Keller Logging, Inc.

Keller Logging, Inc., a for-profit corporation based in Eureka, Montana, provides forestry equipment operation and logging services to the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service as a prime contractor on multiple-award indefinite-delivery contracts designated as total small business set-asides. The vendor operates exclusively as a prime (100% of recent awards) and competes under small business set-aside vehicles; all work is performed in Libby, Montana and the broader Forest Service Region 1 and Region 4 footprint.

Keller Logging's capability portfolio centers on heavy equipment operation and forestry labor services in support of fire suppression, hazard fuels reduction, and natural resource management. Work includes feller buncher and skidder operation, timber harvesting, dozing, excavation, and personnel transport for incident response and prescribed forest management. Representative contracts include a $215,972 delivery order (awarded August 2023) for logging, feller bunching, skidding, dozing, and excavation services; a $228,378 delivery order (August 2023) for timber harvesting and hazardous fuels reduction; and a $34,400 purchase order (July 2026) for feller buncher and skidder equipment and services.

Customer concentration is narrow and stable. The Department of Agriculture Forest Service R1-Northern Region anchors 25 awards worth $2.4 million combined potential value (92% of award count), while the Department of Agriculture Forest Service Fire and Aviation Management National Interagency Fire Center holds six awards valued at $2 million (combined 92% coverage across both rankings). The vendor has also received one award from the Occupational Safety and Health Review Commission. The two customer rankings align tightly — both agencies are USDA Forest Service components — with no tension between volume and value concentration.

Keller Logging holds four named indefinite-delivery contracts under the VIPR I-BPA (Virtual Incident Procurement Incident Blanket Purchase Agreement) program, all designated as total small business set-asides with ceilings ranging from $250,000 to $500,000. Three of the four IDCs support heavy equipment task force services for Forest Service Regions 1 and 4, with ultimate completion dates running through May 2030. The vendor has drawn six task orders from IDC 1202SB21T7048 ($882 thousand combined potential value), four from IDC 12034318T7042 ($603 thousand), and two each from three smaller vehicles. Recent activity shows one award in 2021, three in 2022, six in 2023, and three in 2026, with a gap in 2024. Combined potential value stands at $4.4 million across 37 awards, with $2.1 million obligated to date (47% of potential). No recompete cliff is evident within the next twenty-four months; the vendor's most recent IDC awards carry completion dates in 2028 and 2030. Keller Logging has no subcontract footprint in the source data.
