JB Logging

JB Logging, a Native American-owned small business based in Chiloquin, Oregon, provides timber harvesting, heavy equipment operation, and wildland fire management services to the U.S. Forest Service and National Interagency Fire Center as a prime contractor exclusively—the vendor operates with no subcontracting footprint and competes entirely under total small business set-asides on its core indefinite-delivery vehicles, though individual delivery orders frequently carry no set-aside designation.

The company's customer concentration is extreme and narrow. The Department of Agriculture Forest Service's Pacific Northwest Region (Region 6) anchors 92% of awards by count (82 of 89 named awards) and 60% of combined potential value ($5.4 million of $9 million total), with the National Interagency Fire Center's Fire and Aviation Management office generating 28 awards valued at $3.3 million. Together, these two Forest Service components account for 110 of 129 awards in the portfolio. Secondary customers—the Occupational Safety and Health Review Commission, the Bureau of Land Management's Idaho Region, and Forest Service Region 5—represent marginal activity. This concentration reflects JB Logging's specialized positioning in the Virtual Incident Procurement (VIPR) system, the federal framework for rapid equipment mobilization during wildland fire emergencies and prescribed land management operations.

JB Logging holds seven primary indefinite-delivery vehicles through the National Interagency Fire Center and Forest Service, all total small business set-asides with ceilings of $250,000 to $500,000 and completion dates between 2025 and 2030. The largest vehicle by task-order volume is Indefinite Delivery Contract 12569R23T7677 (22 task orders, $2.3 million combined potential), followed by 1204H120T7242 (14 task orders, $441 thousand), 1202SB22T7909 (9 task orders, $336 thousand), and a $321 thousand blanket purchase agreement under AG04H1B177101. These vehicles structure the delivery of heavy equipment—dozers, water tenders, skidgines, and excavators—as well as timber harvesting, vegetation removal, fuels management, and fire line construction services across Regions 3, 5, 6, and 10 in the western United States. Work is classified under NAICS 541712 (Support Activities for Forestry), with 127 of 129 awards falling into that code; PSC Natural Resources/Conservation–Forest-Range Fire Suppression/Presuppression accounts for 115 awards.

Representative task orders illustrate JB Logging's delivery profile: a $460,095 delivery order from Forest Service Region 6 in June 2025 for timber harvesting, vegetation removal, fuels management, and fire line construction at Lakeview, Oregon, with completion by September 30, 2025; a $339,890 order from Region 6 in June 2026 for the same scope; and a $116,060 order from Region 6 in August 2026 for timber harvesting and wildland fire management. Smaller orders range from $3,100 to $75,000 and typically complete within 30 to 120 days of award. The vendor also holds two purchase orders from Forest Service Region (Idaho) in June 2025 for heavy equipment supply—a $54,835 Type 2 dozer and a $16,800 skidgine.

Activity has grown year over year from six awards in 2022 to sixteen in 2024, but declined to seven in 2025 and fourteen in 2026 year-to-date. Combined potential value across all 129 awards stands at $9 million, with $5.3 million obligated (58% execution rate). No recompete cliff block was provided in the source; however, several IDCs carry ultimate completion dates in 2025 and 2028, including vehicles worth $250,000 each for water handling (June 6, 2025) and heavy equipment with water (June 2, 2025), exposing the vendor to recompete pressure within twelve to eighteen months on a portion of its core vehicle portfolio. JB Logging operates exclusively as a prime contractor on federal awards and maintains no sub-award relationships, concentrating its entire business on direct delivery to the Forest Service and National Interagency Fire Center across the Virtual Incident Procurement system.
