Iron Triangle LLC

Iron Triangle LLC, doing business as Iron Triangle Logging, is a Nebraska-based small-business forestry and timber harvesting contractor that operates as a prime contractor (100% of awards) on hazardous fuels reduction, wildland fire suppression support, timber harvesting, and equipment rental contracts with federal land management agencies across the western United States. The company holds no SBA set-aside certifications and competes full-and-open on all prime work.

The vendor's customer base is heavily concentrated in the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service, which accounts for approximately 87% of awards by count. Forest Service Region 6 (Pacific Northwest Region) dominates the portfolio with 138 awards carrying $201.5 million in combined potential value, anchored by two major vehicle positions: a $50 million Pacific Northwest Stewardship BPA (single-award) and a $50 million Intermountain Stewardship BPA covering Idaho, Nevada, Utah, and Wyoming (Region 4). The Department of the Interior Bureau of Land Management represents the second-largest customer by dollar value, with a $140 million East Oregon Mechanical Hazardous Fuel Reduction IDIQ contract awarded September 1, 2023. The National Interagency Fire Center accounts for 18 awards worth $3.7 million combined, primarily through multiple-award small-business-set-aside Incident Blanket Purchase Agreements (I-BPAs) for heavy equipment and water handling services across Regions 3, 5, and 6 running through 2028 and 2030. Across these NIFC vehicles alone, Iron Triangle holds eight separate $250,000 indefinite delivery contracts for equipment, water handling, and heavy equipment task force support, all awarded or extended in 2025 and 2026.

Iron Triangle's service portfolio emphasizes mechanical and labor-intensive forestry work. Representative contract work includes a $2.54 million Firm Fixed Price BPA call (December 16, 2025) for falling, decking, slash piling, and biomass removal on roadside hazard trees in the Falls Fire under the PNW Stewardship BPA; a $1.2 million definitive contract (August 25, 2025) for hazardous tree removal in the Malheur National Forest; and an $800,000 BPA call (September 6, 2023) for timber harvesting and stewardship contracting work on the Malheur National Forest with timber value of $332,738. Equipment purchases have included dump trucks, log loaders, logging trucks, and heavy machinery, often procured as smaller purchase orders ($21 thousand to $299 thousand) against underlying BPA vehicles.

The award portfolio is dominated by NAICS 541710 (Support Activities for Forestry), which accounts for 107 awards, followed by 51 awards under NAICS 237310 (Highway, Street, and Bridge Construction) for road maintenance and culvert work, and 23 awards under NAICS 113310 (Logging). PSC codes align closely: Natural Resources/Conservation—Forest-Range Fire Suppression/Presuppression (87 awards), Maintenance of Highways/Roads/Streets (27 awards), and Forest/Range Fire Rehabilitation (20 awards) dominate the transaction mix. Activity has remained relatively flat over the past five years (6 awards in 2022–2023, 11 in 2024, 9 in 2025, 6 in 2026 through late April), with combined potential value of $400.8 million across 203 prime awards. Only $44.2 million (11% of potential value) has been obligated to date, reflecting the large ceiling values on standing BPA vehicles. Nine distinct federal agencies have placed awards, though Forest Service and BLM together account for 99% of combined potential value.

Iron Triangle's grant footprint includes five USDA Forest Service awards totaling $13.4 million: a $6.997 million Inflation Reduction Act Hazardous Fuels Transportation Assistance grant (November 26, 2025, CFDA 10.728) for hauling economically constrained hazardous fuels from 65 active forest management projects to forest products facilities (movement of approximately 1.1 million tons of timber through June 30, 2028); a $4.758 million IRA Hazardous Fuels Transportation grant (January 15, 2025, CFDA 10.728) completing December 31, 2026; a $1.372 million Infrastructure and Investment Jobs Act grant (April 27, 2026, CFDA 10.725) for retrofitting and reopening the former Malheur Lumber Company wood processing facility in John Day, Oregon through December 22, 2027; a $572,170 Community Wood Energy and Wood Innovation Program grant (September 7, 2022, CFDA 10.708) for a wood-waste-to-energy system; and a biomass utilization efficiency improvement grant under the Wood Products Infrastructure Assistance Program extended through November 30, 2026. These grants demonstrate Iron Triangle's engagement in forest byproduct utilization and rural infrastructure development alongside core harvesting and fuels reduction services.

The recompete cliff shows six awards (combined potential value $1.5 million) reaching ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, indicating modest near-term exposure. The two principal vehicle positions—the PNW Stewardship BPA and Intermountain Stewardship BPA, both running through October 2032—are single-award vehicles that insulate Iron Triangle from direct competition during the current cycle, though BPA calls are issued on a task-by-task basis and remain subject to performance review. Iron Triangle operates exclusively as a prime contractor with no subcontractor relationships in the source data, positioning the vendor as a direct competitor on Forest Service and BLM solicitations for hazardous fuels reduction, timber harvesting, and emergency equipment provision across the western region.

Iron Triangle has been in business for 18 years the LLC Company was developed in 1998. We construct and reconstruct roads, build bridges, logging, mechanized thinning, and excavation. We do both commercial and residential work.
