Akre Logging LLC

Akre Logging LLC, a HUBZone-certified small business based in Priest River, Idaho, delivers forestry services and heavy equipment deployment to the U.S. Forest Service as a prime contractor exclusively, with all 137 recent awards held as a prime (0% sub-contracted work). The company specializes in logging, vegetation management, wildland fire prevention, fuels reduction, and emergency response support, supplying log loaders, forwarders, feller bunchers, excavators, dozers, logging trucks, and water tenders, along with trained personnel for fire suppression and land stewardship missions across federal lands in the Western United States.

Akre Logging competes under the total small business set-aside category on its majority of parent contract vehicles, particularly through the National Interagency Fire Center's Virtual Incident Procurement (VIPR) system Incident Blanket Purchase Agreements. The company holds 15 active multiple-award IDIQs with ceiling values ranging from $250 thousand to $500 thousand, all set aside for total small businesses, covering Heavy Equipment Task Force (HETF) services, water handling, miscellaneous heavy equipment, and mechanic support across U.S. Forest Service Regions 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, and 9. A single $640 thousand Service Contract Inventory record in FY2022 shows Akre Logging at $433.33/hour government-paid rates, though the vendor's award footprint is dominated by equipment procurement and short-duration delivery orders rather than SCI-reportable labor services.

Customer concentration is extreme and regionally focused. The top five customers account for 96% of combined potential value: the National Interagency Fire Center (25 awards, $5.4 million combined potential value) and Forest Service Region 1–Northern Region (82 awards, $4.8 million combined potential value) together represent 87 of 137 awards (64% of volume). Forest Service Region 4–Intermountain Region (11 awards, $3.4 million), Region 2–Rocky Mountain Region (4 awards, $446 thousand), and Region 3–Southwestern Region (2 awards, $248 thousand) complete the active set. The potential-value and award-count rankings diverge slightly: the National Interagency Fire Center anchors 36% of dollars across 18% of award count, reflecting larger, longer-term IDIQ ceilings, while Region 1 drives volume through numerous smaller delivery orders and purchase orders. Work is geographically distributed across the Western United States with primary performance locations in Dalton Gardens, Idaho; Libby, Montana; Wenatchee and Vancouver, Washington; Delta, Colorado; and Salmon, Idaho.

Activity has grown modestly and consistently. The vendor received 12 awards in 2022, 19 in 2023, 13 in 2024, 17 in 2025, and 19 through August 2026. The top parent vehicles are Indefinite Delivery Contracts tracked as 1202SB23T7298 (17 task orders, $736 thousand), 12034320T7058 (14 task orders, $547 thousand), and 1202SB24T7210 (11 task orders, $683 thousand), alongside Blanket Purchase Agreements 12034318T7066 (7 task orders, $183 thousand) and AG0343B177050 (6 task orders, $117 thousand). NAICS concentration sits with Support Activities for Forestry (125 awards) and Construction, Mining, and Forestry Machinery and Equipment Rental and Leasing (11 awards). Primary PSC alignment is Natural Resources/Conservation–Forest-Range Fire Suppression/Presuppression (110 awards). Firm fixed-price delivery orders and purchase orders predominate, with ultimate completion dates typically 30 to 90 days from award, indicating mobilization for seasonal fire suppression and fuels-reduction campaigns. The vendor operates as a sole proprietor of delivery capability—it does not subcontract work and has not appeared as a named subcontractor to other federal primes in the source data.
