High Country Land Management LLC

High Country Land Management LLC, a self-certified small disadvantaged business based in Athol, Idaho, delivers forest management, heavy equipment services, and infrastructure maintenance to the U.S. Forest Service and the National Interagency Fire Center as a prime contractor operating exclusively under total small business set-asides. The company is a sole proprietorship structured as a limited liability company and competes entirely within small business carve-outs across all eleven of its federal awards.

High Country Land Management's capability portfolio centers on wildland operations and forest infrastructure. The vendor holds six Indefinite Delivery Contracts (awarded May 2025 and February 2026, each with a $250,000 ceiling through 2030) structured as Incident Blanket Purchase Agreements under the U.S. Forest Service Virtual Incident Procurement system for heavy equipment provision — dozers, excavators, and tractor plows — supporting wildland fire suppression and all-hazard incident response across USFS Regions 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, and 9 in the western United States. On the transactional side, recent awards include a $319,997 purchase order from USFS Region 1 for greenhouse table tops and bases (aluminum welded construction per specification) at the Coeur d'Alene Nursery, a $79,980 purchase order for road maintenance and heavy brushing across approximately 18 miles at Priest Lake, Idaho, a $79,975 purchase order for tree pruning, mulching, and removal at the Lone Mountain Tree Improvement Area, and a $25,000 firm fixed-price contract for road maintenance and repairs on Grouse Creek Forest Service Road 280 near Sandpoint.

Customer concentration is absolute: the Department of Agriculture's Forest Service Fire and Aviation Management National Interagency Fire Center accounts for 6 awards worth $1.5 million in combined potential value, while the Department of Agriculture's Forest Service Region 1 (Northern Region) accounts for 5 awards worth $565,000, encompassing 100% of the vendor's recent awards. The two rankings align perfectly — no tension between volume and dollar concentration. Activity has remained steady at three to four awards per year since 2024. Only one award (the Grouse Creek road maintenance contract, valued at $25,000) faces recompete completion within the next twenty-four months, while the six IDC vehicles run through 2030 and represent the bulk of the vendor's $2.1 million combined potential value. The vendor has obligated $565,000 across all awards, representing 27% of combined potential value, reflective of the early-stage drawdown on new IDC vehicles and recently awarded transactional contracts.
