Bull Creek Forestry Inc.

Bull Creek Forestry Inc., a Montana-based for-profit Subchapter S Corporation, delivers heavy equipment deployment and forestry services to the U.S. Forest Service as a prime contractor across wildland firefighting, forest management, and infrastructure maintenance, operating almost exclusively under small business set-asides on multiple Virtual Incident Procurement I-BPAs and two large Blanket Purchase Agreements with a combined potential value exceeding $100 million.

Bull Creek Forestry is headquartered in Seeley Lake, Montana, and competes as a small business across the Department of Agriculture Forest Service portfolio under total small business set-aside designations on its primary contract vehicles. The company specializes in equipment-intensive forestry operations, supplying and operating skidders, dozers, excavators, feller bunchers, mulchers, road graders, log trucks, and pumper cats, along with trained and certified personnel. Work encompasses fire suppression, vegetation treatment, road maintenance, prescribed burning support, and all-hazard incident response across national forests and grasslands in the Northern Rockies and Intermountain regions. The company's customer footprint is heavily concentrated with Forest Service Region 1 (Northern Region), which accounts for 67 of 108 total awards and $105.1 million of the $111.3 million combined potential value—a 94% concentration by award count and 99% by dollars. The remaining six named customers (Forest Service Fire and Aviation Management National Interagency Fire Center, Regions 3, 2, and 4, and two smaller Forest Service component awards) collectively represent less than 1% of combined potential value.

Bull Creek Forestry holds seven active IDIQ and BPA vehicles, all issued by the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service or the National Interagency Fire Center (part of the Forest Service): a $50 million Forest Engineering and Road Maintenance BPA for Regions 1 and 4 (awarded September 2023, running through August 2033); a $50 million Northern Rockies Stewardship BPA for Idaho, Montana, North Dakota, and South Dakota (awarded May 2023, running through October 2032); and five Virtual Incident Procurement I-BPAs with individual ceilings of $250,000 to $500,000 and performance periods extending through 2028–2030, each designated for specific geographic zones and equipment classes under total small business set-asides. Recent delivery orders under these vehicles include a $317,480 order for heavy equipment deployment in Kamiah, Idaho (September 2025, under the Intermountain Region IDIQ); a $120,800 order for forestry services in Dillon, Montana (August 2025); and a $200,800 order for equipment deployment in Hamilton, Montana (July 2026). The top five named parent vehicles show 36 task orders with a combined $2.4 million potential value drawn from the five active VIPR I-BPAs.

Activity has grown steadily. Awards per year climbed from three in 2023 to nine in 2024, thirteen in 2025, and fourteen in 2026. The vendor's 108 total prime awards span delivery orders, purchase orders, and IDIQ/BPA vehicles across a twelve-year period dating to May 2014. Combined potential value stands at $111.3 million, though obligated dollars total only $6 million (5% of potential), reflecting the typical pre-positioned, on-call nature of incident response and forestry services vehicles. Recent awards issued under total small business set-asides (covering 2026 and late 2025) include a $36,320 delivery order for heavy equipment deployment in Dillon, Montana (September 2026), a $200,800 delivery order in Hamilton, Montana under the Forest Engineering and Road Maintenance BPA (July 2026), and four smaller delivery orders ranging from $30,515 to $108,904 issued in summer 2026. Non-set-aside delivery orders and purchase orders, which began appearing more frequently in 2024 and 2025, include a $317,480 order (September 2025), a $120,800 order (August 2025), and historical orders in the $24,000–$164,000 range for logging trucks, heavy equipment, and forestry services across Idaho and Montana.

All 108 awards are prime contractor awards; the vendor carries no subcontract footprint in the source data. The vendor's capability focus is classified under NAICS 541710 (Support Activities for Forestry) for 103 of 108 awards, with the remainder split across equipment rental/leasing and construction categories. Primary federal agency relationship is the Department of Agriculture Forest Service, which issues 96 of 108 awards across six named Forest Service components. The second-largest customer by award count is the National Interagency Fire Center (21 awards, $4.4 million combined potential value), which holds four of the vendor's VIPR I-BPA vehicles. The vendor operates with concentrated regional dispatch and service delivery focused on Forest Service Regions 1, 2, 4, and 9 (East Zone), with historical work extending into Region 3 (Southwestern Region) and Region 9 (Eastern Region). No work outside the Department of Agriculture or interagency fire-suppression ecosystem appears in the recent award history.
