Big Bear Logging & Fire Suppression LLC

Big Bear Logging & Fire Suppression LLC, doing business as Big Bear Logging, a woman-owned small business based in Coquille, Oregon, provides wildland fire suppression, forestry, and land management services to the federal government as a prime contractor, competing predominantly under total small business set-asides on indefinite delivery contracts and delivery orders issued by the USDA Forest Service.

Big Bear Logging's customer base is highly concentrated with the USDA Forest Service. The Department of Agriculture Forest Service, Region 6 (Pacific Northwest Region), accounts for 101 awards valued at $4.1 million combined potential value—80% of all prime work and 60% of total potential value. The National Interagency Fire Center, which coordinates multiagency wildland fire resources under the Forest Service's Fire and Aviation Management program, accounts for 13 additional awards valued at $2.2 million. The remaining customer exposure is minimal: the parent Forest Service organization holds 2 awards ($81 thousand), the Bureau of Land Management Oregon-Washington holds 1 award ($3 thousand), and the Occupational Safety and Health Review Commission holds 1 nominal award. Big Bear Logging has generated 125 prime awards since 2022, with recent activity tracking at 8 awards (2022), 3 awards (2023), 16 awards (2024), 5 awards (2025), and 6 awards (2026 year to date).

Big Bear Logging holds six active indefinite delivery contracts issued by the National Interagency Fire Center, all valued at $250,000 to $500,000 ceilings, all total small business set-asides, and all firm fixed-price. The largest is a $500,000 water-handling IDIQ (Region 6, Pacific Northwest Region) running through May 29, 2030. Two vehicle-with-driver BPAs carry $250,000 each (Regions 5 and 6 West Zone, active through May 10, 2029 and August 17, 2031 respectively). A third vehicle-with-driver BPA holds a $250,000 ceiling for Regions 5 and 6 (active through May 29, 2030). An earlier $250,000 water-handling IDIQ covering Regions 3, 5, 6, and 10 expired June 6, 2025. Delivery orders drawn against these vehicles range from under $3,000 to approximately $244,000 per order. Top parent vehicles by task-order count include BPA AG04H1B167496 (37 task orders, $939 thousand), IDC 1202SB22T7475 (23 task orders, $873 thousand), and IDC 1204H119T7141 (17 task orders, $529 thousand).

Big Bear Logging's scope is entirely concentrated in NAICS 541712 (Support Activities for Forestry), with 118 of 125 awards, and PSC Natural Resources/Conservation—Forest-Range Fire Suppression/Presuppression, with 120 awards. Equipment and personnel deployed include Type 3, 4, 5, and 6 fire engines; Support Water Tenders Types 1, 2, and 3; Tactical Water Tenders Types 1 and 2; ground crews; water-handling capabilities; and vehicle-and-driver logistics for wildland fire suppression and all-hazard incident response. Recent representative awards include a $244,093 delivery order to the Forest Service, Region 6, for wildland fire suppression and forestry services (July 21, 2026, small business set-aside); a $74,441 delivery order for the same agency (August 28, 2025, no set-aside); and a $52,694 delivery order (September 5, 2025, no set-aside). Combined potential value across all 125 awards totals $6.8 million, with $4.2 million obligated (61% realization rate). Big Bear Logging competes exclusively as a prime contractor and holds no subcontract awards in the source data. Recompete exposure in the next twenty-four months is embedded in the expiration schedules of the six active IDIQs, with the earliest and largest vehicle-with-driver BPA (Regions 5 and 6, $250,000 ceiling) reaching expiration on May 10, 2029.
