Linville Enterprises, LLC

Linville Enterprises, LLC, doing business as Chad Linville, is a sole-proprietor minority-owned and Hispanic American-owned small disadvantaged business based in Sweet Home, Oregon, that provides forestry stewardship, road maintenance, fuel break mowing, and equipment rental services to federal land management agencies as a prime contractor. The vendor operates almost exclusively on total small business set-asides and full-and-open procurements across the U.S. Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management.

The vendor's capability portfolio centers on land management and infrastructure maintenance in the Pacific Northwest, Idaho, and Nevada regions. Representative work includes a $192.3 thousand firm fixed-price purchase order from Forest Service Region 6 (awarded March 2026) for road maintenance spanning approximately 200 miles of roads on the Gold Beach and Powers Ranger Districts of the Rogue River-Siskiyou National Forest, encompassing grading, surface treatment, drainage maintenance, culvert cleaning, and snow removal; a $149.9 thousand purchase order from Forest Service Region 6 (September 2025) for roadside brushing, road surface repair, and drainage system improvements in the Siskiyou Mountains and Wild Rivers area; and a $51 thousand Bureau of Land Management Idaho Region purchase order (October 2025) for fuel break mowing across approximately 25 miles of roads in the Twin Falls District. The vendor also provides equipment rental — a $113.4 thousand purchase order from Forest Service Region 6 (September 2025) for log loader provision.

Customer concentration is extreme. The Forest Service Region 6 (Pacific Northwest Region) dominates both volume and dollars, accounting for 6 awards with $50.6 million combined potential value — almost the entire portfolio. This concentration is anchored by a single $50 million Blanket Purchase Agreement with Forest Service Region 6 running through October 2032 for stewardship services in Oregon and Washington. The Bureau of Land Management Oregon-Washington office places 5 awards valued at $1.2 million, the Forest Service Region 5 (Pacific Southwest Region) places 8 awards at $646 thousand, and the Bureau of Land Management Idaho Region and National Office round out the portfolio with single or minimal awards. The vendor places individual task orders against two indefinite delivery contracts — INL16PC00127 (5 task orders, $290 thousand combined potential value) and AG9AC7C160055 (4 task orders, $105 thousand combined potential value).

Activity accelerated recently — one award in 2020 to six in 2025, with two awards in 2026 so far — but the portfolio's cash-flow risk concentrates in the BPA. Combined potential value across all awards reaches $52.6 million, but only $1.2 million has been obligated (2% of potential value). Three awards totaling $437 thousand reach ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months and therefore face recompete. The vendor operates exclusively as a prime contractor with no sub-award footprint. NAICS concentration runs heavily to Support Activities for Forestry (17 awards) and Highway, Street, and Bridge Construction (4 awards), with PSC work split between natural resources conservation and land treatment practices (8 awards) and maintenance of government-owned facilities (5 awards).
