Iron Pine Company LLC

Iron Pine Company LLC, doing business as Iron Pine Logging, supplies heavy equipment and trained personnel for wildland fire suppression, all-hazard incident response, and prescribed forestry project work to the USDA Forest Service as a prime contractor under total small business set-asides. The company is a for-profit limited liability corporation headquartered in Deer Lodge, Montana, competing exclusively within small-business reserve programs and specializing in forestry and emergency response equipment across NAICS 541614 (Support Activities for Forestry) and PSC code related to Forest-Range Fire Suppression and Presuppression.

Iron Pine's federal footprint centers entirely on the National Interagency Fire Center (NIFC) under the Department of Agriculture. The company holds eight indefinite-delivery contracts across multiple equipment categories — Heavy Equipment Task Force services for Regions 1 and 4; heavy equipment with water for Regions 1, 2, 4, and 9; and miscellaneous heavy equipment including feller bunchers, mulcher/masticators, road graders, skidders, dozers, and excavators. All contracts were awarded through the Virtual Incident Procurement (VIPR) system as Incident Blanket Purchase Agreements (I-BPAs) on firm fixed-price terms running through 2030, with ceilings ranging from $250,000 to $500,000 per IDC. The company also holds a single delivery order from USDA Forest Service Region 1 (Northern Region) issued August 2, 2026, with a $189,288 ceiling and completion date of August 11, 2026. Across all twelve awards, the combined potential value is $3.8 million, of which only $189,000 has been obligated to date, reflecting the indefinite-delivery structure and emergent dispatch-based utilization model typical of VIPR incident response contracts.

Customer concentration is absolute: ten awards worth $3.5 million trace to the National Interagency Fire Center's Fire and Aviation Management office, and two awards worth $339,000 flow from the Forest Service's Region 1-Northern Region. The NIFC awards authorize optional interagency use by the Department of the Interior, National Park Service, and Bureau of Indian Affairs, but the source data show no awards from those partners. Activity accelerated recently — one award in 2018, two in 2021, four in 2025, and five in 2026 — signaling growing utilization on VIPR rosters. Iron Pine competes exclusively as a prime under total small business set-asides and maintains no subcontract footprint. Performance occurs across U.S. Forest Service dispatch centers in Regions 1, 2, 4, and 9 (East Zone), with equipment deployed on up to 16-hour daily shifts during fire suppression, prescribed burn, and emergency response operations. The company's capability is operationally narrow but tactically concentrated: heavy equipment logistics and personnel deployment for federal incident response in the Northern and Eastern forest regions.
