Goodson Logging, LLC

Goodson Logging, LLC, a small business forestry contractor based in Cottage Grove, Oregon, provides hazard tree removal, vegetation management, heavy equipment operations, and faller services to federal natural resource agencies as a 100% prime contractor, competing predominantly under Total Small Business set-asides across wildfire suppression, forest stewardship, and dam/reservoir maintenance programs.

Goodson Logging's customer base concentrates heavily on the Department of Agriculture Forest Service Region 6 (Pacific Northwest), which accounts for 9 awards and $50.6 million of the vendor's $57.9 million combined potential value — substantially larger than the second-tier customer, the Army Corps of Engineers Portland District, which holds 8 awards valued at $3.4 million combined. The National Interagency Fire Center (11 awards, $3.3 million) and USDA Forest Service Region 5 (Pacific Southwest, 2 awards, $414 thousand) round out the active customer set. The concentration is stark: the top customer by potential value (USDA FS R6) represents 87% of Goodson Logging's total potential value across 34 awards, with all work structured as prime delivery orders or IDIQs rather than subcontract engagements.

The vendor holds multiple indefinite-delivery vehicles anchoring this pipeline. The Pacific Northwest Stewardship BPA, a single-award contract issued by USDA FS Region 6 on April 7, 2023, carries a $50 million ceiling through October 3, 2032, and supports hazardous fuels reduction, habitat improvement, and watershed restoration across Oregon and Washington national forests. Three National Interagency Fire Center IDIQs, each with $500,000 ceilings awarded February 6, 2026, provide miscellaneous heavy equipment, faller services, and heavy equipment operations for Regions 5 and 6 under Total Small Business set-asides through 2028 and 2030. The Army Corps of Engineers Portland District awarded a $3 million IDIQ on September 8, 2025 (Total Small Business set-aside, through September 2030) for vegetation management across the Willamette Valley and Rogue River Basin, covering 15 interconnected dams and reservoirs. Representative recent work includes a $137,000 delivery order from the Corps for vegetation removal at Foster Dam (June 29, 2026, completion September 28, 2026), an $89,700 delivery order for vegetation management at Green Peter (September 9, 2025, completion September 30, 2026), and a $68,000 delivery order for vegetation management in Lowell, Oregon (October 1, 2025, completion September 30, 2026). Earlier work includes $328,491 in log truck services for the Tahoe National Forest (USDA FS R5, September 2022) and $114,120 in forest management services in Springfield, Oregon (USDA FS R6, August 2022).

Activity has been episodic. The vendor secured 3 awards in 2021, 8 in 2022, 3 in 2023, and 5 in 2025, with 4 awards in 2026 to date. Combined dollars obligated represent only 3% of the $57.9 million potential value, indicating that the majority of vehicle ceilings remain unspent. The portfolio's primary NAICS codes are Support Activities for Forestry (21 awards) and Landscaping Services (11 awards), with the PSC footprint concentrated in Natural Resources/Conservation Forest-Range Fire Suppression/Presuppression (21 awards). Goodson Logging operates exclusively as a prime contractor with no subcontract engagements recorded in the source data, positioning the firm as a direct vendor to federal land-management agencies rather than a sub-tier player.
