Franco Reforestation Inc.

Franco Reforestation Inc., a minority-owned, Hispanic American-owned small business based in Aumsville, Oregon, delivers forestry and land management services to the federal government as a prime contractor across wildfire response, reforestation, vegetation management, and ecosystem restoration work. The company competes predominantly under total small business set-asides on delivery orders and blanket purchase agreement calls, with recurring task-order work against multiple Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity vehicles held across Forest Service regions and the Bureau of Land Management.

Franco Reforestation operates as a pure prime contractor—626 awards across the federal portfolio, all in its own name, with no subcontractor footprint. The company's capability set centers on concrete forestry services: Type 2 wildland firefighting crew deployment, hand fireline construction, tree planting and seedling installation, invasive species removal, vegetation management, prescribed burning support, and emergency incident response logistics. Representative recent work includes a $286,908.60 delivery order from Forest Service Region 6 (Pacific Northwest) for wildland fire and all-hazard incident response through July 1, 2027; a $308,697.30 delivery order from Region 1 (Northern Region) for similar incident support in Montana through the same date; and multiple $250,000+ delivery orders for reforestation, vegetation treatment, and equipment support across Regions 2, 3, 4, and 5. Earlier contract examples include a $804,000 prescribed burn support task order under Region 6's Naches Ranger District BPA (completed December 15, 2027 window) and a $50,000+ equipment-support contract under the National Interagency Fire Center's VIPR (Virtual Incident Procurement) program.

Customer concentration reflects Franco Reforestation's Forest Service-exclusive footprint. The top five funding agencies account for 84% of awards by count and 85% of combined potential value. The Forest Service's various regional offices dominate: Region 6 (Pacific Northwest) leads by volume at 346 awards and $99.4 million combined potential value, followed by the Forest Service's national contracting office at 80 awards but $397 million in potential—a gap driven by large IDIQ ceiling values rather than obligated dollars. Region 1 (Northern Region) follows at 41 awards and $55.1 million potential. The Bureau of Land Management Oregon-Washington region places 21 awards valued at $54 million. Region 5 (Pacific Southwest) rounds out the active set at 25 awards and $53.4 million potential. No other federal agency appears meaningfully in the portfolio; the Department of the Interior Fish and Wildlife Service represents a single niche (a $148,000 bitterbrush seed cache planting task under the LMIR BPA in June 2025).

Franco Reforestation holds multiple named IDIQ and BPA vehicles anchoring its federal position. The largest reported vehicle is a $50 million Northern Rockies Stewardship BPA (Region 1) awarded May 15, 2023, running through October 3, 2032, generating substantial task-order volume. A $50 million Intermountain Stewardship BPA (Region 4) awarded May 8, 2023, through October 3, 2032, serves similar function across Utah, Nevada, Idaho, and Wyoming. The company also holds a $40 million Western Oregon Silviculture Multiple Award Task Order Contract (MATOC) through the Bureau of Land Management Oregon-Washington region (expiring July 31, 2028), a $50 million Pacific Northwest Stewardship BPA under Region 6 (referenced in multiple award narratives), and a $50 million Pacific Southwest Stewardship BPA under Region 5. In addition, Franco Reforestation operates under multiple VIPR (Virtual Incident Procurement) Incident BPA vehicles, each valued at $250,000 to $500,000, for water handling, heavy equipment, chipper services, and vehicle-with-driver support across Regions 3, 5, 6, and eastern zones, awarded through the National Interagency Fire Center. The top task-order vehicle by count—IDC 1202SC21T2413—carried 168 task orders and $29.5 million combined potential, indicating dense ordering activity under a single framework. These vehicles enable recurring procurement without need for full-and-open competition, locking Franco Reforestation into standing positions across Forest Service and BLM dispatch regions.

Activity trajectory shows cyclical volatility rather than directional trend. Award counts peaked at 76 in 2023, declining to 56 in 2024, 47 in 2025, and 38 through September 2026. Combined potential value across the full portfolio stands at $777.3 million, but obligated dollars total only $69.6 million (9% of potential)—typical for standing IDIQ and BPA vehicles where ceilings far exceed annual burn rates. Within the next twenty-four months, 25 awards with ultimate completion dates will face recompete, representing $5.5 million in combined potential value—modest exposure relative to the portfolio size, reflecting the long performance periods (many running through 2027 or later) on the company's major IDIQ vehicles.

Franco Reforestation's federal work concentrates heavily in NAICS 541712 (Support Activities for Forestry), accounting for 621 of 626 awards. PSC coding confirms the forestry focus: 558 awards fall under Natural Resources/Conservation—Forest-Range Fire Suppression/Presuppression, with 27 under tree thinning, 22 under forest tree planting, and the remainder scattered across other vegetation and forest improvement categories. The company performs no design work, no engineering, and no strategic advisory roles—purely operational forestry delivery on federal land management missions in the western United States, with place of performance spanning Oregon, Washington, California, Idaho, Montana, Utah, Colorado, Arizona, and New Mexico.

Franco Reforestation competes exclusively under total small business set-asides on the vast majority of its awards. Of recent major task orders sampled, most carry "Total Small Business" or "No Set-Aside Used" designations; no 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, or WOSB set-aside categories appear. The company's small business status and minority ownership position it favorably for Forest Service stewardship and incident procurement vehicles, which are regularly reserved for the small business base, but Franco Reforestation does not appear to leverage any specialized SBA program certifications beyond general minority-owned status to compete for higher-value federal opportunities outside its core Forest Service customer base.
