Baldwin Forestry, LLC

Baldwin Forestry, LLC, a self-certified small disadvantaged business sole proprietorship based in Cuthbert, Georgia, operates exclusively as a prime contractor delivering forestry management, heavy equipment provisioning, water handling services, fuels reduction, reforestation, habitat restoration, and wildland fire response to the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service across multiple regions. The vendor competes predominantly under total small business set-asides and carries no subcontract footprint; all work is performed in-house with firm fixed-price delivery orders and indefinite delivery contracts.

Baldwin Forestry's customer concentration is heavily concentrated in the Forest Service. The top five funding entities account for 97% of recent awards and cover essentially the entire portfolio: Forest Service Region 8 (Southern Region) leads with 44 awards worth $3.1 million combined potential value, followed by the National Interagency Fire Center with 9 awards valued at $2.3 million, Forest Service Region 5 (Pacific Southwest) with 6 awards at $325 thousand, Forest Service Region 3 (Southwestern) with 5 awards at $131 thousand, and the Forest Service national office with 3 awards at $77 thousand. The rankings are consistent across both award count and dollar value, with Region 8 anchoring the business. Baldwin Forestry operates under NAICS 238910 (Support Activities for Forestry) across 68 of 69 awards, with PSC coding concentrated on forest-range fire suppression and presuppression.

Baldwin Forestry's vehicle portfolio centers on five active National Interagency Fire Center indefinite delivery contracts and multiple Forest Service regional IDCs, all structured as total small business set-asides with firm fixed pricing and ceilings ranging from $250 thousand to $500 thousand. The top vehicle by task-order volume is Indefinite Delivery Contract 1202SB23T7205, which carries 19 task orders worth $972 thousand combined potential value, followed by IDC 1202SB22T7191 with 18 task orders at $1 million. Recent representative work includes a $241 thousand Region 8 delivery order (April 22, 2026) for forestry management and wildland fire response in Tallahassee, Florida; a $72 thousand Region 8 delivery order (April 8, 2026) for forestry services in Asheville, North Carolina; and a $303 thousand Region 8 delivery order (March 2, 2025) for comprehensive forestry management, equipment services, and emergency incident response. Baldwin Forestry holds concurrent fire-center IDCs awarded February 6, 2026 covering heavy equipment and water handling for Regions 3 and 8 through May 2030, each with $250 thousand to $500 thousand ceilings, plus a water-handling IDC from the Forest Service itself (May 6, 2025) also valued at $250 thousand through May 2030.

Activity shows a recent surge, climbing from 14 awards in 2022 to 21 awards in 2026 year-to-date, though 2024 and 2025 saw lower volumes at 6 and 3 awards respectively. The vendor has generated 69 total awards since November 2016, with combined potential value of $6 million and $2.6 million obligated (44% realization rate). The high obligation-to-potential ratio suggests heavy year-to-date draw in 2026. Baldwin Forestry's customer concentration in a single agency (Forest Service across all regions) and near-term IDC completion windows (several contracts running through May 2028 and 2030) create significant recompete visibility within the next 24 to 36 months, particularly for the VIPR Incident Blanket Purchase Agreements that structure the water-handling and heavy-equipment work.
