High Mountain Enterprises Inc.

High Mountain Enterprises Inc., doing business as High Mountain Logging, is a small-business subchapter S corporation based in Pinesdale, Montana that supplies specialized forestry equipment and services to the USDA Forest Service as a prime contractor, competing exclusively under small-business set-asides on indefinite delivery contracts and delivery orders for wildland fire suppression, vegetation management, timber harvesting, and hazard incident response operations.

High Mountain Enterprises operates entirely as a prime contractor (100% of recent awards) across a narrow equipment and services portfolio: feller bunchers, mulchers/masticators, road graders, skidders, dozers, excavators, chippers, and associated forestry labor. The vendor holds four active indefinite delivery contracts awarded by the National Interagency Fire Center and the USDA Forest Service between May 2024 and February 2026 — two $500 thousand IDCs for miscellaneous heavy equipment serving East Zone Regions 1, 2, 4, and 9 through May 2029, and two $250 thousand IDCs covering Regions 1, 2, 4, and 9 through May 2029. Representative delivery orders against these vehicles include a $72.8 thousand firm fixed-price call from Forest Service Region 1–Northern Region on September 1, 2026 for miscellaneous heavy equipment, a $70.958 thousand delivery order from Region 1–Northern Region on October 11, 2024 for specialized forestry services and equipment supporting wildland fire suppression and vegetation management, and a $58.2 thousand delivery order on September 9, 2026 also from Region 1–Northern Region under the total small-business set-aside.

Customer concentration is extreme: the USDA Forest Service Fire and Aviation Management National Interagency Fire Center and the Forest Service Region 1–Northern Region together account for 96% of awards and 99% of combined potential value. High Mountain Enterprises holds no subcontract positions and does not sub to other primes. Recent activity shows volatility — one or two awards per year from 2021 through 2023, then six awards in 2024 and five awards through September 2026 — against a modest combined potential value of $3.1 million across all 27 prime awards. Obligated dollars stand at $953 thousand (31% of potential value), indicating steady drawdown on the IDC vehicles. The vendor's entire footprint operates under the Virtual Incident Procurement system through a set-aside posture that is characteristic across the portfolio — all four active IDCs carry total small-business set-aside designations, and all but one of the recent delivery orders are issued under total small-business set-aside authority.
