Nate's Tree Service, Inc.

Nate's Tree Service, Inc., doing business as Michelle Gray, is a self-certified small disadvantaged business and woman-owned business that provides specialized tree services and heavy equipment rental to various federal agencies. Registered in the System for Award Management (SAM.gov) since August 2009, the company has established itself as a reliable contractor for the U.S. government, particularly in the areas of hazard tree mitigation and wildland fire suppression support. The firm's expertise in arboriculture and heavy equipment operation has positioned it as a valuable partner for federal land management agencies.

The company's recent contract awards demonstrate its capabilities in hazardous tree removal and management. In September 2023, Nate's Tree Service was awarded a $63,200 firm-fixed-price purchase order by the Department of the Interior's National Park Service Pacific West Region for hazard tree mitigation services at Lassen Volcanic National Park in California. This contract, set aside for small businesses, involved felling and removing identified hazard trees that posed risks to park infrastructure. The scope of work included tree cutting, debris removal, traffic control, and site restoration, all performed under the supervision of an ISA-certified arborist. This award highlights the company's specialized skills in addressing critical safety concerns in national parks and protected areas.

Nate's Tree Service, Inc. holds two significant Indefinite Delivery Contracts (IDCs) with the Department of Agriculture's Forest Service, both of which are multiple-award contracts set aside for small businesses. The first IDC, awarded in May 2024 with a ceiling value of $250,000, is for providing miscellaneous heavy equipment for wildland fire suppression, all-hazard incidents, and prescribed project work in the Pacific Northwest Region 6. This contract, which runs through May 2029, requires the company to supply equipment, personnel, and necessary certifications for various forest management and emergency response activities. The second IDC, awarded in June 2023 with a similar ceiling value, covers heavy equipment rental services for Regions 5 and 6, supporting wildland fire suppression and all-hazard incident response through June 2028. Both contracts utilize the Virtual Incident Procurement (VIPR) system for equipment orders, allowing for rapid deployment of resources during emergencies. These IDVs demonstrate Nate's Tree Service's capacity to provide critical heavy equipment and skilled personnel for federal land management agencies across multiple regions, particularly in support of wildfire management and emergency response efforts.
