Louisiana Forestry Solutions LLC

Louisiana Forestry Solutions LLC, a small business limited liability company based in Natchitoches, Louisiana, delivers mechanical and chemical vegetation management, habitat restoration, and fuels reduction services to the Department of Agriculture Forest Service and the Department of the Interior Fish and Wildlife Service as a prime contractor operating exclusively under Total Small Business set-asides. The vendor competes entirely as a prime across all ninety-six awards in the source footprint, with zero subcontract exposure.

Customer concentration sits heavily with the USDA Forest Service Southern Region (Region 8), which accounts for 78 awards and $43.4 million of the vendor's combined potential value across all five customer agencies—effectively 97.5% of all awards and 97.5% of all dollars. The remaining exposure splits among the primary USDA Forest Service organization (14 awards, $919 thousand), the Department of the Interior Fish and Wildlife Service, and subordinate Fish and Wildlife regional offices (4 awards combined, $151 thousand). The two rankings track perfectly; there is no tension between volume and dollars.

The vendor's capability portfolio centers on concrete mechanical and chemical forestry work: drum chopping for site preparation (hundreds of acres per task), midstory removal and mulching to improve habitat for the threatened Red-cockaded Woodpecker and Louisiana Pine Snake, bush hogging, mastication of firelines, and chemical herbicide treatment for invasive vegetation. Representative work includes a $205,690 BPA call from USDA Forest Service for site preparation drum chopping on 614 acres in the Winn Ranger District (June 2025), a $249,840 call for midstory removal to improve Louisiana Pine Snake habitat (May 2024), and a $154,660 call for midstory and understory mulching across multiple acres to enhance Red-cockaded Woodpecker habitat (October 2024). A $50,000 definitive contract with the Department of the Interior Fish and Wildlife Service covered 100 acres of mulching at Felsenthal National Wildlife Refuge in Arkansas (September 2023).

Louisiana Forestry Solutions holds two active BPAs with the USDA Forest Service Southern Region, each valued at $7.5 million. The first, awarded November 2, 2022, with an ultimate completion date of November 30, 2027, has generated 29 task orders totaling $2.9 million in combined potential value through January 2026. The second, awarded September 1, 2025, with an ultimate completion date of August 31, 2030, explicitly supports "The Forests Project" and disaster recovery from hurricanes Beryl and recent flooding, with authorized services including mulching, mastication, bushhogging, drum chopping, site preparation, road maintenance, fuels reduction, and Red-cockaded Woodpecker monitoring. A third vehicle, the Kisatchie NF Vegetation Management Services 2017-2022 BPA, generated 31 task orders before expiration, carrying $1 million in combined potential value. Two additional indefinite delivery contracts (127K1118D0004 and 127K1120D0011) account for 13 and 11 task orders respectively, totaling $1.3 million and $676 thousand in combined potential value.

Activity shows modest recent volume with seven awards in 2025 and three in 2026, declining from a peak of thirteen awards in 2023. Only three awards (combined potential value $268 thousand) reach ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months, indicating minimal near-term recompete exposure. The vendor's obligated dollars across all awards total $6.1 million (14% of the $44.5 million combined potential value), suggesting contract execution has captured less than one-seventh of the total ceiling authority on its vehicles—typical positioning for a vendor with multi-year, indefinite-delivery framework agreements. NAICS concentration sits in Support Activities for Forestry (code 113300, 82 awards) and to a lesser extent Highway, Street, and Bridge Construction (12 awards for road maintenance work). Primary PSC codes align: Natural Resources/Conservation–Other Forest/Range Improvements (59 awards) and Seed Collection/Production (22 awards).
