About this agency
The Department of Agriculture Forest Service Forest Products Laboratory is a civilian research and development facility that procures construction, materials testing, research services, and related support through federal contracts and grants. The Laboratory operates as a sub-agency within the Forest Service and funds work aligned with wood science, forest products innovation, and forestry infrastructure.
The Laboratory has awarded 1,716 federal contracts since December 2003, with combined potential value of $82.1 million and $77.6 million obligated. Recent contract volume has declined: 85 awards in 2022, 57 in 2023, 43 in 2024, 18 in 2025, and 25 year-to-date in 2026. The most recent award closed on October 20, 2026. The Laboratory transacts with 611 distinct prime contractors across its portfolio history. Contract competitive concentration is highly fragmented by both award count and potential value. Over the last five years, Nath & Associates PLLC leads by award count with 20 awards totaling $67 thousand in potential value, followed by Bell & Manning LLC (15 awards, $45 thousand) and Strang Inc. (7 awards, $518 thousand). By potential value, Huot Construction And Services, Inc. dominates with 3 awards valued at $4.8 million, and RB Construction Company holds $1.6 million across 3 awards. The remaining competitive field is heavily distributed across smaller contractors. The vast majority of contract awards carry no set-aside designation (88% of awards), with small-business set-asides constituting 8 percent of the portfolio and woman-owned small-business awards at 2 percent; service-disabled veteran-owned small-business, 8(a), and other socioeconomic designations comprise the remaining 2 percent combined.
The Laboratory has issued 24 federal grants since July 2013, obligating $7.7 million in federal dollars and $11.5 million when non-federal match is included. Grant volume is sporadic: 5 awards in 2019, 4 in 2020, 1 in 2021, 4 in 2022, and 1 in 2024; no grants were awarded in 2023 or 2025. The most recent grant award closed on June 17, 2024. Grant recipient concentration is highly concentrated, with the United States Endowment For Forestry And Communities, Inc. capturing 4 of the 5 recent awards ($4.5 million federal dollars) and the Board Of Regents Of The University Of Nebraska holding 1 award ($128 thousand). All grant awards are structured as Cooperative Agreements.
