Huntzinger Brett

Huntzinger Brett, a sole proprietorship based in Trout Creek, Michigan, provides timber marking, cruising, volume estimation, and forest management support services to the USDA Forest Service as a prime contractor exclusively, with 133 awards spanning nineteen years of activity concentrated almost entirely within USDA Forest Service Region 9 (Eastern Region).

The vendor's customer concentration is extreme and deliberate. The Department of Agriculture Forest Service Region 9–Eastern Region accounts for 125 of 133 awards (95% of award count) and $5.1 million of combined potential value; the Washington Office Acquisitions arm holds a single $50 million Land Management Integrated Resources (LMIR) BPA awarded May 4, 2026, which dominates the dollar ranking. The Eastern Region work spans timber sale operations across the Ottawa, Chequamegon-Nicolet, and Huron-Manistee National Forests, with performance sites in Trout Creek, Bruce Crossing, Watersmeet, Ewen, Ontonagon, Ironwood, Michigan, and Colville, Washington. The vendor's capability portfolio is narrowly focused on forestry field services: timber designation for harvest (hardwood selection, red pine thinning, shelterwood preparation, clear cuts), board-foot volume estimation, common stand examinations, and stewardship marking contracts. Recent representative work includes a $59,672 stewardship timber sales marking contract issued August 18, 2023, covering three named timber sales across 522 acres; a $42,647 Trumpet Timber Sale marking contract issued September 19, 2025; and a $165,125 common stand examination call issued June 10, 2026, with completion scheduled for October 31, 2028.

The vendor operates under two primary BPAs. The Base Award Timber Mark & Cruise BPA Region 9–Ottawa/Chequamegon-Nicolet NF, a single-award vehicle with a $2 million ceiling awarded October 1, 2023, and running through November 15, 2028, has generated 18 task orders totaling approximately $546 thousand. The newer LMIR BPA, awarded May 4, 2026, carries a $50 million ceiling and extends through March 6, 2033, representing the vendor's largest vehicle position and signaling expansion into broader land management services across the Forest Service. Both are firm fixed-price, no set-aside awards.

Activity has remained relatively flat at 4–7 awards per year over the past five years, with 2024 reaching seven awards. Only five awards face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, carrying a combined potential value of $185 thousand—a minimal recompete cliff. The vendor has no subcontract footprint and no presence on government-wide vehicles or multi-agency IDIQs. Huntzinger Brett competes exclusively full-and-open, not under set-aside categories, though the majority of earlier Eastern Region work (2022–2023) carried Total Small Business designations. The vendor's $50 million LMIR ceiling represents a significant expansion in scope and vehicle reach relative to its prior single-customer, single-region posture, marking a potential shift toward broader USDA Forest Service work beyond timber operations.
