Color Country Tree Service, LLC

Color Country Tree Service, LLC, a small business limited liability company based in Paragonah, Utah, operates as a prime contractor providing arboricultural services—tree trimming, removal, chipping, hazard prevention, and view enhancement—to federal land management agencies across the Western United States, competing predominantly under total small business set-asides on indefinite delivery contracts and task orders.

The company's customer base concentrates heavily on the U.S. Forest Service and allied agencies. The Department of Agriculture Forest Service accounts for the plurality of activity across three regional subdivisions: the Intermountain Region (Region 4) leads with 62 awards totaling $2.3 million in combined potential value; the Fire and Aviation Management National Interagency Fire Center (NIFC) has placed 16 awards worth $5.3 million combined; and the Southwestern Region (Region 3) has issued 13 awards totaling $355 thousand. The Department of the Interior Bureau of Land Management Idaho Region and the Forest Service Rocky Mountain Region (Region 2) round out the top five customers. These five agencies account for 94% of recent awards and 97% of combined potential value. The concentration toward NIFC on a dollar basis reflects eight indefinite delivery contracts—multiple-award vehicles under the Virtual Incident Procurement (VIPR) system—that anchor the vendor's federal footprint.

Color Country Tree Service holds a substantial vehicle portfolio across VIPR IDIQs. The company maintains seats on 16 named indefinite delivery contracts, all set aside for total small business, with ceilings ranging from $250 thousand to $500 thousand and performance periods extending through 2028 to 2031. These vehicles cover specific commodity classes: chipper services (multiple awards across East Zone Regions 1, 2, and 4); heavy equipment including feller bunchers, mulchers, and skidders (Regions 1, 2, 4, and 9); water handling equipment and personnel (Regions 1, 2, 4, 8, and 9); vehicle-with-driver services (Region 4 and Regions 1–4); clerical support operations (Region 13 national scope); and off-highway vehicles. The top five parent vehicles by task order volume are Indefinite Delivery Contract 1202SB24T7578 (22 task orders, $865 thousand combined value), 1202SB21T7285 (15 task orders, $508 thousand), 1202SB22T7234 (11 task orders, $275 thousand), 1202SB25T7744 (9 task orders, $294 thousand), and 12024B26T7660 (5 task orders, $102 thousand). The vendor issues multiple task orders per vehicle annually, with recent delivery orders ranging from $3,990 to $89,741 for tree-related work and equipment procurement.

Activity has grown sharply in recent years—19 awards in 2022, climbing to 33 awards by 2026 (through August)—indicating sustained federal demand. The combined potential value across 114 prime awards totals $8.6 million, with $3.3 million obligated to date (39% utilization rate). The vendor faces recompete exposure as multiple VIPR contracts awarded in 2021 and 2022 approach expiration through 2028; notably, the Indefinite Delivery Contracts 1202SB21T7285 and 1202SB22T7234 combined carry roughly $783 thousand in active potential value and are among the oldest vehicles in the portfolio. Award distribution reflects overwhelming concentration in NAICS 561730 (Support Activities for Forestry)—92 of 114 awards—with secondary codes covering ground transportation (13 awards) and satellite communications (2 awards). Across PSC coding, 98 awards fall under Natural Resources/Conservation Forest-Range Fire Suppression/Presuppression, with 10 awards in Fire Fighting Equipment.

Color Country Tree Service operates exclusively as a prime contractor; the source records no subcontract activity. The company's federal footprint is entirely work-for-order delivery against pre-competed VIPR IDIQs held under Forest Service Fire and Aviation Management regional procurement, positioning it as a responsive supplier for emergency wildfire response, prescribed burn operations, and vegetation management projects across multiple western regions. Recent task order activity (August 2026) shows sustained placement of small to mid-sized orders ($8,850 to $61,600) for tree services, water tenders, chippers, and equipment rental, with firm fixed-price structures and rapid completion timelines (typically within one to three weeks of award).
