VMS Construction

VMS Construction is a sole proprietorship based in Lompoc, California, registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) since December 2006. The company specializes in providing heavy equipment and vehicle support primarily for wildfire incident response and all-hazard emergency management. As a small business, VMS Construction has positioned itself as a critical vendor for federal agencies, particularly within the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Forest Service, focusing on equipment rental, procurement, and support for emergency response operations.

Through its federal contract awards, VMS Construction has consistently provided specialized heavy equipment and vehicles to support wildfire suppression efforts. The company has been awarded multiple purchase orders from the USDA Forest Service Pacific Southwest Region (Region 5) and the National Interagency Fire Center, including specific contracts for equipment like Freightliner vehicles, road graders, and various equipment rentals. These contracts, ranging from $33,091 to $64,800, have been non-set-aside acquisitions supporting fire management and incident response. The contracts have involved providing specific vehicles and equipment for incidents such as the Lake Fire, demonstrating the company's capability to quickly mobilize resources for emergency management needs.

VMS Construction holds two critical Indefinite Delivery Contracts (IDVs) through the Virtual Incident Procurement (VIPR) system, both set aside for small businesses. The first IDV, valued at $250,000, covers miscellaneous heavy equipment for USDA Forest Service Regions 3, 5, and 6, with a performance period from June 2021 to June 2024. The second IDV, also valued at $250,000, extends from June 2024 to June 2029, continuing to support wildfire suppression and all-hazard incident response. These contracts allow for task orders involving equipment such as feller bunchers, mulchers, masticators, road graders, and skidders, with resources to be deployed on an as-needed basis. The IDVs emphasize the company's role in providing comprehensive equipment solutions for federal land management and emergency response agencies.
