Ground Zero Timber Fallers Inc.

Ground Zero Timber Fallers Inc., a for-profit Subchapter S corporation based in Madras, Oregon, supplies on-demand timber falling services—faller labor, modules, and specialized equipment—to the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service as a prime contractor under indefinite delivery and blanket purchase agreement vehicles, competing exclusively full-and-open with no set-aside designations on its delivery orders, though two of its parent IDIQ vehicles carry total small business set-aside eligibility.

The vendor's entire 113-award portfolio over the past five years spans support activities for forestry (NAICS 112200), with all but one award tied to forest-range fire suppression and presuppression services (PSC Y091). Ground Zero operates almost exclusively through two parent vehicles: the National Interagency Fire Center's West Zone Regions 5 and 6 Indefinite Delivery Contract (1204H120T7067), which has generated 31 task orders worth $1.1 million, and the Forest Service R6-Pacific Northwest Region Blanket Purchase Agreement (AG04H1B177395), which carries 40 task orders worth $1.1 million. A third vehicle—Indefinite Delivery Contract 12569R23T7184—has produced 22 task orders worth $761 thousand. Three additional BPAs round out the vehicle portfolio with smaller order volumes. Performance locations concentrate on Springfield and Bend, Oregon, and Prineville, Oregon, with subordinate work across the Pacific Northwest and California regions.

Customer concentration is acute. The Department of Agriculture Forest Service R6-Pacific Northwest Region accounts for 85 awards worth $3.4 million (63% of combined potential value), while the National Interagency Fire Center—also within USDA—holds 21 awards worth $1.3 million. These two entities represent 97% of recent awards. The Department of the Interior Bureau of Land Management Idaho Region, the Forest Service broadly, and the Forest Service R5-Pacific Southwest Region complete the customer set with token exposure. Recent representative delivery orders include a $152,550 order in August 2024 for faller labor and equipment supporting wildfire suppression across Oregon and Washington, a $78,300 order in July 2024 for Pacific Northwest incident response, and a $75,600 order in August 2024 for forest management and fuels reduction. More recent awards from June 2025 include two purchase orders to the Idaho Region for faller module services worth $43,200 and $29,700 each, with October 2025 completion dates.

Activity has remained steady at 10–13 awards annually from 2022 through 2024, dropping to 2 awards in 2025 and 1 award in early 2026. The combined potential value across all 113 awards sits at $5.4 million, with $3.8 million obligated (71% of potential). Ground Zero holds no secondary vehicles, BPA positions on government-wide platforms, or subcontract relationships in the source data—all 113 awards are prime awards, with zero sub-award footprint. The two IDIQ vehicles from the National Interagency Fire Center carry total small business set-aside designations and extend through June 2028, anchoring the vendor's medium-term recompete exposure. Historical delivery orders on these vehicles have ranged from $2,700 to $152,550, reflecting incident-driven, time-compressed performance periods tied to wildfire suppression and emergency forest management needs.
