Profesional Slashbusting Services has performed multiple federal contract awards involving mechanical vegetation treatment services, specifically targeting understory brush removal, small tree thinning, machine piling, and site preparation across 53-260 acre project areas. All of the company's contract awards have been total small business set-aside designations, with individual delivery order values ranging from $30,532.50 to $158,400.00. The work consistently involves mechanical fuels reduction techniques such as masticating shrubs, clearing understory vegetation, and preparing areas for controlled burns or tree planting. These services have been exclusively performed for the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Forest Service, supporting land management programs in locations including McCloud, Fall River Mills, Mount Shasta, and Chester, California.

The company holds a critical $7 million Indefinite Delivery Contract (IDC) awarded by the U.S. Forest Service Pacific Southwest Region on May 27, 2020, with an ultimate completion date of May 31, 2025. This multiple-award IDC enables the Forest Service to issue task orders for mechanical fuels reduction services across Northern California.
