Cougar Ridge Construction LLC

Cougar Ridge Construction LLC, a woman-owned, minority-owned small disadvantaged business based in Fossil, Oregon, delivers heavy equipment services and construction support for forest management and wildfire suppression to the Department of Agriculture Forest Service as a prime contractor exclusively under total small business set-asides and full-and-open delivery orders. The company is Native American-owned, self-certified as a small disadvantaged business, and an economically disadvantaged woman-owned small business competing in PSC Natural Resources/Conservation–Forest-Range Fire Suppression/Presuppression (all 22 awards) under NAICS Support Activities for Forestry.

Cougar Ridge's customer footprint is entirely concentrated within USDA Forest Service regional and interagency programs. The Forest Service R6-Pacific Northwest Region accounts for 15 awards valued at $768 thousand combined potential value, while the Fire and Aviation Management National Interagency Fire Center anchors 4 awards carrying $1 million combined potential value — 53% of the vendor's total portfolio by dollars. The remaining customer agencies (Forest Service line operations and the R4-Intermountain Region) represent $72 thousand combined potential value across three awards. All 22 awards are prime delivery orders with zero subcontract activity.

Cougar Ridge holds two active indefinite delivery contracts through June 2028: a $500,000 multiple-award IDC with the National Interagency Fire Center for heavy equipment services in West Zone Regions 5 and 6 (awarded February 6, 2026, under total small business set-aside) and a $250,000 multiple-award IDC also with the Fire Center (awarded June 9, 2023). Against these vehicles, the vendor has placed 12 task orders under the first IDC ($465 thousand combined potential value) and 4 under the second ($228 thousand combined potential value). Recent delivery orders include a $109,350 full-and-open order from Region 6 (August 20, 2026) for construction and infrastructure repairs in Sandy, Oregon, a $36,128 total small business set-aside order from Region 6 (September 19, 2026) in Wenatchee, Washington, and a series of sub-$100,000 orders across 2023 and 2024 ranging from $6,900 to $92,400 for equipment support and infrastructure work. Activity has grown unevenly—one award in 2022, four in 2023, eight in 2024, and five in 2026—with 47 percent of combined potential value obligated to date. Place of performance spans the Pacific Northwest and California (Regions 5 and 6), with individual delivery orders rooted in Oregon, Washington, and Idaho national forests.
