Bruce Young Logging, LLC

Bruce Young Logging, LLC, doing business as Harley Bruce Young II, is a small business forestry services prime contractor delivering timber harvesting, logging, fuels reduction, heavy equipment provision, and land stewardship services to the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service, primarily under Total Small Business set-asides. The company competes almost exclusively under set-aside vehicles across its federal footprint (94% of recent awards carry Total Small Business designation), with no subcontractor relationships and no federal vehicles held as a sub-contractor.

The vendor is a for-profit limited liability company headquartered in Heppner, Oregon. Its federal work portfolio spans 268 awards with a combined potential value of $174.6 million, though only $11.6 million (7%) has been obligated to date. Activity has accelerated sharply: after 11 awards in 2023, the vendor secured 15 in 2024, 17 in 2025, and 34 to date in 2026 — representing sustained growth in task-order volume. The most recent award, a $50 million Land Management Integrated Resources multiple-award Blanket Purchase Agreement from USDA Forest Service Acquisitions on September 17, 2026, anchors the dollar growth.

Customer concentration sits almost entirely with Forest Service regional operations. The Department of Agriculture Forest Service R6 (Pacific Northwest Region) dominates with 191 awards totaling $76.8 million combined potential value — 44% of all dollars across the vendor's footprint. Two other Forest Service customers anchor the second tier: the Fire and Aviation Management National Interagency Fire Center (31 awards, $5.4 million) and the Forest Service Southwestern Region (3 awards, $275 thousand). The Department of the Interior Bureau of Land Management Oregon-Washington and Idaho Region combined account for 15 awards and $40.8 million, the latter almost entirely from a single $40 million Forestry Stewardship IDIQ awarded August 28, 2026. This concentration is acute — the top five customers account for 252 awards (94% coverage) and $173.8 million (99% of combined potential value), leaving minimal diversification.

The vendor holds fourteen active parent vehicle positions spanning firm fixed-price Indefinite Delivery Contracts and Blanket Purchase Agreements with the Forest Service and National Interagency Fire Center. The Pacific Northwest Stewardship BPA (April 7, 2023 award, $50 million ceiling, single award, no set-aside) anchors the portfolio and runs through October 3, 2032. The Land Management Integrated Resources BPA ($50 million ceiling, multiple award, small business set-aside, September 17, 2026) and the Forestry Stewardship IDIQ ($40 million ceiling, Total Small Business set-aside, August 28, 2026) represent the two largest recent vehicles. Smaller but prolific IDIQs include water-handling contracts, heavy-equipment task forces, and prescribed-burn support agreements — a portfolio of fifteen separate vehicles with ceilings ranging from $250 thousand to $50 million. The Indefinite Delivery Contract 1204H124T7037 alone generated 24 task orders ($1.3 million combined), while IDCs 1204H118T7049 and 1202SB21T7777 carried 23 and 21 task orders respectively.

Capability footprint is narrowly defined by NAICS and PSC concentration: 251 of 268 awards (94%) fall under NAICS 238910 (Support Activities for Forestry), with 227 awards (85%) tagged to PSC Natural Resources/Conservation—Forest-Range Fire Suppression/Presuppression. Representative recent delivery orders include a $113,379 forestry and land management services order from Forest Service R6 (August 24, 2026, Total Small Business set-aside, ultimate completion September 13, 2026), a $102,582 order for timber harvesting in Baker City (August 24, 2026), and a $105,272 order for equipment provision and fuels reduction in Pendleton (July 17, 2026). Equipment purchases surfaced in June 2025 when the Forest Service Idaho Region awarded a series of purchase orders for feller bunchers ($20.3 thousand to $107.9 thousand each) and log loaders ($45.2 thousand to $81 thousand), reflecting the vendor's capital-equipment role alongside labor and consumable services.

All 268 awards are prime contracts; the vendor has no subcontractor footprint across recent activity. Work is performed across national forests in the western United States, with heavy concentration in Oregon and Washington (R6 dominance) and periodic regional deployment to New Mexico (R3 Southwestern Region), Idaho (BLM), and Colorado (R2 Rocky Mountain Region). The company holds multiple dispatch-center positions under interagency-accessible fire-suppression and equipment-task-force IDIQs, broadening potential use across Department of Interior bureaus, National Park Service, and Bureau of Indian Affairs, though the award record shows minimal utilization outside Forest Service channels to date.

A recompete cliff is emerging: awards with ultimate completion dates in the next twenty-four months (through October 2028) represent approximately $4 million to $6 million in combined potential value across numerous small delivery orders, though the two largest vehicles (the PNW Stewardship BPA through October 2032 and the LMIR BPA through March 2033) extend well beyond the two-year window. The accelerated award velocity in 2026 — 34 awards in nine months — suggests active pipeline fill under newly awarded vehicles, particularly the Land Management Integrated Resources BPA and Forestry Stewardship IDIQ.
