AC Logging Inc.

AC Logging Inc., a Montana-based small business, provides heavy equipment and certified operators for wildland fire suppression and emergency response as a prime contractor exclusively on U.S. Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management delivery orders and indefinite delivery contracts, operating entirely under total small business set-asides.

AC Logging specializes in deploying specialized machinery—excavators, dozers, skidders, feller bunchers, mulchers, and water-equipped equipment such as skidgines and pumper cats—with trained, supervised, and certified operators to support federal fire suppression, all-hazard incident response, and prescribed project work. The company's recent awards cluster around Virtual Incident Procurement (VIPR) Incident Blanket Purchase Agreements issued by the National Interagency Fire Center and regional Forest Service offices. Representative work includes a $20,500 firm fixed-price delivery order from Forest Service Region 1 (Northern Region) in August 2026 for heavy equipment and operators supporting wildland fire suppression, a $62,508 purchase order from the Idaho Region in June 2025 for E-2 skidder supply and operator support under the VIPR Remington Fire Support initiative, and multiple delivery orders ranging from $4,000 to $43,540 issued through Region 1 between August 2025 and September 2025.

Customer concentration is near-complete: the Department of Agriculture Forest Service Fire and Aviation Management National Interagency Fire Center accounts for 20 awards and $4 million of the $5.1 million combined potential value, while Forest Service Region 1–Northern Region holds 16 awards and $1 million. The Department of Interior Bureau of Land Management Idaho Region represents one award for $63 thousand. AC Logging's parent vehicle footprint consists of nine VIPR I-BPAs and one BPA, each with $250,000 to $500,000 ceilings covering Forest Service Regions 1, 2, 4, and 9 through dates ranging from May 2025 to May 2030. The top vehicle by task-order count is Indefinite Delivery Contract 12034319T7172 with 7 task orders ($401 thousand combined potential value), followed by BPA AG0343B177184 with 5 task orders ($161 thousand).

Activity has accelerated sharply: one award each in 2022, 2023, and 2024 versus seven in 2025 and five year-to-date in 2026. AC Logging operates exclusively as a prime contractor with no subcontract activity. NAICS 541712 (Support Activities for Forestry) and PSC Natural Resources/Conservation–Forest-Range Fire Suppression/Presuppression code the work. Combined potential value across 39 awards totals $5.1 million, with $944 thousand obligated to date, indicating ongoing task-order execution against standing VIPR I-BPA vehicles.
