Birrueta Reforestation Inc.

Birrueta Reforestation Inc., a minority-owned, Hispanic American-owned small disadvantaged business based in Jefferson, Oregon, delivers wildland fire suppression, reforestation, and land management services to the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service and Department of the Interior as a prime contractor across 100% of its recent federal awards. Operating as a Subchapter S Corporation, Birrueta competes predominantly under total small business set-asides on indefinite-delivery contracts (IDCs) and delivery orders, with all 286 recent awards seated as prime positions generating $66.5 million in combined potential value.

Birrueta's capability footprint centers on Type 2 firefighter crews, tree planting, heavy equipment operation (chippers, masticators, feller bunchers, road graders, skidders), emergency incident response, and reforestation across wildfire-affected and conservation lands. Representative work includes a $390,630 delivery order from U.S. Forest Service Region 6 (Pacific Northwest) awarded August 12, 2026, for wildland fire and all-hazard incident response in Wenatchee, Washington through July 1, 2027; a $256,350 delivery order from the same region issued July 21, 2026, for incident response in Pendleton, Oregon; and a $513,101.96 delivery order from Region 6 issued August 7, 2024, for reforestation and firefighter crew services across the Pacific Northwest. Birrueta also holds a $37.75 million national Type 2 firefighter crews IDC with the National Interagency Fire Center, cited across multiple award summaries as anchoring the company's federal platform.

Customer concentration sits heavily with the Department of Agriculture Forest Service. The top five funding agencies account for 56% of awards by count, with USDA Forest Service R6–Pacific Northwest Region leading at 65 awards worth $12.5 million combined potential value, followed by the Department of the Interior Bureau of Land Management Oregon-Washington (54 awards, $3.2 million), and the Department of Agriculture Forest Service as a consolidated entity (15 awards, $39.1 million). By potential value, the unbroken Forest Service accounts for 90% of combined dollars across the portfolio—$39.1 million alone in the consolidated agency line, with R6 contributing $12.5 million and the National Interagency Fire Center adding $3.8 million across 12 awards. This concentration reflects Birrueta's core specialization in Forest Service wildland fire and reforestation operations.

Birrueta holds multiple small-business-set-aside IDCs with the National Interagency Fire Center running through 2028–2029: a $250,000 heavy equipment contract for the East Zone (Regions 1, 2, 4, and 9) awarded July 31, 2026; a $500,000 chipper contract for Regions 1, 2, and 4 awarded February 6, 2026; a $500,000 chipper contract for Regions 5 and 6 awarded February 6, 2026; and a $500,000 miscellaneous heavy equipment contract for Region 5 (Pacific Southwest) awarded February 6, 2026. The largest parent vehicle by task-order volume is Indefinite Delivery Contract 1202SC21T2404, which carries 38 task orders worth $6.9 million combined potential value, followed by IDC INL09PC00140 (22 task orders, $680 thousand) and IDC INL15PC00055 (20 task orders, $446 thousand). Work is performed across multiple domestic Forest Service regions—Regions 1, 3, 4, 5, and 6—with places of performance spanning Oregon, Washington, California, Arizona, New Mexico, Montana, and Idaho.

Activity has fluctuated across the past five years—19 awards in 2022, dropping to 7 in 2023, rebounding to 20 in 2024, then thinning to 2 in 2025 and 7 year-to-date in 2026. The compressed award count in 2025 signals variance in Forest Service delivery-order volumes rather than loss of platform; recent 2026 awards confirm ongoing operations. Recompete exposure is minimal: only 2 awards with ultimate completion dates in the next twenty-four months carry a combined potential value of $647 thousand. Birrueta's capability classification spans NAICS 561730 (Support Activities for Forestry)—which anchors 206 of its 286 awards—with secondary coding in landscaping services and forest nurseries. PSC coding tracks natural resources and conservation work: forest fire suppression (112 awards), land treatment practices (52 awards), and forest tree planting (30 awards).

Birrueta operates exclusively as a prime contractor with no subcontract footprint in the source data. The vendor's business model centers on direct performance of labor-intensive forestry and fire-suppression services, with equipment and crews positioned regionally for rapid Forest Service incident response. Obligated dollars total $20.8 million (31% of combined potential value), reflecting typical delivery-order execution and invoicing patterns on indefinite-delivery platforms where potential values exceed actual spend until task orders are exercised and completed.
