Forestech Consulting, Inc.

Forestech Consulting, Inc., doing business as F4 TECH, is a small business federal contractor based in Tallahassee, Florida, that delivers mechanical fuels reduction, habitat restoration, herbicide application, and forestry inventory services to the Department of the Interior Fish and Wildlife Service, the Department of Agriculture Forest Service, and the Army Corps of Engineers as a prime contractor under total small business set-asides. The company operates as a Subchapter S corporation and competes predominantly under small-business set-aside vehicles, holding a $49.5 million no-set-aside ceiling Blanket Purchase Agreement with DOI Fish and Wildlife Service for hazardous fuels reduction and a $10 million single-award BPA with USDA Forest Service Region 8 for reforestation and invasive species control.

Forestech's service portfolio centers on land management and forestry operations across the Southeast. Representative work includes a $1.17 million total-small-business-set-aside BPA call from Fish and Wildlife Service Region 4 awarded May 28, 2026, for hazardous fuels reduction (mechanical and chemical methods) at Lower Suwannee National Wildlife Refuge in Chiefland, Florida, with completion by October 31, 2027; a $747.7 thousand definitive contract from Fish and Wildlife Service Region 4 for wiregrass planting and ecosystem restoration at St. Marks National Wildlife Refuge covering 30 acres through December 31, 2026; and a $205.9 thousand BPA call from Forest Service Region 8 awarded September 1, 2026, for two-part site preparation (single drum chopping and debris raking and piling) across the project area with completion by August 31, 2027. The company also holds a $856.4 thousand full-and-open purchase order from Army Corps of Engineers Savannah District for project-wide forestry inventory at J. Strom Thurmond in Georgia and South Carolina, completed July 31, 2024.

Customer concentration is heavily tilted toward two agencies. DOI Fish and Wildlife Service Region 3 holds 1 award representing $49.5 million (64% of combined potential value), anchored by the multi-year hazardous fuels reduction BPA; USDA Forest Service Region 8 holds 11 awards totaling $20.7 million (27%); and Fish and Wildlife Service Region 4 holds 12 awards totaling $3.3 million (4%). These three customers account for 97% of combined potential value across the 83 total awards in the portfolio. Award count ranking diverges significantly from dollar ranking — Fish and Wildlife Service Region 4's twelve awards carry a much lower value than the single $49.5 million IDV, signaling an anchor vehicle supporting numerous task orders at moderate unit values.

Forestech places work primarily through two BPA vehicles. The $49.5 million National Hazardous Fuels Reduction 2024-2029 BPA (DOI Fish and Wildlife Service Region 3, ultimate completion March 31, 2029) has generated 7 task orders totaling $2.5 million combined potential value since award; the $10 million Florida Reforestation/NNIS BPA (USDA Forest Service Region 8, ultimate completion August 31, 2027) carries 7 task orders totaling $629 thousand. Recent activity is modest but growing: 3 awards in 2025, 4 in 2024, and 7 in 2026 year-to-date. Seven awards with ultimate completion dates in the next twenty-four months carry combined potential value of $2.3 million, creating recompete exposure across multiple task orders on the two anchoring BPAs. The company acts as prime on 95% of its awards (79 of 83), with sub-grant work limited to two hurricane-cleanup sub-awards from The Longleaf Alliance Inc. Forestech's NAICS footprint is heavily concentrated in Support Activities for Forestry (34 awards), with secondary exposure to navigation instruments manufacturing and IT software categories that reflect historical work outside the core current portfolio.
