Aaron Downing Logging LLC

Aaron Downing Logging LLC is a limited liability company based in Orofino, Idaho, specializing in logging, timber harvesting, and forestry services. The company is registered in the System for Award Management (SAM.gov) and provides critical services to federal agencies, primarily the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service. As a for-profit organization, Aaron Downing Logging LLC has established itself as a key contractor supporting forest management, wildfire suppression, and natural resource programs across multiple western United States regions.

The company has been awarded numerous federal contract delivery orders and purchase orders, predominantly from the U.S. Forest Service across Regions 1 (Northern), 2 (Rocky Mountain), 3 (Southwestern), and 4 (Intermountain). These contracts consistently involve services such as timber harvesting, tree removal, mastication, transportation via log trucks, and equipment operations including feller bunchers and skidders. Contract values have ranged from $21,000 to $632,265.95, with work locations spanning Idaho, Oregon, and New Mexico. None of the contracts have been designated as small business set-asides, though the company has been awarded small business set-aside Indefinite Delivery Contracts (IDCs). The contracts primarily support forest management, wildfire suppression, and emergency incident response activities.

Aaron Downing Logging LLC holds four significant Indefinite Delivery Contracts (IDCs) with the National Interagency Fire Center and U.S. Forest Service, each valued at $250,000. These IDCs cover specific equipment and service categories, including chipper services, miscellaneous heavy equipment, and emergency response equipment for Regions 1, 2, 4, and 8. The contracts, awarded between 2021 and 2024, are set aside for small businesses and have performance periods extending to 2029. They enable the Forest Service to quickly procure specialized logging and forestry equipment such as feller bunchers, mulchers, masticators, road graders, and skidders for fire suppression, prescribed project work, and all-hazard incident response. These IDCs allow Aaron Downing Logging LLC to provide comprehensive equipment, materials, transportation, and trained personnel to support emergency and forest management needs across multiple states.
