West Lands Contracting, Inc.

West Lands Contracting, Inc., a Grants Pass, Oregon-based small business, delivers heavy equipment and specialized services for wildland fire management, vegetation management, and emergency response operations to the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service as a prime contractor across 100% of its federal work. The company is a for-profit Subchapter S corporation and self-certified small disadvantaged business that competes predominantly under total small business set-asides on indefinite delivery contracts and blanket purchase agreements issued by the National Interagency Fire Center and Forest Service Region 6 (Pacific Northwest Region).

West Lands' capability portfolio centers on deployment of heavy equipment — dozers, excavators, water handling systems — along with trained personnel, transportation, lodging, and incident management support for fire suppression and all-hazard response. Recent representative awards include a $115,862 firm fixed-price delivery order from Forest Service Region 6 on August 8, 2026 (completion September 14, 2026), a $250,022 delivery order on June 17, 2026, and a $235,600 delivery order on July 1, 2025, all performance-based in Medford, Oregon under regional IDIQs. The company also holds a $500,000 multiple-award IDIQ for heavy equipment in West Zone Regions 5 and 6, awarded by the National Interagency Fire Center on February 6, 2026 with performance through June 11, 2028.

Customer concentration is extreme and non-diversified. The Department of Agriculture Forest Service R6-Pacific Northwest Region accounts for 45 of 52 awards (100% coverage) with $3.2 million in combined potential value. The National Interagency Fire Center contributes 5 awards totaling $1.1 million. The Forest Service broadly accounts for all work; West Lands has no other customer agencies in the source data. The vendor operates across three parent vehicles: a $736 thousand blanket purchase agreement (18 task orders), a $1.1 million IDIQ (11 task orders), and a $438 thousand IDIQ (9 task orders), representing rapid-response contracting for seasonal fire operations and land management across the Pacific Northwest.

Activity has been modest and volatile. The vendor received four awards in 2022, four in 2023, one in 2024, five in 2025, and four through August 2026. Combined potential value across all 52 awards is $4.4 million, with $2.6 million (59%) obligated to date. West Lands holds no subcontract awards and operates exclusively as a prime contractor under Forest Service regional indefinite delivery vehicles and small business set-asides. The firm has been registered in SAM.gov since 2011, anchoring a fifteen-year relationship with Pacific Northwest Region fire management and forest stewardship operations.
