HB Forestry LLC

HB Forestry LLC, a small disadvantaged business based in Grants Pass, Oregon, provides wildland fire suppression equipment and forestry field services to the U.S. Forest Service as a prime contractor across regional and national indefinite delivery vehicles, competing exclusively in full-and-open and small-business-set-aside delivery-order channels rather than pursuing broader federal prime contracts.

HB Forestry is a for-profit limited liability partnership self-certified as a small disadvantaged business with SAM registration since January 2016. The company operates under primary NAICS 92411 (Support Activities for Forestry) and primary PSC 6720 (Natural Resources/Conservation — Forest-Range Fire Suppression/Presuppression). HB Forestry holds no enterprise-wide contract vehicles; all work flows through delivery orders against Forest Service regional and multiregional blanket purchase agreements and indefinite delivery contracts it has won competitively under small-business set-asides.

Capability footprint centers on water handling equipment, wildland fire engines (Types 3–6), support water tenders (Types 1–3), and field support services for wildfire suppression, all-hazard incident response, and prescribed burn work. Representative prime awards include a $239.4 thousand delivery order from Forest Service Region 6 (Pacific Northwest) dated July 8, 2025, for fire engines and water handling services under VIPR I-BPA ORRSF000007; a $148.1 thousand delivery order from the same region dated August 18, 2024, for forestry and fire equipment; and a $273 thousand delivery order from Region 6 dated July 9, 2024, for specialized vehicles and equipment across Medford, Oregon; Eureka and Yreka, California; and Albuquerque, New Mexico.

Customer concentration is extreme and monolithic. All 97 recent awards — 100 percent of the portfolio — fund Department of Agriculture Forest Service operations across four distinct customer entities. Region 6 (Pacific Northwest Region) dominates at 69 awards carrying $3.2 million combined potential value; the Fire and Aviation Management National Interagency Fire Center placed 17 awards valued at $1.1 million; Region 5 (Pacific Southwest Region) accounts for 8 awards totaling $393 thousand; and Forest Service headquarters or unspecified regional offices issued 3 awards worth $201 thousand. The two rankings are identical — no divergence between volume and dollars — reflecting HB Forestry's role as a tactical resource supplier to wildland fire operations with minimal service-line diversity.

Work flows through four parent blanket purchase agreements and indefinite delivery contracts. Blanket Purchase Agreement AG04H1B167236 has generated 32 task orders worth $780 thousand combined potential value. Indefinite Delivery Contract 1202SB22T7874 anchors the largest dollar volume with 27 task orders carrying $1.6 million combined potential value. Indefinite Delivery Contract 1204H119T7391 issued 23 task orders totaling $896 thousand. Indefinite Delivery Contract 1204H125T7269 produced 11 task orders valued at $657 thousand. In addition, HB Forestry holds a five-year VIPR I-BPA for water handling services in Region 6 (Pacific Northwest) awarded May 29, 2025, with a $250 thousand ceiling through May 29, 2030, under total small-business set-aside, and a second VIPR I-BPA for the West Zone (Regions 3, 5, 6, and 10) awarded June 6, 2022, also with a $250 thousand ceiling, that ran through June 6, 2025.

Award volume has remained steady at seven to eleven orders annually across 2022 through 2025, with one order placed in 2026 to date. The portfolio carries no subcontracting footprint — all 97 awards are prime work. Delivery orders typically carry firm fixed-price, no-set-aside designations once placed; the set-aside occurs at the IDIQ vehicle level rather than individual task order. Individual delivery orders cluster in the $15 thousand to $275 thousand range, with most falling between $20 thousand and $100 thousand. Combined potential value across the 97-award portfolio is $4.9 million; combined dollars obligated represent 81 percent of that potential value. HB Forestry's federal footprint is geographically anchored to western Forest Service regions, principally Medford, Oregon, and Northern California locations, with occasional work in Albuquerque supporting National Interagency Fire Center operations.
