Caldbeck Logging Incorporated

Caldbeck Logging Inc. is a woman-owned small business subchapter S corporation based in Polson, Montana, specializing in forestry services, logging, and heavy equipment support for federal agencies, particularly the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Forest Service. Registered in SAM.gov since 2004, the company has established itself as a key contractor in providing timber harvesting, forest management, and emergency response equipment leasing across multiple Forest Service regions in the western United States.

The company has consistently been awarded federal contracts primarily from the U.S. Forest Service in Regions 1 (Northern), 3 (Southwestern), 4 (Intermountain), and 6 (Pacific Northwest), with contract values ranging from $24,500 to $294,257. These contracts involve a wide range of services including timber harvesting, logging operations, equipment provision such as log loaders and log trucks, and supporting planned timber sales on federal lands in states like Montana, Idaho, and New Mexico. The majority of these contracts are firm fixed-price delivery orders or purchase orders, and notably, none have been set aside for small businesses, indicating Caldbeck Logging Inc. successfully competes against other vendors on merit.

Caldbeck Logging Inc. holds multiple Indefinite Delivery Contracts (IDVs) with the National Interagency Fire Center, each valued at $250,000, focused on providing specialized heavy equipment for wildland fire suppression, disaster relief, and contingency response operations. These multiple-award, total small business set-aside contracts cover Forest Service Regions 1, 2, 4, 8, and 9, and include equipment such as feller bunchers, graders, skidders, mulcher masticators, and water-capable vehicles like skidgines and pumper cats. The contracts utilize the Virtual Incident Procurement (VIPR) system, allowing rapid deployment of private sector assets when federal and state resources are insufficient, with contract periods extending to 2030.
