Michael D Moen

Michael D Moen, operating as Moen Timber Falling, a California-based sole proprietorship self-certified as a small disadvantaged business, delivers timber falling and tree felling services exclusively as a prime contractor to the Department of Agriculture Forest Service, with zero subcontract activity and a primary focus on wildfire prevention, emergency response, and land management across West Zone Regions 5 and 6 (California and New Mexico).

Moen Timber Falling's customer concentration is extremely narrow and endemic to its business model. The Department of Agriculture Forest Service accounts for 64 of 67 awards (96% of the portfolio) across five distinct sub-components: the Pacific Southwest Region (Region 5) holds 29 awards valued at $1.1 million; the National Interagency Fire Center (NIFC) holds 13 awards valued at $1.3 million; Fire and Aviation Management holds 14 awards valued at $482 thousand; the Forest Service broadly holds 6 awards valued at $229 thousand; and the Pacific Northwest Region (Region 6) holds 2 awards valued at $53 thousand. The vendor's portfolio is dominated by small, task-order-driven delivery orders averaging roughly $49 thousand per award. The National Interagency Fire Center, despite placing fewer orders than Region 5, anchors the largest potential-value share due to two indefinite-delivery contracts (IDCs) awarded on February 6, 2026 (ceiling $500 thousand) and June 2, 2023 (ceiling $250 thousand), both set aside for total small business and running through June 2, 2028. Moen Timber Falling sits on four parent IDVs, with 23 task orders drawn under IDC AG9J61B177283 ($628 thousand combined potential value), 20 orders under IDC 129J6120T7237 ($725 thousand), 10 under IDC 12569R23T7077 ($482 thousand), and 4 under IDC 12569R26T8299 ($48 thousand).

Recent activity shows sharp contraction: the vendor captured 12 awards in 2022, declining to 7 in 2023, 3 in 2024, 1 in 2025, and 5 in 2026 through September. Combined potential value across the 67-award portfolio is $3.3 million, with $1.9 million obligated to date (59% of potential value). All work is firm fixed price, full-and-open competitive (non set-aside) delivery orders except where the parent IDCs carry total small business set-asides. Work is performed in Eureka, Yreka, Nevada City, Grass Valley, Clovis, and Willits, California, and Albuquerque, New Mexico, reflecting the geographic footprint of Forest Service emergency and land-management missions. Representative delivery orders include a $52,608 order from Region 5 in September 2025 for timber falling in Clovis, a $69,258 order from Region 5 in August 2024 for timber falling support, and recent September 2026 orders of $23,009 and $3,287 under the VIPR I-BPA for Fallers for West Zone Regions 5 and 6. The vendor specializes exclusively in PSC Natural Resources/Conservation—Forest-Range Fire Suppression/Presuppression (66 of 67 awards) and NAICS Support Activities for Forestry, with no diversification into adjacent federal markets.
