AFS Forestry LLC

AFS Forestry LLC, a minority-owned, self-certified small disadvantaged business sole proprietorship based in Salem, Oregon, supplies National Type 2 Firefighter Crews for wildland fire suppression and all-hazards incident response to the USDA Forest Service as an exclusive prime contractor, operating across all six regional offices nationwide under a $127.5 million total small business set-aside indefinite delivery contract awarded by the National Interagency Fire Center.

AFS Forestry operates in the prime role only, with no subcontract footprint. The company's federal work concentrates entirely within the Forest Service, where it delivers specialized wildland firefighter crew deployment and supporting forest management services. Recent representative work includes a $228.3 thousand delivery order from Forest Service Region 6 (Pacific Northwest) for fire crew deployment in Sandy, Oregon (September 8, 2026), a $247.7 thousand order from Region 5 (Pacific Southwest) in Solvang, California (August 30, 2026), and a $276.7 thousand order from Region 4 (Intermountain) in Price, Utah (June 28, 2026). A significant portion of recent awards carry no set-aside designation despite the parent vehicle's total small business reserve, indicating straightforward delivery orders against an existing IDIQ. The company has issued approximately 80 task orders under its primary IDIQ totaling $12.2 million in combined potential value across the regional structure.

Customer concentration is extreme: a single customer dominates by dollar value. The National Interagency Fire Center accounts for 96% of the combined potential value across all awards ($127.5 million ceiling on the primary IDIQ). By award count, the concentration distributes across Forest Service regional offices—Region 3 (Southwestern), Region 1 (Northern), Region 5 (Pacific Southwest), Region 6 (Pacific Northwest), Region 2 (Rocky Mountain), and Region 4 (Intermountain)—with 77% of awards spanning the top five regional customers. The regional breakdown by dollars shows Region 3 and Region 5 leading at $3.4 million and $2.4 million, respectively, but these figures reflect task-order granularity rather than strategic focus; the primary vehicle's $127.5 million ceiling dominates strategic opportunity.

AFS Forestry's activity has grown sharply: two awards in 2022, eight in 2023, thirty-two in 2024, forty-two in 2025, and twenty-seven awards year-to-date in 2026. The growth trajectory tracks task-order velocity under the National Interagency Fire Center IDIQ rather than new vehicle acquisition. Twenty-seven awards (combined potential value $4.5 million) reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and face recompete risk. The parent IDIQ itself expires July 1, 2027—a critical recompete cliff for the vendor.

All 105 task orders against the primary vehicle carry the total small business set-aside designation; the remaining six awards in the portfolio distribute across non-set-aside delivery orders and purchase orders. The vendor's work footprint spans NAICS 541710 (Support Activities for Forestry) across 110 awards and PSC H299 (Natural Resources/Conservation—Forest-Range Fire Suppression/Presuppression) at scale. Place of performance covers all six Forest Service regions geographically, from Montana, Colorado, and Wyoming through New Mexico, Arizona, and California to Washington and Oregon, with sustained multi-region deployment throughout 2024–2026. The combined obligated dollars total $16.6 million (twelve percent of combined potential value), indicating task-order maturity on a vehicle structured for emergent demand and incident-driven crew deployment.
