Enhanced Forest Management, Inc.

Enhanced Forest Management, Inc., a for-profit small business subchapter S corporation based in Corvallis, Montana, provides forest management, fuels reduction, reforestation, habitat restoration, and heavy equipment support for wildland fire suppression across the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service as a prime contractor on a 100% prime-award footprint with no subcontract work.

The vendor operates almost exclusively under single-customer concentration with the USDA Forest Service's Northern Region (Region 1), which accounts for 92% of all recent awards and 92% of combined potential value across the portfolio—$62.4 million across 65 prime awards. The remaining customer base includes the Forest Service's Intermountain Region (Region 4, 17 awards, $1.4 million potential value), the National Interagency Fire Center (14 awards, $3.5 million potential value), and the Southwestern Region (Region 3, 4 awards, $301 thousand potential value). The Northern Region relationship dominates both award count and dollar magnitude; the two rankings move together, indicating little tension between volume and value concentration.

Enhanced Forest Management holds multiple Indefinite Delivery Contracts and a $50 million single-award Blanket Purchase Agreement with the Forest Service Northern Region running through October 3, 2032. The BPA procures stewardship services—fuels reduction, reforestation, habitat restoration, and heavy equipment deployment for wildland fire suppression—across Idaho, Montana, North Dakota, and South Dakota with no set-aside designation. The vendor also holds nine VIPR (Virtual Incident Procurement) Incident Blanket Purchase Agreements under the National Interagency Fire Center, each valued at $250 thousand and designated as Total Small Business set-asides, covering Heavy Equipment Task Force (HETF) services and miscellaneous heavy equipment with water capabilities across Forest Service Regions 1, 2, 4, 6, and 9 through 2030. Recent named delivery orders under the Northern Region stewardship BPA include a $436.7 thousand order for enhanced forest management services in Hamilton, Montana (August 18, 2024), a $298.2 thousand order for the same scope in Hamilton (October 11, 2024), and a $101.4 thousand Total Small Business set-aside order for forest management at Alamogordo, New Mexico (May 21, 2026). Equipment purchases from the Northern Region include two log loaders valued at $109.9 thousand (November 8, 2024) and a feller buncher priced at $176.9 thousand (August 22, 2022).

Activity has remained relatively flat across the past five years—11 awards in 2022, 6 in 2023, 11 in 2024, 6 in 2025, and 6 in 2026 year to date—with a combined obligated spend of $4.7 million against $67.9 million in combined potential value across 110 total awards. The vendor received a single federal grant award from the Forest Service Northern Region for $27.9 thousand to support business operations and firewood-scale equipment, completed by September 30, 2024. NAICS classification runs 100% on Support Activities for Forestry (110 awards), with PSC coding weighted heavily to forest-range fire suppression and presuppression (86 awards) and other forest/range improvements (7 awards). The vendor competes entirely in open competition with no set-aside designations in the prime stewardship BPA, although small-business set-asides appear in the VIPR HETF vehicles and in a small number of individual delivery orders.
