Garcia Forest Service LLC

Garcia Forest Service LLC, a minority-owned and Hispanic American-owned small business based in Rockingham, North Carolina, provides forest stewardship and vegetation management services to federal agencies as a prime contractor, competing predominantly under total small business set-asides across the USDA Forest Service and Department of the Interior. The company is structured as a limited liability partnership and operates across 409 awards with a combined potential value of $73.2 million, of which $34.8 million has been obligated — nearly 100% of its award footprint comprises prime contracts and IDVs with no subcontracting role.

Garcia's capability portfolio is narrowly concentrated in forestry and land management labor. Representative work includes pre-commercial thinning (1,168 acres on Long Cane Ranger District, $221,803, USDA Forest Service Region 8, BPA call awarded April 2023); mechanical brush cutting and fuel reduction (589 acres in Crawfordville, Florida, $167,865, Region 8, September 2023); tree planting across clearcut and stand regeneration areas (620 acres, $52,080; 604 acres at Enoree Ranger District, $89,356; 81 acres of longleaf pine, $21,384); herbicide site preparation and invasive species control; and wildlife habitat work including fire break establishment at Pocosin Lakes National Wildlife Refuge ($1.1 million firm fixed-price purchase order from U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, awarded August 2023 with period of performance extended to January 2026 due to equipment and weather delays). Work is performed across national forests and wildlife refuges in the southeastern United States, primarily South Carolina, North Carolina, and Florida.

Customer concentration is extreme. The Department of Agriculture Forest Service Region 8 (Southern Region) represents 122 of 227 awards counted in the top-customer block — 56% of the tracked award population by count — and anchors $46.3 million of the combined potential value. This single customer dominates across both rankings. The United States Marine Corps holds 46 awards valued at $7.9 million, the Department of the Navy 28 awards, and the Department of the Interior Fish and Wildlife Service Region 4 five awards valued at $1.2 million. Concentration is decision-flipping: Forest Service Region 8 alone represents approximately 63% of the company's total combined potential value across the entire footprint.

Garcia holds three single-award blanket purchase agreements anchoring most of its ordering authority. The largest is the North Carolina Vegetation Management Services BPA (awarded May 2022, $10 million ceiling, multiple-award vehicle, through May 2027), supporting pre-commercial thinning, tree planting, herbicide treatments, and invasive species control across southeastern national forests. The Florida Reforestation/NNIS BPA (awarded August 2022, $10 million ceiling, single-award, through August 2027) covers mechanical fuel reduction, brush cutting, and scrub chopping in Florida districts. The Wildlife and Forest Projects BPA (awarded September 2023, $7 million ceiling, single-award, through August 2028) encompasses disking, mowing, invasive plant treatments, and equipment rental for Francis Marion, Sumter National Forests, and the Savannah River Site. A fourth significant vehicle, BPA 12444121A0004 (Reforestation/NNIS), carries 18 task orders valued at $1.6 million combined potential. Task orders across all vehicles are issued under total small business set-aside authority at the call level.

Activity trajectory shows contraction. The company received eight awards in 2022, ten in 2023, but only four in 2024, four in 2025, and two as of mid-2026. The vendor's top NAICS classification is 541712 (Support Activities for Forestry, 275 awards), followed by 782000 (Landscaping Services, 71 awards), with work spanning forest tree planting, land treatment practices, and tree thinning across PSC natural resources and conservation categories. No recompete cliff data is provided in the source; however, the two awards listed with ultimate completion dates in 2026 (pine seedling planting, $65,604, February 2026; pre-commercial thinning, $83,569, March 2026) represent near-term renewals under the Forest Service Region 8 BPAs.
