Foothills Contracting LLC

Foothills Contracting LLC, a minority-owned, self-certified small disadvantaged business based in Salem, Oregon, provides wildland fire and all-hazard incident response services to the U.S. Forest Service as a prime contractor exclusively under total small business set-asides. The company is structured as a for-profit limited liability corporation and operates wholly within the forestry support and fire suppression domain (NAICS Support Activities for Forestry; PSC Natural Resources/Conservation — Forest-Range Fire Suppression/Presuppression).

Foothills Contracting's recent federal footprint is concentrated entirely within the Department of Agriculture's Forest Service. The vendor holds a $15 million multiple-award indefinite-delivery contract for National Type 2 BPA Firefighter Crews awarded by the National Interagency Fire Center on June 23, 2026, and has issued three task orders against that vehicle totaling $391 thousand in combined potential value. The vendor also holds two additional delivery orders directly from Forest Service regional offices: a $205,981 firm fixed-price order from the Colorado Rocky Mountain Coordination Center for wildland fire and all-hazard incidents support, issued August 17, 2026, with performance in Denver; and a $142,407 order from the Intermountain Region (Region 4) issued July 11, 2026, with performance in Price, Utah. Both task orders and the two regional delivery orders share an ultimate completion date of July 1, 2027.

All four awards in the source data arrived in 2026, with $391 thousand obligated against $15.4 million in combined potential value — a 3% obligation rate reflecting early-stage contract execution. Three of the four awards face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, creating immediate recompete exposure totaling $391 thousand in obligated value. The vendor has not yet held federal contract IDVs, appeared as a subcontractor, or received federal grants in the source data window. The narrow, specialized capability set and exclusive Forest Service customer base position Foothills Contracting as a niche operator in interagency wildland fire mobilization rather than a broad federal services contractor.
