Kelly Logging, Inc.

Kelly Logging, Inc., a small business based in Missoula, Montana, operates as a prime contractor delivering logging services and heavy equipment procurement and support to the U.S. Forest Service and the National Interagency Fire Center under Total Small Business set-asides. All five recent awards are prime contracts; the vendor does not subcontract or operate as a sub-vendor.

Kelly Logging's federal work concentrates entirely within the Department of Agriculture's Forest Service Fire and Aviation Management portfolio. Four indefinite-delivery contracts awarded by the National Interagency Fire Center between July 26 and August 11, 2026, anchor the vendor's footprint: a multiple-award IDC with a $250 thousand ceiling for heavy equipment task force support in Regions 1 and 4 (performance through June 1, 2030); a multiple-award IDC with a $250 thousand ceiling for miscellaneous heavy equipment procurement in the East Zone covering Regions 1, 2, and 4 (performance through June 1, 2030); a multiple-award IDC with a $250 thousand ceiling for heavy equipment procurement for the East Zone encompassing Regions 1, 2, 4, and 9 (performance through June 1, 2028); and a multiple-award IDC with a $250 thousand ceiling for heavy equipment with water for Regions 1, 2, 4, and 9 (performance through July 26, 2030). A single $40,500 delivery order from the Forest Service Northern Region (Region 1) dated August 13, 2026, for logging services in Dillon, Montana, represents the only task order activity appearing in the source, with an ultimate completion date of August 21, 2026.

Kelly Logging's activity is nascent — all five awards date from July and August 2026, totaling $1 million in combined potential value with only $41 thousand obligated to date (4% of potential value). The vendor operates across two NAICS categories (Support Activities for Forestry) and one PSC (Natural Resources/Conservation—Forest-Range Fire Suppression/Presuppression), reflecting a specialized regional focus on wildfire suppression equipment and logging services within the Northern Interagency Fire Center zones.
