Bryson Hopkins

Bryson Hopkins, doing business as Hopkins Forestry, a small business sole proprietorship based in Enterprise, Oregon, provides forest road maintenance, snow removal, and wildland fire suppression support services to the USDA Forest Service as a prime contractor operating exclusively under total small business set-asides. Hopkins Forestry competes predominantly in the small business reserved space — 100% of recent awards carry the total small business set-aside designation — and holds five active indefinite delivery contracts with the Forest Service and the National Interagency Fire Center.

The vendor's customer base is tightly concentrated in the Department of Agriculture Forest Service. The Pacific Northwest Region (Region 6) accounts for 80 of 222 total awards and dominates the potential value ($7.5 million of $16.7 million combined), representing 59% of awards by count and 62% by potential value. The remaining customer footprint includes the Forest Service Fire and Aviation Management National Interagency Fire Center ($1.3 million across 4 awards), the Rocky Mountain Research Station ($700 thousand across 6 awards), and the Intermountain Region ($381 thousand across 7 awards). The Occupational Safety and Health Review Commission appears in the award count (21 awards) but carries minimal potential value, signaling small administrative or non-core work. Recent capability examples include a $115,720 purchase order awarded April 15, 2026, for roadway surface maintenance on 10.4 miles of forest road at Wallowa-Whitman National Forest including drainage structure and vegetation maintenance through November 30, 2026; a $71,901 definitive contract from September 20, 2024, for road maintenance on the Umatilla National Forest through July 15, 2025; and a $23,600 delivery order awarded August 2, 2026, for forest road maintenance at Pendleton, Oregon.

Hopkins Forestry operates five indefinite delivery contracts as primary vehicles. Two multiple-award water handling IDCs with the National Interagency Fire Center — one carrying a $500,000 ceiling awarded February 6, 2026, and a second with a $250,000 ceiling awarded May 29, 2025 — support wildland fire suppression and all-hazard incident response across Forest Service regions with equipment, personnel, and transportation. A single-award snow removal IDIQ for Wallowa-Whitman National Forest snow parks carries a $69,900 ceiling awarded December 29, 2025, through December 30, 2027, succeeding an expired $75,350 contract. The vendor also holds four legacy agency-specific IDCs and BPAs (Indefinite Delivery Contracts 5304R3222, AG04M3C090021, AG04M3C140018, and AG04KKC060014), which collectively support 76 task orders worth $1.3 million in combined potential value for road maintenance and forest management work across Regions 4 and 6. Award concentration by NAICS reflects the operational focus: 96 awards in Support Activities for Forestry (561730) and 84 awards in Highway, Street, and Bridge Construction (237310), with a long award tail dating to 1998. Activity has declined over the past five years (six awards in 2022 to four in 2026), and only one award with ultimate completion in the next twenty-four months ($116 thousand in potential value) faces recompete. The vendor maintains a 32% obligation rate across its portfolio, reflecting the multi-year and seasonal nature of forest service contracts.
