Crook Logging, Inc.

Crook Logging, Inc., based in Groveland, California, provides integrated forest stewardship, timber harvesting, and wildland fire suppression equipment support to the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service as a self-certified small disadvantaged business prime contractor (97% of recent awards) across the Pacific Southwest Region and fire management programs. The company operates predominantly in full-and-open and total small business set-aside competitions, with recent activity concentrated on definitive contracts, blanket purchase agreements, and indefinite delivery contracts issued by the Forest Service.

Crook Logging's customer footprint is highly concentrated. The Department of Agriculture Forest Service R5 (Pacific Southwest Region) accounts for 20 awards and $69.5 million in combined potential value—97% of the vendor's award count coverage. The company also holds work with the Fire and Aviation Management National Interagency Fire Center (7 awards, $2.3 million combined potential value). This concentration reflects the vendor's specialization in West Coast forest management and incident response rather than multi-agency diversification. The top two customers represent 100% of combined potential value across all awards.

Crook Logging's capability portfolio centers on four concrete service areas, all grounded in recent prime awards. First, integrated resource stewardship contracting including timber harvest planning, road maintenance and reconstruction, precommercial thinning, mastication, and biomass removal—exemplified by the $4.4 million Bumblebee Revised Stewardship project awarded July 23, 2026 (ceiling value) under total small business set-aside, performing work across 4,000 gross acres in Stanislaus National Forest through May 2031, with product revenue of $155,889.75 offsetting $2.167 million in service work. Second, boundary and landscape stewardship services including logging and hazardous-fuels reduction, as in the $2.785 million Boundary Stewardship BPA call for Long Barn work completed October 31, 2024 under the $50 million Pacific Southwest Stewardship BPA. Third, miscellaneous heavy equipment provision for wildland fire suppression and all-hazard incident response, delivered under two Indefinite Delivery Contracts awarded February 6, 2026 by the National Interagency Fire Center—one for $500,000 (Region 5) and one for $500,000 (West Zone Regions 5 and 6), both through June 2028–2029, supplying feller bunchers, mulchers, masticators, road graders, dozers, excavators, chippers, and skidders for up to 16-hour daily shifts. Fourth, delivery-order logging services in support of forest management at sub-$100,000 scale across multiple California locations (Grass Valley, Eureka, Mariposa) in 2022. Place of performance spans National Forests in California's Pacific Southwest Region, with work concentrated in the Sierra Nevada and foothill areas.

Crook Logging holds position on two named parent vehicles—the $50 million Pacific Southwest Stewardship BPA (single award, October 3, 2022 through October 3, 2032) and the Indefinite Delivery Contract 1202SB21T7784 (5 task orders, $393 thousand combined potential value). The vendor also operates under the Stanislaus, Sierra, and Sequoia National Forest stewardship vehicles and National Interagency Fire Center emergency procurement frameworks (VIPR system).

Activity has been volatile. Six awards in 2022 were followed by two in 2023, two in 2024, one in 2025, and three in 2026—trending toward higher-value single awards rather than volume. The combined recompete cliff within the next twenty-four months is minimal: one award with $1.6 million combined potential value reaching ultimate completion. The $4.4 million Bumblebee contract has an ultimate completion date of May 30, 2031, creating a multi-year delivery and potential renewal cycle well outside the recompete window.

SCI-reported invoiced revenue on federal service contracts above the $150,000 threshold totaled $2.5 million across FY2023–FY2024 (FY2025 showed no SCI invoicing). FY2023 captured $1 million across 2.4 FTEs; FY2024 surged to $1.5 million across 41.0 FTEs—a seventeen-fold increase in workforce scaling for that single fiscal year. Government-paid hourly rates ranged from a 10th percentile of $3.53/hr through a median of $17.65/hr to a 90th percentile of $168.87/hr, reflecting a mix of equipment-operator labor, heavy-equipment rental hours, and senior consulting or supervisory roles. Across SCI-reportable prime contracts, the vendor performed zero percent of hours through subcontractors, building its own delivery teams. The source identifies one sub-award: a December 28, 2025 sub-grant to Patriot Restoration Ops for fuel-load offhaul from National Forest, representing 3% of total awards (1 of 31).
