Winegar Contracting LLC

Winegar Contracting LLC, a self-certified small disadvantaged business based in Prairie City, Oregon, supplies heavy equipment and forestry support services to the U.S. Forest Service as a prime contractor under Total Small Business set-asides, with 100% of recent activity routed through federal purchase orders and indefinite-delivery contracts.

Winegar is a for-profit limited liability partnership structured as a small disadvantaged business. The vendor operates exclusively as a prime contractor; recent activity shows no subcontract footprint. Work centers on equipment procurement and field support for wildland fire response and timber management, with primary NAICS coding split between Support Activities for Forestry (seven awards) and Construction, Mining, and Forestry Machinery and Equipment Rental and Leasing (three awards). Corresponding PSC codes frame the work as Natural Resources/Conservation Forest-Range Fire Suppression/Presuppression (seven awards) and equipment lease or rental (three awards).

Customer concentration is singular: 100% of awards flow from the Department of Agriculture's Forest Service, split between the Pacific Northwest Region (Region 6) and the National Interagency Fire Center. Region 6 accounts for six awards with $1 million combined potential value, while the National Interagency Fire Center holds three awards with $750 thousand combined potential value. Recent representative work includes a $715 thousand Forest Service Region 6 purchase order (July 12, 2026) for log loader equipment and services at Olive Butte and Salmon locations in Oregon; a $146,895.83 purchase order (August 8, 2026) for a log loader (E417 Grasshopper) in Sandy, Oregon; and an $80,200 purchase order (August 5, 2026) for logging trucks and log loaders in Roseburg, Oregon. On the fire-center side, Winegar holds three Total Small Business indefinite-delivery contracts awarded in late July and early August 2026 — one for Heavy Equipment Task Force services, one for miscellaneous heavy equipment in Region 6 (with a $18,605 delivery order issued August 20, 2026), and one for heavy equipment in West Zone Regions 5 and 6. All three IDIQs carry $250 thousand ceilings and run through 2028 or 2030.

Activity is recent and concentrated: all ten awards in the source data fall within 2026 (July 12 through September 17), with $1.8 million combined potential value and $1.1 million already obligated. The vendor holds no government-wide vehicles, parent contract seats on multi-agency GWACs, or grant recipient awards. Competitive positioning is confined to Forest Service procurement in the Pacific Northwest, where set-aside status provides price and volume predictability but ties growth strictly to regional federal timber and fire-suppression spending.
