Louisiana Forestry Solutions LLC

Louisiana Forestry Solutions LLC, a small business limited liability company based in Natchitoches, Louisiana, provides mechanical and chemical vegetation management, habitat restoration, and land stewardship services to the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service and the Department of the Interior Fish and Wildlife Service exclusively as a prime contractor under Total Small Business set-asides.

The vendor operates under primary NAICS 113110 (Support Activities for Forestry) and carries a portfolio of 98 prime awards, all set-aside work, with no subcontract footprint. The company delivers drum chopping, site preparation, mulching, mastication, bushhogging, midstory removal, fuels reduction, and chemical herbicide treatment across national forests and wildlife refuges, with particular expertise in habitat restoration for threatened and endangered species including the Red-cockaded Woodpecker and Louisiana Pine Snake. Representative work includes a $149,950 fuels reduction and mulching call for the Kisatchie Ranger District (June 2023), a $250,000 mastication of firelines or landlines call for fire risk mitigation (May 2023), a $249,840 Louisiana Pine Snake habitat improvement call through midstory removal (May 2024), and a $205,690 site preparation drum chopping call covering 614 acres in the Winn Ranger District (June 2025).

The vendor's customer concentration is nearly absolute. The Department of Agriculture Forest Service Region 8-Southern Region accounts for 78 awards and $43.4 million of the combined $44.7 million potential value across all work. The remaining 20 awards, worth $1.3 million combined, are distributed across the Forest Service (non-regional), the Department of the Interior Fish and Wildlife Service Region 9 Headquarters, Fish and Wildlife Service Headquarters Region 4, and Fish and Wildlife Service (unspecified region). This concentration reflects the vendor's strategic focus on Kisatchie National Forest operations and Southern Region vegetation management.

Louisiana Forestry Solutions holds two active BPAs with the Forest Service Southern Region, each valued at $7.5 million. The first, awarded November 2, 2022, with ultimate completion November 30, 2027, covers vegetation management and wildlife protection services on the Kisatchie National Forest; 29 documented task orders have been issued against it through January 2026, ranging from $3,500 to $250,000 per order and cumulatively exceeding $3.4 million. The second BPA, awarded September 1, 2025, with ultimate completion August 31, 2030, authorizes vegetation management and biological services for National Forests and Grasslands in Texas, with explicit focus on disaster recovery from Hurricane Beryl and recent flooding. Task orders under these vehicles cover drum chopping, mulching, mastication, site preparation, fuels reduction, and Red-cockaded Woodpecker monitoring. The vendor also operates under legacy IDIQ vehicles, including Kisatchie NF Vegetation Management Services 2017-2022 (31 task orders, $1 million combined value) and Indefinite Delivery Contract 127K1118D0004 (13 task orders, $1.3 million).

Activity trajectory has contracted in recent years. The vendor executed 13 awards in 2023, declining to 9 in 2024, 7 in 2025, and 5 year-to-date through August 2026. Only 2 awards with completion dates falling within the next twenty-four months carry combined potential value of $215 thousand, creating minimal recompete exposure in that window. However, the $7.5 million BPA vehicles awarded in 2022 and 2025 provide multi-year revenue stability through task-order issuance, with the 2025 Texas-focused BPA running through August 2030. The source notes $6.3 million in combined dollars obligated across all awards (14% of combined potential value), indicating a backlog of active work against these vehicles. Performance locations span Louisiana (Bentley, Boyce, Pineville, Provencal, Winnfield) and northern Texas (New Waverly), with work concentrated on the Kisatchie National Forest across Winn, Calcasieu, and Kisatchie ranger districts.
