Cabrera Contracting Incorporated

Cabrera Contracting Incorporated, a minority-owned, Hispanic American–owned small business headquartered in Salem, Oregon, operates as a prime contractor delivering wildland fire suppression and natural resource management services to the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service across multiple regions under Total Small Business set-aside delivery orders and indefinite delivery contracts. The company competes exclusively under small business set-asides and does not pursue full-and-open procurements; all 95 awards in the source data carry small business set-aside designations.

Cabrera's capability footprint centers on Type 2 wildland firefighter crews, chipper and crew services, general construction, facility maintenance, land management, and natural resource conservation activities. Representative work includes a $245,482 delivery order from USDA Forest Service Region 5 (Pacific Southwest Region) on September 5, 2026, for wildland fire and all-hazard incident support through July 1, 2027, performed in Solvang, California; a $236,726 delivery order from Forest Service Region 6 (Pacific Northwest Region) on August 16, 2026, for the same scope in Wenatchee, Washington; and a $314,749 purchase order from the USDA Forest Service Idaho Region on June 1, 2025, for Type 2 wildland firefighter crew services in Boise. Earlier awards include a $340,151 delivery order from Region 5 on August 27, 2025, and a $304,989 delivery order from Region 4 (Intermountain Region) on July 19, 2025, each for general construction and facility maintenance extending through May 10, 2026.

Customer concentration is heavily skewed toward the Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management. The top five funding agencies account for 86% of recent award volume and 98% of combined potential value. The Department of Agriculture Forest Service dominates by dollars—anchoring 12 awards worth $98.9 million in combined potential value—while regional Forest Service offices (Region 5, Region 4, and Region 3) account for 62 awards with $7.5 million combined value. The Department of the Interior Bureau of Land Management Idaho Region represents the only non-Forest Service customer of note, with 8 awards valued at $1.1 million. This concentration reflects Cabrera's strategic positioning as a dedicated wildfire-suppression and natural-resource contractor for the Forest Service's western regions.

Cabrera holds two primary parent IDIQs. The first, Indefinite Delivery Contract 1202SC21T2406, carries a ceiling exceeding the source's detail and supports 78 task orders valued at $10.3 million in combined potential value; this is a $82.5 million IDIQ through the National Interagency Fire Center established in May 2021 for nationwide Type 2 firefighter crew deployment and wildland fire suppression. A second IDIQ, awarded February 6, 2026, and carrying a $500,000 ceiling through May 29, 2029, procures chippers and crews for fire suppression, all-hazard incidents, and prescribed project work across Forest Service Regions 5 and 6 under a Total Small Business set-aside. A third contract, awarded May 5, 2025, with a $250,000 ceiling through May 29, 2029, focuses on chipper and crew services for Regions 5 and 6.

Activity has remained flat to slightly declining across the past five years—20 awards in 2022, 15 in 2023, 20 in 2024, 19 in 2025, and 20 in 2026—with modest year-to-year variation. Seventeen awards (combined potential value $2.7 million) reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, representing moderate recompete exposure. The combined potential value across all 95 awards totals $110 million, with only $11.7 million obligated to date, indicating a large pipeline of uncommitted work. The company operates exclusively in delivery-order and purchase-order mode against standing IDIQs; no recent full-and-open or unrestricted contract awards appear in the source.
