Black Fox Timber Management Group, Inc.

Black Fox Timber Management Group, Inc., a HUBZone-certified small disadvantaged business based in McCloud, California, delivers forestry surveys, stand examinations, timber cruising, and natural resource management services to federal land-management agencies as a prime contractor under set-aside vehicles and full-and-open awards. The company is a for-profit Subchapter S corporation operating as a self-certified small disadvantaged business with SBA HUBZone certification, and competes predominantly under HUBZone sole-source and total small business set-asides across its federal footprint.

Black Fox's customer concentration is heavily weighted toward two federal agencies. The top five customers by award count represent 90% of awards: the Department of Agriculture Forest Service Pacific Southwest Region (18 awards, $8.8 million combined potential value) and the Department of the Interior Bureau of Land Management Oregon-Washington Region (18 awards, $2.5 million combined potential value), followed by the Department of Agriculture National Resources Conservation Service Western Region (13 awards, $778 thousand), with the Department of Agriculture Forest Service Pacific Northwest Region and the Department of Justice offices placing occasional work. However, the top customers by potential value reveal a structural shift: the Department of Agriculture Forest Service Washington Office Acquisitions anchors the portfolio with a single $50 million Land Management Integrated Resources National Blanket Purchase Agreement (LMIR) effective through March 6, 2033, which alone represents 80% of combined potential value across all awards. Black Fox also holds a $7.5 million single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract with the Forest Service Pacific Southwest Region through June 30, 2028 and a $654,450 IDC with the BLM Oregon-Washington Region (expiring September 13, 2026). Recent named work includes a $312,007 task order for timber sale preparation and seral phase forestry work under LMIR with the Forest Service Pacific Southwest Region (October 2025), a $166,970 HUBZone sole-source purchase order for stand examinations at Klamath Falls with BLM (September 2024), and a $522,836 time-and-materials expert witness contract with the Department of Justice Environment and Natural Resources Division (June 2024).

Activity has moderated in recent years—two awards in 2022, five in 2023, three in 2024, three in 2025, and two in 2026 year-to-date—with only $479 thousand in combined potential value reaching ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, creating minimal near-term recompete exposure. The company performs work in California and Oregon, with primary operational footprint in the Pacific Southwest and Oregon-Washington regions. Black Fox's capability portfolio spans support activities for forestry (54 awards in NAICS 113110), natural resources and conservation work including stand monitoring, vegetation surveys, tree thinning, and biomass assessments (28 awards under the "Other Forest/Range Improvements" PSC), and occasional expert witness and litigation consulting services for DOJ (4 awards). The NRCS California Forestry Assistance vehicle carries 12 task orders ($278 thousand), and several smaller IDCs distribute the remaining work. All 59 awards in the portfolio are prime awards with no subcontract footprint.
