CR Turner Enterprises, LLC

CR Turner Enterprises, LLC, a woman-owned small disadvantaged business based in Pittsfield, Pennsylvania, provides broadcast herbicide application and forest vegetation management services to the Department of Agriculture Forest Service as a prime contractor operating exclusively without subcontractors. The company competes under Total Small Business set-asides across its active footprint.

CR Turner holds two single-award Indefinite Delivery Contracts with USDA Forest Service Region 9 (Eastern Region): the original contract (12444322D0004), valued at $1.9 million through December 31, 2026, and a newer contract (12444726D0004) awarded August 3, 2026, valued at $3.5 million through December 31, 2030. Recent delivery orders under the original IDC include a $445.6 thousand award on July 14, 2025 for ground-based air-blast herbicide application to designated forest units, a $348.9 thousand order on July 8, 2024 for herbicide treatment using ground-based equipment, and a $362.6 thousand delivery order on July 10, 2023 for herbicide application across specified Allegheny National Forest units. Under the newer contract, CR Turner received a $536.5 thousand delivery order on August 3, 2026 for broadcast herbicide application across multiple unit sizes (under 10 acres through 21 acres or larger). The company also performs granular fertilizer application work, including a $74.7 thousand purchase order awarded April 29, 2024 for blended granular fertilizer application to forest lands.

Customer concentration is absolute: all 17 awards totaling $8.2 million in combined potential value flow from USDA Forest Service Region 9 across McKean and Warren Counties, Pennsylvania, with subordinate performance locations in Bradford and Marienville ranger districts. The top two parent vehicles account for ten task orders and $2.2 million in combined potential value. Only one award—the August 2026 $536 thousand delivery order—reaches ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, creating minimal near-term recompete exposure. Work performed under the IDCs requires Pennsylvania Category 05 (Forest Pest Control) certification for all pesticide applicators and covers treatment objectives ranging from pre-emergent roadside spraying to large-scale broadcast herbicide application across terrain from flat to 35-percent slopes, with typical task orders encompassing 2,000 to 2,500 acres. Service Contract Labor Standards apply, with a Forestry Technician prevailing wage of $27.32 base plus $5.55 fringe per hour.
