Bar Seven A Companies, Inc.

Bar Seven A Companies, Inc., a DOT-certified disadvantaged business enterprise based in Redmond, Oregon, provides heavy equipment and operator services for wildfire suppression, presuppression, and forest management to the Department of Agriculture Forest Service and Department of the Interior as a small-business prime contractor competing entirely under set-asides and full-and-open procurements. The company is a for-profit Subchapter S corporation structured as a small business, with a portfolio concentrated heavily on natural resources and conservation work (NAICS 238910, Support Activities for Forestry; PSC E035, Natural Resources/Conservation—Forest-Range Fire Suppression/Presuppression).

Bar Seven A's customer footprint is dominated by the Forest Service Pacific Northwest Region, which accounts for 29 awards and $51 million of the vendor's $52.5 million combined potential value across 45 prime awards—89% of total awards by count. The remaining active customer agencies are the Forest Service Fire and Aviation Management National Interagency Fire Center (6 awards, $1 million), the Interior Bureau of Land Management Idaho Region (2 awards, $47 thousand), and minor activity with the Forest Service Redmond Air Center and generic Forest Service accounts. The vendor operates entirely as a prime; no sub-award footprint is present in the source data.

Bar Seven A holds three major parent vehicles: a $50 million single-award Blanket Purchase Agreement with the Forest Service Pacific Northwest Region for forest management and stewardship services in Oregon and Washington through October 2032 (awarded April 7, 2023); a $500 thousand multiple-award Indefinite Delivery Contract issued by the National Interagency Fire Center for heavy equipment (dozers, excavators, dump trucks, and operator support) across West Zone Regions 5 and 6 through June 2028, held under total small business set-aside (awarded February 6, 2026); and a $250 thousand multiple-award IDC also from the National Interagency Fire Center under total small business set-aside through June 2028 (awarded June 9, 2023). Recent task orders under these vehicles include a $28,600 delivery order from the Forest Service Pacific Northwest Region on July 27, 2026 for heavy equipment and operator services under total small business set-aside; a $49,600 delivery order from the same region on August 13, 2023; and smaller May 2026 delivery orders valued at $6,200 and $1,550 from the Forest Service Pacific Northwest Region, also under total small business set-aside. Non-set-aside work includes a $34,100 purchase order from the Forest Service Idaho Region on June 1, 2025 for a Type 2 dozer and a $12,462 purchase order for a Type 3 dozer.

Activity across the past five years has been uneven—four awards in 2021, declining to two in 2022 and three in 2023, with a two-year gap before two awards in 2025 and a spike to five in 2026. Combined dollars obligated stand at $1.2 million against $52.5 million in combined potential value, reflecting the inherent gap between IDV ceilings and actual task-order draws. Bar Seven A operates with minimal sub-engagement and competes predominantly on small-business set-asides when available and full-and-open competitive procurements with the Forest Service and allied federal natural-resources agencies across the Pacific Northwest and western regions.
