Compass Point LLC

Compass Point LLC, a for-profit limited liability company based in Janesville, Wisconsin, operates exclusively as a prime contractor delivering timber marking, cruising, forest inventory, and common stand examination services to the U.S. Forest Service and Army Corps of Engineers under small-business set-asides and full-and-open competition. The vendor competes predominantly under total small business set-asides, which account for the majority of its recent award footprint, though it also holds full-and-open vehicles. Compass Point is registered in SAM.gov since 2010 and specializes in forestry consulting and field inventory services under primary NAICS 115310 (Support Activities for Forestry).

Compass Point's customer concentration is heavily weighted to two Forest Service regions. The Department of Agriculture Forest Service Region 9 (Eastern Region) has placed 70 awards valued at $13.2 million combined potential value, while Region 8 (Southern Region) has issued 62 awards totaling $35.3 million. These two regions account for 98% of award count and dominate the portfolio. The Army Corps of Engineers, primarily the Rock Island District and St. Paul District, represents a secondary customer with 11 awards valued at $4.1 million, generating forest inventory services for Upper Mississippi River corridor assessments. A single large $50 million Land Management Integrated Resources (LMIR) BPA award from the Forest Service Washington Office Acquisitions (May 18, 2023, through March 6, 2033) anchors the potential-value ranking despite representing only one award; this vehicle enables any federal agency to place task orders for timber marking, cruising, common stand exams, and vegetation inventory work.

Compass Point holds multiple parent vehicles spanning both IDIQs and BPAs. The $50 million LMIR BPA is the largest by ceiling value and can be used government-wide. A $2 million single-award BPA with Forest Service Region 9 for timber marking and cruising on Ottawa and Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forests (effective October 1, 2023 through November 15, 2028) generates the most frequent task orders — 14 calls totaling approximately $355 thousand in combined potential value. A $1.312 million IDIQ for Common Stand Exams with Region 9 (March 20, 2023 through December 31, 2026, total small business set-aside) supports systematic forest inventory; delivery orders under this vehicle average $10 thousand to $15 thousand per task. A $10 million multiple-award IDIQ with Region 8 for timber sale preparation services (January 1, 2022 through December 31, 2026, total small business set-aside) and a $7.5 million multiple-award BPA with Region 8 for common stand exam services across four National Forests (November 15, 2021 through November 3, 2026, small business set-aside) provide sustained ordering vehicles. More recently, Compass Point was awarded a $1 million single-award BPA with Region 8 for timber support services on Sumter and Francis Marion National Forests and Savannah River Site in South Carolina (September 8, 2025 through September 7, 2030) and a $2 million multiple-award BPA with Army Corps of Engineers Rock Island District for forest inventory data collection across Wisconsin, Iowa, Illinois, and Missouri (July 15, 2024 through July 14, 2029).

Representative award work includes a $49,530 BPA call with Forest Service Region 8 for timber stand examination work in South Carolina (September 30, 2025, completion March 29, 2027, total small business set-aside), a $135,306 call order with Army Corps of Engineers for timber inventory services on Pools 13 and 14 of the Upper Mississippi River in Illinois (August 9, 2024, completion September 1, 2025, total small business set-aside), a $71,466 BPA call with Corps of Engineers for forest inventory services at Pool 11 (July 19, 2024, completion July 1, 2025, total small business set-aside), and a $44,098 BPA call with Forest Service Region 9 for hardwood improvement cut marking and cruising of 596 acres in Wisconsin (February 24, 2025, completion May 1, 2026, total small business set-aside). The 2023 Common Stand Exams IDIQ includes delivery orders to collect tree data across 43 forest stands and 232 plot locations on Monongahela National Forest ($10,208, June 29, 2023) and to conduct field-phase stand exam work using site and setting characteristic protocols ($11,298, June 21, 2023). Compass Point operates 100% as a prime contractor; no subcontract awards are present in the source data.

Activity has declined from a peak of 13 awards in 2023 to only 3 awards in 2026 year-to-date, reflecting a contraction in annual ordering volume. Combined potential value across all 149 awards stands at $102.8 million, though obligated dollars total only $3.7 million (4% of potential), indicating most awards are indefinite delivery vehicles with task orders placed gradually. Only 5 awards (combined potential value $136 thousand) carry ultimate completion dates within the next twenty-four months, presenting minimal near-term recompete exposure; the vendor's largest vehicles (the $50 million LMIR BPA, the $10 million Region 8 timber sale prep IDIQ, and the $7.5 million Region 8 common stand exam BPA) extend through 2026, 2026, and 2026 respectively, creating moderate recompete cliff risk in late 2026 and early 2027.
