Fenter Logging, LLC

Fenter Logging, LLC, a self-certified small disadvantaged business headquartered in Myrtle Creek, Oregon, provides logging services and heavy equipment support for wildfire suppression and forest management to the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service as a prime contractor (100% of recent awards) competing under total small business set-asides on multiple-award indefinite-delivery contracts.

Fenter Logging's customer base is entirely concentrated within USDA Forest Service regional and national interagency programs. The Department of Agriculture Forest Service's Pacific Northwest Region (Region 6) accounts for 11 awards valued at $1.7 million combined potential value, while the Department of Agriculture Forest Service Fire and Aviation Management National Interagency Fire Center accounts for 4 awards valued at $1.5 million combined potential value. Both rankings track identically, reflecting Fenter's singular focus on wildfire suppression and forestry support work within the Forest Service. Capability work centers on two concrete service lines: logging operations including log loading, harvesting, processing, and delimbing; and heavy equipment provision such as dozers and excavators for fire suppression and all-hazard incident response. Representative delivery orders include a $434,352 purchase order for log loader and log processor services issued October 14, 2024, by Region 6; a $175,420 purchase order for harvesting operations issued October 4, 2024; and a $139,890 delivery order for logging services issued October 2, 2024. Place of performance spans Roseburg and Springfield, Oregon, with operations supporting Regions 5 and 6 of the Forest Service's West Zone.

Fenter Logging holds four parent indefinite-delivery contracts, all issued by the National Interagency Fire Center as multiple-award vehicles under total small business set-asides. Two $500,000 IDIQs awarded February 6, 2026, cover miscellaneous heavy equipment for Region 6 and heavy equipment for Regions 5 and 6 respectively, running through May 28, 2029 and June 9, 2028. Two earlier $250,000 IDCs through the Virtual Incident Procurement (VIPR) system, awarded June 9, 2023 and May 28, 2024, carry combined task order volume of eight delivery orders totaling $745 thousand in potential value. All four vehicles are firm fixed-price and all are designated total small business set-asides.

Activity has remained modest and flat. Four awards in 2023, five in 2024, three in 2025, and three in 2026 reflect work concentrated in delivery orders and purchase orders issued under standing IDIQ umbrellas rather than new contract vehicles. Combined potential value across all 15 awards is $3.2 million, with $1.7 million obligated to date (53% drawn down), indicating active invoicing against the standing base contracts. No recompete cliff is evident from the source, as the two principal $500,000 IDIQs awarded in February 2026 extend through 2028 and 2029.
