Covey Logging LLC

Covey Logging LLC, a Troy, Montana-based limited liability partnership, provides wildland fire suppression equipment, forestry management services, and emergency incident response across western and midwestern federal lands as a prime contractor, operating exclusively under small-business set-asides and full-and-open vehicles. The vendor holds a $50 million single-award Northern Rockies Stewardship BPA with the U.S. Forest Service's Northern Region and seats on three additional indefinite delivery contracts with the National Interagency Fire Center, positioning it as a specialized heavy-equipment and land-stewardship provider to the Department of Agriculture's forest and fire programs.

Covey Logging's customer base concentrates sharply on the Department of Agriculture. The vendor has worked with four distinct federal agencies across ten total awards, with 100% customer coverage driven by the Department of Agriculture Forest Service (nine awards, $51.25 million combined potential value) and the Department of the Interior Bureau of Land Management (one award, $14 thousand). Within USDA, the Northern Region dominates dollar value at $50.3 million across three awards, while the National Interagency Fire Center anchors volume with five awards worth $1.6 million combined. The Northern Rockies Stewardship BPA ($50 million ceiling through October 2032) drives the dollar concentration; the remaining work splits between smaller emergency-response IDCs and delivery orders for equipment provision and forestry services.

Covey Logging holds four indefinite delivery vehicles. The $50 million Northern Rockies Stewardship BPA with Forest Service Region 1 funds stewardship services including forestry management, habitat restoration, and fire prevention across Idaho, Montana, North Dakota, and South Dakota. Three additional IDCs—two issued by the National Interagency Fire Center in February and August 2026 (each with $500,000 ceilings) and one from May 2025 ($250,000 ceiling)—procure heavy equipment with water capabilities such as skidgines, softtracks, and pumper cats for fire suppression and all-hazard incident response across Regions 1, 2, 4, and 9. A fifth completed IDC (May 2022, $250,000 ceiling) expired in May 2025. Delivery orders against these vehicles include a $25,200 total-small-business delivery order from Forest Service Region 1 in July 2026 for forestry management and fire suppression services, a $22,102.90 delivery order from the Intermountain Region in August 2025, and a $13,702.90 purchase order from the Idaho Region in June 2025 for a Type 3 skidgine.

All ten awards carry small-business set-aside designation (eight under total-small-business, two full-and-open), with no subcontractor footprint across the award portfolio. Activity has grown modestly—one award per year in 2021–2023, then three awards in both 2025 and 2026—though combined obligated dollars remain minimal at $146 thousand against $51.9 million in potential value, indicating the vehicles are scaffolding for future task orders rather than cash-flowing work. Covey Logging operates exclusively under NAICS 561210 (Support Activities for Forestry) and PSC Natural Resources/Conservation codes, with place of performance across Idaho, Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, and other western states under Virtual Incident Procurement (VIPR) system protocols that enable rapid equipment deployment across federal land management regions.
