Grizzly Timber LLC

Grizzly Timber LLC (Grizzly Timber Company Division), a woman-owned small disadvantaged business based in Sheridan, Montana, provides log trucking, heavy equipment rentals, and personnel support for forest management and wildland fire suppression operations to the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service as a prime contractor under total small business set-asides. The company competes exclusively within set-aside categories — all 25 tracked awards carry either Total Small Business or Competitive 8(a) designations — and operates as a 100% prime footprint with no subcontract exposure.

Grizzly Timber's capability portfolio centers on forestry logistics and emergency response equipment provisioning. Representative work includes recurring delivery orders from Forest Service Region 1 (Northern Region) for log trucking and pickup services — a $66,636 order in September 2026, a $61,200 order in August 2026, and a $54,400 order also in August 2026, all firm fixed price — and five Indefinite Delivery Contracts awarded through the Virtual Incident Procurement (VIPR) system by the National Interagency Fire Center to provide specialized heavy equipment (dozers, excavators, tractor plows, skidgines, softtracks, pumper cats) for wildland fire suppression and all-hazard incident response across Forest Service Regions 1, 2, 4, and 9 through 2030. The five VIPR I-BPAs carry ceilings of $500,000 each (2026 awards) or $250,000 each (2022–2025 awards), totaling $3.3 million in combined potential value across nine awards.

Customer concentration is extreme and singular. The National Interagency Fire Center accounts for 9 awards and $3.3 million (82% of potential value); Forest Service Region 1 (Northern Region) accounts for 15 awards and $621 thousand (15% of potential value). A single award from Forest Service Region 6 (Pacific Northwest) of $83 thousand rounds out the three-agency footprint. Activity has accelerated in recent years — two awards annually in 2022–2023, seven in 2024, five in 2025, and nine in 2026 — reflecting organic growth in delivery order velocity against the VIPR I-BPA vehicles.

All tracked work falls within two NAICS categories: Support Activities for Forestry (NAICS 115310) accounts for 23 awards, and Construction, Mining, and Forestry Machinery and Equipment Rental and Leasing (NAICS 532412) accounts for 2 awards. Performance sites span western Montana (Sheridan, Dillon, Hamilton, Helena) and multi-region Forest Service operations in the East Zone. Combined potential value across 25 awards is $4 million; obligated dollars total $704 thousand (18% draw-down rate), indicating unexercised capacity across the VIPR I-BPA ceilings.
