Grant Luke Yates, doing business as Iron Hog Machinery, is a sole proprietorship registered with the U.S. federal government as a self-certified small disadvantaged business. Based in Willows, California, Iron Hog Machinery specializes in providing heavy equipment and related services to support wildland fire suppression, all-hazard incidents, and prescribed project work.

Iron Hog Machinery has been awarded federal contracts by the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service, specifically the Pacific Southwest Region (Region 5). The most recent contract award, dated August 16, 2023, was a firm fixed price delivery order valued at $63,000. This order, associated with the Forest Service's Region 5 Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) multiple award contract vehicle, required Yates to provide unspecified products or services in support of the Forest Service's mission in Willows, California from August 16th through August 30th, 2023. While the specific details of the goods or services provided under this contract were not disclosed, it is likely related to the company's expertise in heavy equipment operations for fire suppression and related activities.

Grant Luke Yates holds two significant federal contract IDVs. The first is an Indefinite Delivery Contract (IDC) awarded by the USDA Forest Service Region 5, with a ceiling value of $250,000 and a performance period from June 13, 2024 to June 13, 2029. This multiple-award, firm-fixed price vehicle is set aside for small businesses and aims to establish Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) Blanket Purchase Agreements (BPAs) for miscellaneous heavy equipment such as feller bunchers, mulchers, masticators, road graders, and skidders. The second IDV, also awarded by the USDA Forest Service, is specifically for heavy equipment in the West Zone Regions 5 and 6. This contract, with a ceiling value of $250,000 and a performance period until June 11, 2028, is designed to create a pre-competed pool of vetted small business vendors capable of rapidly deploying equipment and personnel for fire suppression and all-hazard incidents. Both IDVs underscore Iron Hog Machinery's capability to provide critical heavy equipment support for the Forest Service's emergency response and land management operations across the western United States.
