LTC Forestry, Inc.

LTC Forestry, Inc., doing business as LTC Forestry Inc., is a women-owned small business headquartered in Ramona, California, that delivers mechanical forestry services, hazard tree stewardship, fuels reduction, and wildfire emergency response to the U.S. Forest Service and National Interagency Fire Center as a prime contractor operating exclusively under total small business set-asides.

LTC Forestry holds a for-profit Subchapter S corporation structure with SBA certification as a women-owned small business and self-certification as a small disadvantaged business. The vendor competes predominantly under total small business set-asides; of 28 awards in the portfolio, 18 carry explicit total small business set-aside designations, with the remainder issued either without set-aside or under multiple-award IDIQ vehicles. Primary NAICS coverage runs to Support Activities for Forestry (24 awards) and Logging (3 awards), with PSC coding emphasizing Natural Resources/Conservation services across forest-range fire suppression, presuppression, tree thinning, and recreation site maintenance.

Customer concentration is extreme and narrow: the U.S. Forest Service Pacific Southwest Region (Region 5) accounts for 18 awards and $52.9 million (94% of combined potential value), with the National Interagency Fire Center's Fire and Aviation Management program holding 7 awards valued at $2.5 million. The Department of the Interior's National Park Service, the Rocky Mountain Region (Region 2), and the broader Forest Service each place a single order. Award volume has grown substantially — from three awards in 2022 to seven in 2026 — though only three awards (combined potential value $633 thousand) face recompete within the next twenty-four months.

LTC Forestry's primary vehicle position is the $50 million Pacific Southwest Stewardship BPA (single-award, awarded October 3, 2022, valid through October 2032), which anchors the vendor's prime footprint. Under this BPA, LTC Forestry has executed 18 task orders ranging from $16,741 to $550,620 for hazard tree stewardship, fuelbreak establishment, storm-damaged tree removal, and post-fire fuels reduction across 14 California national forests. Representative work includes a $329,105 BPA call awarded September 8, 2025, for removal of 80 to 100 storm-damaged trees at the Sugar Pine Recreation Complex near Foresthill (deadline May 15, 2026), a $305,910 BPA call issued September 7, 2026, for the Blue Jay-Falcon Post Fire Fuels Reductions project in Ramona (deadline April 30, 2027), and a $61,400 BPA call awarded September 24, 2026, for hazard tree stewardship at South Lake Tahoe (deadline July 15, 2027). LTC Forestry also holds four indefinite-delivery contracts awarded February 6, 2026, by the National Interagency Fire Center — three with $500,000 ceilings and one with $250,000 — covering fallers, chippers and crews, and miscellaneous heavy equipment (feller bunchers, mulchers, masticators, road graders, skidders) for fire suppression and all-hazard incident support in Forest Service Regions 5 and 6 through 2028–2030. An older $1.1 million definitive contract (January 31, 2023) with the Forest Service covered Giant Sequoia Emergency Response mechanical treatments and product removal through December 2023. Beyond USDA vehicles, LTC Forestry received a $40,383 total small business set-aside definitive contract from the National Park Service on August 20, 2025, for windthrow tree removal at Lake Village in Yellowstone (deadline October 31, 2025).

LTC Forestry operates exclusively as a prime contractor; the vendor holds zero subcontract awards in the portfolio and therefore carries no named sub relationships. SCI-reportable service contract invoicing totaled $1.7 million in FY2024 across 0.6 FTEs delivered to federal customers, with zero sub-hours engagement (all work performed by prime staff). Government-paid hourly rates on SCI-reportable contracts ran a median of $1,544.22 per hour, with rates spanning the 10th percentile at $1,307.96/hr and the 90th percentile at $1,780.48/hr. These SCI figures represent only service contracts above the $150,000 reporting threshold and exclude goods, product sales, and the majority of LTC Forestry's forestry labor delivered on smaller task orders and purchase orders under the PSW Stewardship BPA.

Combined potential value across all 28 awards is $56 million, against $3.4 million obligated to date (6% execution rate), reflecting the large ceiling values on the multi-year IDIQ vehicles with the Interagency Fire Center and the uncalled potential on the PSW BPA.
