Baker Timber Products, Inc.

Baker Timber Products, Inc., based in Spearfish, South Dakota, operates as a small business prime contractor (100% of awards) delivering forest stewardship, road maintenance, vegetation management, and infrastructure services to the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service. The company competes full-and-open, with no set-aside designations on its largest prime awards, though it holds a $20 million total small business set-aside Indefinite Delivery Contract from USDA Forest Service Region 2 awarded in July 2025.

Baker Timber Products' customer footprint is heavily concentrated. The Department of Agriculture Forest Service Region 2—Rocky Mountain Region accounts for 57 of 83 total awards (69%) and $113.2 million of the combined $115.8 million potential value (98% of portfolio). The Occupational Safety and Health Review Commission, the broader Department of Agriculture Forest Service, and the Department of the Interior Bureau of Land Management National Office make up the remaining customer base, with minimal dollar exposure outside Region 2. This concentration reflects the company's core positioning as a regional service provider for Forest Service land management across Colorado, South Dakota, and Wyoming.

Baker Timber Products operates under two major indefinite delivery vehicles with the Forest Service. The $50 million Rocky Mountain Restoration Project (RMRP) Blanket Purchase Agreement, awarded in August 2022 and running through July 2032, covers timber harvesting, thinning, fuels reduction, and vegetation management; two task orders under this BPA carry combined value of approximately $2.5 million. The $20 million Region 2 Road Maintenance and Other Forest Maintenance/Support Services Indefinite Delivery Contract, awarded July 2025 as a single-award total small business set-aside, provides snow removal, surface maintenance, drainage structure reconditioning, roadway vegetation maintenance, sign maintenance, and aggregate supply. Representative prime work includes a $1.26 million South Stewardship Integrated Resource Service Contract (IRSC) call under the RMRP BPA (awarded August 2023, running through March 2030) for wildfire resilience and habitat improvement across Black Hills National Forest; a $1.24 million Artemis Stewardship IRSC call under the RMRP BPA (awarded August 2023, completing June 2030) for timber harvesting and land stewardship; and a $74,376 delivery order for 2026 Northern Hills Annual Road Maintenance under the July 2025 IDC (awarded April 2026, completing October 2026).

Activity has remained modest and flat over the past five years—two awards in 2022, four in 2023, one in 2024, two in 2025, and one in 2026—with only one award (combined potential value $74 thousand) facing completion in the next twenty-four months. The company's work spans two primary NAICS categories: Support Activities for Forestry (40 awards) and Highway, Street, and Bridge Construction (28 awards), with additional specialty trade and logging work. Top PSC categories center on tree thinning (19 awards), highway and road maintenance (18 awards), and forest and range improvements (16 awards).

SCI-reported invoiced revenue on federal service contracts above the $150,000 threshold totaled $533 thousand across FY2022–FY2024, with $152 thousand in FY2022 (0.1 FTEs) and $381 thousand in FY2023 (1.0 FTEs) and no reported invoicing in FY2024; SCI is a partial view covering only service contracts above the reporting threshold and excluding goods, products, and grant work. Government-paid rates on SCI-reportable prime contracts ran at a median of $575.36 per hour, with rates spanning from $259.38 at the 10th percentile to $891.33 at the 90th percentile. The vendor performs work entirely with its own delivery team—across SCI-reportable prime contracts, subcontractors account for 0% of total contractor hours—and operates exclusively as a prime, with no recorded sub-award activity in the source data.
