Caplis Forestry, L.L.C.

Caplis Forestry, L.L.C., a small business sole proprietorship based in Bossier City, Louisiana, provides timber marking, tree cruising, timber sale preparation, and forest inventory services to the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service as a prime contractor exclusively under total small business set-asides and full-and-open awards. The vendor operates 100% as a prime (64 awards across the visible portfolio) with no subcontractor footprint, performs all work in-house, and competes across both set-aside and unrestricted procurement vehicles within the Forest Service ecosystem.

Caplis Forestry's capability portfolio centers on specialized forestry support services classified under NAICS 115310 (Support Activities for Forestry) and PSC F018 (Natural Resources/Conservation—Other Forest/Range Improvements, Non-Construction). Concrete representative work includes a $18,788 delivery order awarded November 1, 2026, for timber marking on approximately 308 acres in Compartment 51 near Forest Hill, Louisiana, under a total small business set-aside with completion March 1, 2027; a $21,900 timber sale preparation order for the Calcasieu Ranger District of Kisatchie National Forest awarded October 2, 2025, with completion September 30, 2026; a $66,369 Boggy Bayou Project delivery order on the Calcasieu Ranger District for tree marking, timber cruising, and timber sale preparation awarded March 15, 2023; and a $48,790 plunge marking order for Kisatchie National Forest awarded September 30, 2022, under the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act.

Customer concentration is extreme and single-source dependent. The Department of Agriculture Forest Service R8-Southern Region accounts for 56 of 64 awards (100% of combined potential value by ranking; $36.1 million of $36.3 million total), with an additional 8 awards ($161 thousand) from the base Department of Agriculture Forest Service entity. The vendor holds three active parent indefinite delivery contracts anchoring its prime footprint. A $5 million Indefinite Delivery Contract for timber sale preparation services at Kisatchie National Forest was awarded October 1, 2024, as a total small business set-aside MATOC running through September 30, 2029, with place of performance spanning the Calcasieu, Caney, and Catahoula Ranger Districts and administrative oversight at Pineville, Louisiana.

A $10 million Indefinite Delivery Contract for timber sale preparation services was awarded January 1, 2022, as a total small business set-aside MATOC with completion December 31, 2026, representing the vendor's oldest active vehicle now reaching expiration. The top vehicle by task-order count, Indefinite Delivery Contract 127K1120D0002, carries 29 task orders valued at $926 thousand combined potential value. Awards per year declined from 11 in 2022 to 5 in 2026, with only 2 awards (both IDVs) in 2025. Four awards carrying $69 thousand in combined potential value reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, representing moderate recompete exposure concentrated in the December 2026 expiration of the $10 million IDV.
