Rich Thompson Trucking, Inc.

Rich Thompson Trucking, Inc., a Jerome, Idaho-based for-profit Subchapter S corporation, provides specialized live fish transportation and truck rental services to the Department of the Interior's Fish and Wildlife Service as a prime contractor on full-and-open purchase orders with no set-aside designation. The vendor operates exclusively in the federal space without subcontract relationships, competing on a non-set-aside basis across fourteen prime awards totaling $615 thousand in combined potential value since 2002.

Rich Thompson Trucking's customer footprint is entirely concentrated within a single federal agency. The Department of the Interior Fish and Wildlife Service Region 1 accounts for nine awards worth $520 thousand, covering specialized live fish trucking operations and truck rental support at hatcheries in the Pacific Northwest and Northern California. The parent entity, Department of the Interior Fish and Wildlife Service, anchors three additional awards totaling $47 thousand, bringing DOI to 86% of the vendor's recent award count and 92% of combined potential value. Representative work includes a $46,914 sole-source purchase order awarded April 24, 2024, for four diesel-powered semi-tractors with drivers to transport fall run Chinook salmon from Coleman National Fish Hatchery in Anderson, California to San Rafael, California; a $19,700 purchase order from September 8, 2026, for fish transportation services at Leavenworth National Fish Hatchery in Leavenworth, Washington; and a $16,320 truck rental for fish transport at Little White Salmon National Fish Hatchery in Bingen, Washington awarded June 3, 2026. The vendor's NAICS profile centers on Specialized Freight (except Used Goods) Trucking, Local (ten awards), with ancillary General Freight Trucking and Facilities Support Services work. Activity is sparse and episodic — one award in 2016, one in 2018, one in 2019, one in 2024, and two in 2026 — with only one award ($20 thousand) reaching ultimate completion in the next twenty-four months.
