Thompson Fencing & Excavation

Thompson Fencing & Excavation is a woman-owned small business that provides heavy equipment and associated services to support wildland fire management operations for the Department of Agriculture Forest Service. As a prime contractor, the company has received federal contract awards to furnish dozers, excavators, skidders, and other specialized equipment to aid in fire suppression and fuels reduction efforts across Forest Service regions.

Through prime contract awards and delivery orders issued under multiple award IDIQ vehicles, Thompson Fencing & Excavation has provided Type 3 dozers, feller bunchers, graders, and mulcher masticators to the Forest Service Fire and Aviation Management programs. The equipment has been used by the National Interagency Fire Center and regional units to support critical incident response capabilities for wildfires. Set-aside provisions ranging from HUBZone to service-disabled veteran owned small business have been applied to many of these awards. Thompson Fencing & Excavation has also partnered as a subcontractor to deliver heavy equipment transports and operators to augment federal firefighting resources. Total obligations across these awards are approximately $470,000 over the past five fiscal years.

Thompson Fencing & Excavation currently holds three active Indefinite Delivery Contracts with potential values up to $250,000 each for Regions 1, 2, 4 and 8. The IDCs were awarded through the Virtual Incident Procurement system to establish a dispatch priority list for heavy equipment and operators. Task orders issued against the vehicles have funded Type 3 dozers, excavators, skidders, and associated materials and services for incident support. The equipment will be used by the Forest Service and interagency partners to conduct fire suppression, fuels management, and emergency response operations across Northern U.S. Forest Service lands.
