Forestry and Logging

The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code 113 encompasses Forestry and Logging, a sector focused on the cultivation, management, and harvesting of timber and forest-related resources. This classification includes activities such as timber production, seed collection, forest restoration, and the management of forest nurseries. Businesses in this category engage in various forest-related services, from planting and maintaining tree stands to harvesting and processing timber products for commercial and government use.

Federal contract awards under this NAICS code demonstrate a diverse range of timber and forest management projects primarily funded by agencies like the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Bureau of Land Management, Naval Facilities Engineering Command, and U.S. Forest Service. Typical contract values range from approximately $20,000 to $450,000, with performance periods spanning 1-5 years. Many awards are set aside for small businesses, particularly under the total small business designation. Common places of performance include military installations, national forests, and federal land management areas across states like Oregon, Indiana, Florida, and Virginia. Contractors are frequently required to provide services such as timber harvesting, seedling production, seed collection, and forest restoration.

Recent federal contract opportunities include solicitations for timber sales, seed collection, and forest management services. Key opportunities involve the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers seeking contractors to harvest standing timber at military installations, the Bureau of Land Management requesting seedling production for restoration projects, and the U.S. Forest Service soliciting services for pinecone collection and forest tree planting. Performance locations span multiple states, with most opportunities focusing on the Pacific Northwest, Southeast, and Mid-Atlantic regions. Typical requirements include providing specialized equipment, labor, transportation, and expertise in forest management techniques, with contractors often needing to comply with specific environmental and operational guidelines.
