Engelken Elisha L

Engelken Elisha L, operating as Broken Oak Forestry, is a Montana-based sole proprietorship that provides vegetation data collection, forest inventory services, and natural resources consulting to the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service as a prime contractor (100% of awards), competing exclusively under set-aside vehicles or direct awards to small businesses with no subcontracting footprint.

The vendor's customer base is entirely concentrated within USDA Forest Service regional and headquarters offices. The Department of Agriculture Forest Service accounts for all twenty awards in the recent portfolio, split across three customers by decision-relevant dollars: the Forest Service Washington Office Acquisitions (1 award, $50 million combined potential value), the Forest Service Northern Region Region 1 (11 awards, $2.3 million), and the Forest Service Eastern Region Region 9 (8 awards, $565 thousand). The Washington Office award reflects a June 3, 2026 blanket purchase agreement for a multi-year vegetation data collection and natural resources restoration vehicle with a $50 million ceiling running through March 6, 2033 under the Land Management Integrated Resources (LMIR) BPA, set aside for Total Small Business, covering professional services, engineering, project management, and restoration work across the United States under NAICS 541620 (Environmental Consulting Services) and PSC R408 (Support–Professional: Natural Resources). The regional awards primarily fund delivery orders against a $2 million indefinite delivery contract with Region 1 (the largest parent vehicle by task-order count at seven orders totaling $196 thousand) and miscellaneous BPA calls and purchase orders supporting common stand exams, Forest Inventory and Analysis plot remeasurements, and vegetation data collection across National Forests in Montana (Bitterroot, Flathead, Helena-Lewis and Clark, Lolo) and Vermont (Green Mountain).

Representative work includes a $56,238 firm-fixed-price delivery order from Region 1 awarded June 15, 2024, for common stand exams and inventory data collection in the Bitterroot National Forest; a $50,132 task order from Region 1 awarded September 1, 2022, for Forest Inventory and Analysis grid intensification plot remeasurement in the Little Belt Mountains near Helena-Lewis and Clark; a $29,659 BPA call from Region 1 awarded July 23, 2026, for common stand exams and vegetation data collection in Hungry Horse, Montana; and a $29,600 purchase order from Region 9 awarded August 2, 2022, for common stand exam work in the Green Mountain National Forest.

Activity has remained steady at two to three awards per year from 2020 through 2026, with combined potential value across all awards standing at $52.8 million (though only $587 thousand obligated to date, reflecting the large unexercised ceiling on the new BPA). The portfolio concentrates entirely on Support Activities for Forestry (NAICS 113110), with supplementary work classified under natural resources and conservation PSCs. Two awards totaling $125 thousand reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months.
