Catropa Construction Domestic LLC

Catropa Construction Domestic LLC, a self-certified small disadvantaged business based in Ashland, Oregon, provides heavy equipment procurement, construction services, and wildland fire suppression support to the USDA Forest Service as a 100% prime contractor operating under total small business set-asides. The company operates exclusively as a prime across all federal awards, with no subcontractor engagement.

Catropa's customer concentration is narrow and stable. The top two funding entities—the Department of Agriculture Forest Service's Pacific Northwest Region (R6) and the Department of Agriculture Forest Service's National Interagency Fire Center—account for 100% of recent awards, with R6 placing 14 awards valued at $1.2 million combined potential value and the Fire and Aviation Management National Interagency Fire Center placing four awards valued at $1.5 million. Representative capability work includes a $236,875 delivery order from R6 in June 2024 for construction services and heavy equipment support across Oregon and Washington national forests, a $147,200 delivery order from R6 in August 2025 for construction and maintenance in Springfield, Oregon, and a $133,765 delivery order from GSA on behalf of R6 in July 2026 for construction and heavy equipment services in Wenatchee, Washington.

Catropa holds four firm-fixed-price indefinite-delivery contracts under the USDA Forest Service's Virtual Incident Procurement (VIPR) system, all designated as total small business set-asides. The contracts span Regions 5 and 6 (California, Nevada, Utah, Oregon, and Washington) with ceilings of $250,000 to $500,000 each and performance periods extending through May or June 2028–2030. The largest two IDCs, awarded in February 2026 with $500,000 ceilings, support heavy equipment procurement for West Zone Regions 5 and 6 through the National Interagency Fire Center, with 14 task orders issued against comparable parent vehicles totaling $884 thousand in combined potential value. Catropa's delivery orders under these IDCs have ranged from $10,400 to $236,875 and address both scheduled maintenance and incident-driven emergency response across Forest Service facilities in Oregon and Washington.

Activity peaked in 2024 with seven awards, then declined to two awards in 2025 and three in 2026; the combined potential value of $2.7 million reflects a narrow, regional customer base concentrated on Pacific Northwest forest management and fire suppression operations. Of the combined potential value, $1.2 million (44%) has been obligated to date. All eighteen awards reflect the company's exclusive focus on forestry support and natural resources conservation work (NAICS Support Activities for Forestry; PSC code Natural Resources/Conservation—Forest-Range Fire Suppression/Presuppression), performed directly by Catropa without subcontractor involvement.
