Loring Scot

Loring Scot, a for-profit limited liability company headquartered in Corvallis, Oregon, provides botanical surveys, fungi inventories, ecological assessments, and natural resources consulting services to federal land management agencies as a prime contractor on small-business set-aside and full-and-open task orders. The vendor competes predominantly under total small business set-asides across its prime footprint.

Loring Scot's capability portfolio centers on field-based ecological and botanical survey work: vascular plant surveys, rare and sensitive plant inventories, invasive species monitoring, fungi and lichen biomonitoring, and GIS-referenced species documentation and habitat characterization to support federal land stewardship and environmental compliance. Representative work includes a $819,209 purchase order from the Bureau of Land Management's Oregon-Washington Region for special status botany surveys in the South Zone near Eugene, Oregon (awarded April 2025, extending through April 2030 with an option period), a $227,760 BPA call from the Forest Service's Pacific Northwest Region for botanical surveys and fungi inventories at Rock Creek and Threemile in the Klamath Falls area (awarded April 2024, completing January 2026), and a $171,522 BPA call from the same region for natural resource surveys supporting fuels treatment project analysis (awarded September 2024, completing July 2026). The vendor holds SAM.gov registration dating to 2003.

Customer concentration is extreme. The top five customer entities account for 64 percent of awards by count. The Bureau of Land Management's Oregon-Washington Region dominates by award volume (122 awards, $5.9 million combined potential value), but the Forest Service's Washington Office Acquisitions anchors the potential-value ranking with a single $50 million single-award BPA for integrated land management services across all Forest Service locations through March 2033. The Forest Service's Pacific Northwest Region (Region 6) represents 50 awards valued at $12.3 million. The BLM's National Office holds three awards valued at $12 million combined. This split between high-volume, low-dollar BLM task orders in Oregon-Washington and a massive single Forest Service IDIQ creates a portfolio structure where dollars and award count diverge significantly.

The vendor holds four named parent vehicles: the $50 million Land Management Integrated Resources National BPA (LMIR) with the Forest Service, running through March 2033 and carrying no set-aside designation; and three $4 million single-award BPAs with the Bureau of Land Management for botanical services in California, the Great Basin, and the Pacific Northwest and Idaho regions, all awarded June 2024 and running through June 2029. Against these vehicles, the top five task-order parents are Indefinite Delivery Contract INL06PC90041 (49 task orders, $994 thousand), BPA 1204N019A0005 (28 task orders, $1.8 million), BPA AG04N0B140007 (24 task orders, $905 thousand), Indefinite Delivery Contract HAC035Z00 (20 task orders, $492 thousand), and Indefinite Delivery Contract INL10PC00649 (18 task orders, $531 thousand). Activity is flat to declining — four awards in 2022, ten in 2023, eleven in 2024, two in 2025, and two year-to-date in 2026 — with minimal recompete pressure inside the next twenty-four months (two awards, $74 thousand combined potential value completing).

The vendor operates exclusively as a prime contractor (100% of awards) with no subcontract footprint. Work is performed across the Pacific Northwest, Idaho, Great Basin, and California regions, with administrative oversight at Corvallis and field operations conducted in Oregon and Washington. Award concentration across NAICS codes reflects this specialization: Other Scientific and Technical Consulting Services (133 awards), Support Activities for Forestry (54 awards), and Environmental Consulting Services (45 awards) account for most of the volume.

Specialization is sensitive plant/fungi/lichen/bryophyte surveys and specimen identifications. Also conduct aspects of wetland delineations. Work is performed primarily in PNW United States but have experience throughout the western United States.
