Chris Reed

Chris Reed, doing business as Chris Reed Cutting, is a self-certified small disadvantaged business sole proprietorship based in Reedsport, Oregon, that provides forestry and wildland management services to federal agencies exclusively as a prime contractor under total small business set-asides and full-and-open delivery orders. The vendor specializes in faller resources, vegetation management, fuels reduction, wildland firefighting support, and ecosystem maintenance across Forest Service Regions 5 and 6 in the Pacific Northwest.

Chris Reed Cutting holds two primary indefinite delivery contracts with the National Interagency Fire Center: a $250,000 contract (awarded June 2023, running through June 2028) and a $750,000 contract (awarded February 2026, running through June 2028), both designated as total small business set-asides for fallers and forestry services in Forest Service Regions 5 and 6. The vendor's customer base is heavily concentrated in the Department of Agriculture Forest Service, accounting for 100% of recent awards split between the Forest Service's Pacific Northwest Region (16 awards, $606 thousand combined potential value) and the Fire and Aviation Management National Interagency Fire Center (2 awards, $1 million combined potential value). A single award from the Department of the Interior Bureau of Land Management Idaho Region ($15,400 for a faller module in Boise) represents the only non-Forest Service work in the recent footprint. All 19 awards are categorized under NAICS Support Activities for Forestry and PSC Natural Resources/Conservation—Forest-Range Fire Suppression/Presuppression.

Activity has remained flat year over year—5 awards in 2023, 2024, and 2025, with 4 awards already recorded in 2026. Delivery orders under the $250,000 IDC have ranged from $9,293 to $96,933, with the bulk of work performed in Springfield, Roseburg, Prineville, and Bend, Oregon, and Boise, Idaho. Recent representative work includes a $38,700 delivery order from the Forest Service's Pacific Northwest Region (July 2026) for vegetation management in Sandy, Oregon; a $48,400 delivery order (September 2025) for wildland management in Medford, Oregon; and a $96,933 order (August 2025) for firefighting and fuels reduction in Springfield, Oregon. The vendor performs as prime contractor on all identified contracts and has no identified subcontractor relationships. Combined potential value across all awards stands at $1.6 million, with $621 thousand obligated to date (38% of potential).
