Garrett Mcdaniel

Garrett Mcdaniel, doing business as Absolute Tree Service, is a minority-owned and self-certified small disadvantaged business operating as a sole proprietorship. The company provides forestry, land management, and equipment-related services to federal agencies, with a primary focus on environmental conservation and forest health activities. Absolute Tree Service is registered in SAM.gov through November 5, 2025, and specializes in supporting the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Forest Service, particularly in the Pacific Southwest Region of California.

The company has been awarded prime federal contracts involving site preparation, habitat restoration, and equipment procurement. Recent contract awards include a $250,800 firm fixed-price contract for site preparation in the Sierra National Forest, involving cutting dead trees, piling brush, and installing fire lines across approximately 132 acres. Another contract for $155,039.40 involved the procurement of an E35017 excavator, type 4, for the Department of Agriculture. These contracts are primarily small business set-aside awards, demonstrating the company's ability to compete effectively in federal procurement processes within forestry and land management domains. The contracts focus on critical environmental management tasks such as forest health improvement, wildland management, and supporting conservation efforts.

Absolute Tree Service holds a significant Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) with the Department of Agriculture Forest Service Pacific Southwest Region, valued at $50 million and valid through October 2032. This single-award BPA enables the company to provide stewardship services across California, including forest health, habitat restoration, fuels reduction, and various land management activities. The agreement allows for flexible task order issuance for projects such as tree planting, invasive species removal, and prescribed burning. With a nine-year performance period, the BPA establishes a comprehensive framework for the Forest Service to procure recurring forestry and environmental management services, leveraging competitive pricing and expedited procurement processes for ongoing regional conservation and land management needs.
