department of Agriculture, concentrated in USDA Forest Service Fire and Aviation Management operations. Eleven awards valued at $4 million come from the National Interagency Fire Center, eight awards valued at $1.1 million from USFS Region 6 – Pacific Northwest Region, and three awards valued at $605 thousand from USFS broadly. This geographic and functional concentration reflects the vendor's specialization: 21 of 22 awards fall under NAICS 561730 (Support Activities for Forestry) and PSC Natural Resources/Conservation – Forest-Range Fire Suppression/Presuppression; one award is categorized as construction and mining equipment rental.

Ted ROY Britt holds twelve IDIQs with the National Interagency Fire Center, all multiple-award total small business set-asides on firm fixed-price terms, ranging from $250 thousand to $500 thousand in ceiling value and running through 2029–2030. These vehicles establish Incident Blanket Purchase Agreements for heavy equipment taskforce resources, heavy equipment with water, and miscellaneous heavy equipment across Forest Service Regions 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 9, with dispatch assignments through VIPR to contractors positioned nearest to incident locations. Representative delivery orders include a $117 thousand order placed August 25, 2026 for heavy equipment supporting wildland fire suppression in Baker City, Oregon; a $201 thousand order dated August 16, 2026 for equipment in Pendleton, Oregon; and a $140.4 thousand order dated August 1, 2026, also in Pendleton, with completion dates in August and September 2026.

Activity accelerated sharply in 2026 with twelve awards year-to-date, compared to four awards in 2024 and four in 2025, reflecting the vendor's seasonal ordering pattern tied to wildfire seasons and the multiple-award vehicle structure. Combined potential value across all twenty-two awards is $5.7 million, with $1.7 million obligated (29% of potential). Place of performance concentrates in the Pacific Northwest region, including Pendleton and Baker City, Oregon and Yakima, Washington, aligned with regional dispatch centers and the vendor's equipment positioning for rapid incident response.
