Western Heavy Haul, Inc.

Western Heavy Haul, Inc., a small business prime contractor based in Prineville, Oregon, provides wildfire incident support freight transportation services exclusively to the Department of Agriculture Forest Service through a single-award blanket purchase agreement and subordinate task orders, competing entirely under total small business set-asides. The company is a for-profit Subchapter S Corporation that operates as a 100% prime contractor with no subcontract footprint across its 49 federal awards spanning the past two decades.

Western Heavy Haul's capability portfolio centers narrowly on per-mile freight transportation for wildland firefighting logistics. The company holds a $7.5 million National Tier 3 Incident Support Freight BPA awarded by the National Interagency Fire Center on March 8, 2022, running through December 31, 2026, under which it functions as the exclusive transportation provider. Four task orders have been issued against this vehicle since award: a $292,511 call dated April 21, 2022 (government trailers at $6.30 per mile); a $529,678 call dated May 22, 2023 ($6.70 per mile); a $581,501 call dated April 4, 2024 ($5.20 per mile); and a $317,024 call dated March 5, 2025 ($5.10 per mile). A fifth call for $200,000 was placed on March 5, 2026 at $5.70 per mile. Western Heavy Haul also operates under an indefinite delivery contract (1204H118T5007) supporting the Forest Service's R6-Pacific Northwest Region with 26 task orders valued at $581 thousand combined, primarily for local freight hauls and equipment transport across Oregon ranger districts. Concrete work includes a $9,000 purchase order from Region 6 in November 2023 for transporting six CONEX boxes from Sisters to Lakeview, Oregon, a $102,900 purchase order in September 2022 for two dump trucks, and a $7,500 forklift services contract in July 2022.

Customer concentration is extreme. The National Interagency Fire Center accounts for 7 awards and $9.4 million (89% of combined potential value); the Forest Service's R6-Pacific Northwest Region holds 35 awards totaling $974 thousand; the Forest Service Washington Office Acquisitions accounts for 5 awards and $41 thousand; and the Bureau of Land Management Oregon-Washington has placed 1 award for $4 thousand. These four agencies represent 98% of awards and 99% of combined potential value. Activity has declined substantially — four awards in 2022, two in 2023, and one each in 2024, 2025, and 2026. Two awards carrying $517 thousand in combined potential value reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, creating modest recompete exposure. The NAICS profile is dominated by General Freight Trucking, Long-Distance, Truckload (30 awards), with secondary exposure to Support Activities for Forestry (9 awards) and General Freight Trucking, Local (7 awards).
