Blackstone Forestry LLC

Blackstone Forestry LLC, a self-certified small disadvantaged business based in Omak, Washington, competes exclusively as a prime contractor delivering forestry services and specialized equipment rentals to federal land-management agencies under total small business set-aside and full-and-open delivery orders. The company operates across multiple USDA Forest Service regions and the National Interagency Fire Center, providing reforestation, habitat restoration, wildfire prevention and response, hazardous fuels reduction, water handling, chipper services, and vehicle-with-driver support for emergency response and prescribed fire operations.

Blackstone Forestry's customer base concentrates heavily on the USDA Forest Service. The Department of Agriculture Forest Service Region 6 (Pacific Northwest Region) accounts for 70 awards (58% of recent prime awards) with $3.9 million in combined potential value, commanding both award count and dollar concentration. The National Interagency Fire Center ranks second with 13 awards valued at $3.6 million, followed by regional Forest Service offices in Regions 5, 4, and 2, plus the broader Forest Service base. Together, the top five customer organizations represent 91% of recent awards and account for 94% of combined potential value. A secondary customer is the Bureau of Land Management Idaho Region, which placed eight purchase orders in June 2025 for engines totaling $281 thousand.

Blackstone Forestry holds a portfolio of eight Indefinite Delivery Contracts (IDCs) with the National Interagency Fire Center, all designated as total small business set-asides with ceiling values of $250,000 to $500,000 each and performance periods extending through 2030–2031. The largest parent vehicles are IDC 1202SB22T7528 (52 task orders, $2.5 million combined value), IDC 1204H125T7161 (21 task orders, $1.7 million), and IDC 12569R23T7232 (15 task orders, $675 thousand). These vehicles cover water handling, chipper services, and vehicle-with-driver support across USFS Regions 1–6 and 9–10, enabling the contractor to respond rapidly to wildfire suppression and incident response tasking. Recent awards show steady activity, growing from 18 awards in 2022 to a peak of 32 in 2025, with 23 awards documented in 2026 through August.

Blackstone Forestry's capability portfolio centers on specialized equipment and personnel deployment rather than engineering or IT services. Concrete recent work includes a $194,767 delivery order from Forest Service Region 6 for reforestation, habitat restoration, and hazardous fuels reduction in Pendleton, Oregon (July 2026); multiple water handling and vehicle-with-driver delivery orders under National Interagency Fire Center IDCs ranging from $29,400 to $147,750 (June–August 2026); and a $308,691 delivery order for reforestation and hazardous fuels reduction in Wenatchee, Washington (July 2026). The company also supplies heavy equipment such as Type 3, 4, 5, and 6 engines and support water tenders for fire suppression operations nationwide.

The vendor operates in a narrow, specialized market framed primarily under NAICS 115310 (Support Activities for Forestry), which accounts for 102 of 121 awards. A secondary NAICS, 485999 (All Other Transit and Ground Passenger Transportation), covers 19 vehicle-with-driver awards. All 121 awards fall under PSC Natural Resources/Conservation—Forest-Range Fire Suppression/Presuppression, indicating tight mission focus.

Blackstone Forestry competes almost exclusively under set-aside vehicles and total small business designations. The vendor holds no subcontract awards in the source data and does not pursue work as a subcontractor to larger primes. All recent activity reflects the company's self-directed pursuit of forestry and emergency response work through Forest Service and National Interagency Fire Center vehicles, with no diversification into defense, civilian IT modernization, or other federal customer bases. Combined obligated value across all awards stands at $6 million against $9.5 million potential value, suggesting strong execution and cash flow from an active, concentrated customer base.
