Michael D Moen

Michael D Moen, operating as Moen Timber Falling, is a California-based sole proprietorship specializing in timber falling and tree felling services for the federal government. Registered in SAM.gov since April 2004 and certified as a self-certified small disadvantaged business, the company provides critical forestry management and wildfire prevention support to federal agencies across California and New Mexico. Moen Timber Falling operates without major subcontractors, serving as a prime contractor exclusively and maintaining a focused business model centered on specialized timber harvesting and emergency response capabilities.

Moen Timber Falling has secured numerous firm fixed price delivery orders from the United States Department of Agriculture Forest Service, with awards ranging from approximately $2,900 to $69,258 in individual contract values. The company's work has been performed across multiple California locations, including Eureka, Yreka, Nevada City, Grass Valley, Clovis, and Willits, as well as in Albuquerque, New Mexico. These delivery orders have been issued through the Forest Service's Pacific Southwest Region (Region 5), the National Interagency Fire Center, and related fire and aviation management divisions. Contracts have focused on timber falling services, tree felling and removal work, specialized faller training modules, and emergency response forestry activities to support the agency's land management, wildfire prevention, and fire suppression missions. All awards identified in the contract history utilized firm fixed price contract structures and did not employ set-aside designations, indicating open and unrestricted competition. Moen Timber Falling consistently performed as the sole prime contractor across all delivery orders, with no evidence of subcontracting arrangements, demonstrating the company's capacity to execute forestry services independently and efficiently.

Moen Timber Falling maintains two active indefinite delivery contracts (IDCs), each valued at $250,000, established through the Department of Agriculture Forest Service's National Interagency Fire Center. The first IDC, awarded in June 2023, is structured as a multiple award vehicle designated as "VIPR I-BPA FOR FALLERS FOR WEST ZONE REGIONS 5 AND 6" and will remain active through June 2028. This IDC was issued with a total small business set-aside designation and employs firm fixed price contract structures for delivery orders. The IDCs facilitate on-demand procurement of timber falling and tree felling services across California and New Mexico, with particular emphasis on emergency response, wildfire prevention, and land management support across West Zone Regions 5 and 6, including coverage extending to the National Interagency Fire Center. Since establishing this relationship with the Forest Service, Moen Timber Falling has issued multiple delivery orders under these indefinite delivery vehicles, with accumulated task order values exceeding $195,000. The company's role under these IDCs positions it to provide flexible, rapid-response forestry resources to support federal land stewardship missions and all-hazard incident response operations across the western regions.
