Miller Timber Services, Inc.

Miller Timber Services, Inc., a for-profit forestry and emergency services contractor based in Philomath, Oregon, operates as a pure prime contractor supplying wildland fire suppression equipment, specialized heavy machinery, trained Type 2 firefighter crews, and land management services to the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service across eight regional operations and the National Interagency Fire Center, competing predominantly under Total Small Business set-asides on delivery orders and BPA calls with a subsidiary focus on open, full-and-open competition.

Miller Timber Services executes forestry stewardship, timber harvesting, fuels reduction, hazard tree mitigation, and wildfire incident response as its core service portfolio. Representative prime contract work includes a $1.14 million Total Small Business BPA call awarded August 6, 2025 by Forest Service Region 6 (Pacific Northwest) for post-fire hazard mitigation and road restoration on the McKenzie River Ranger District following the Lookout Fire, a $1.23 million BPA call from Region 3 (Southwestern) in March 2026 for crest switchback stewardship work in New Mexico, and a $40 million Indefinite Delivery Contract for forestry stewardship services across BLM Oregon-Washington Region lands awarded August 28, 2026 under a Total Small Business set-aside running through August 2036. The vendor also holds a $50 million Land Management Integrated Resources Blanket Purchase Agreement with the Forest Service extending through March 2033, and sixteen $250,000 Total Small Business set-aside Indefinite Delivery Contracts awarded by the National Interagency Fire Center in February 2026 covering miscellaneous heavy equipment (feller bunchers, mulchers, road graders, skidders) and water handling resources across Forest Service Regions 1–9 with performance periods through 2028–2030.

Customer concentration is extreme: the Department of Agriculture Forest Service accounts for 680 of 942 total awards (72% by count), with Region 6 (Pacific Northwest) alone representing 367 awards worth $99.9 million. When measured by potential value, Forest Service work represents roughly 93% of the combined $567.1 million portfolio. Within the service-supplier tier, the National Interagency Fire Center anchors 76 awards valued at $61.1 million, while Regions 1, 2, and 3 each contribute between $57.7 million and $58.8 million. The vendor's primary parent vehicle, Indefinite Delivery Contract 1202SC22T2307, has generated 253 task orders worth $33.2 million in combined potential value, establishing it as the dominant delivery mechanism. Activity has remained moderate and stable: 107 awards in 2022, declining to 76 in 2023, recovering to 135 in 2024, then settling to 119 in 2025 and 110 so far in 2026. Only two awards face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, carrying combined potential value of $1.6 million, presenting minimal recompete exposure in that window.

Miller Timber Services operates as a fully vertically integrated prime contractor. Across all 942 awards, the vendor holds 100% as prime (no subcontractor footprint in the award record). SCI-reported federal service contract invoicing for FY2022–FY2024 totaled $13.2 million ($4.8 million FY2022 on 9.1 FTEs; $2.7 million FY2023 on 5.8 FTEs; $5.7 million FY2024 on 6.5 FTEs). Median government-paid hourly rates ran approximately $299 per hour, with the 10th percentile at $195/hr and 90th percentile at $587/hr, reflecting a labor mix of equipment operators, technical forestry specialists, and management-level personnel. Across SCI-reportable prime contracts, subcontractors performed zero percent of total contractor hours, confirming the vendor's asset-intensive, in-house delivery model centered on owned specialized equipment and direct personnel rather than subcontract teaming. The company's primary NAICS footprint is Support Activities for Forestry (238210), with secondary codes in equipment rental (238910) and timber tract operations (113110), distributed across 881, 21, and 5 awards respectively.

Set-aside posture runs heavily toward Total Small Business designations: 881 of 942 awards carry this designation, reflecting the vendor's established position as a small business competitor on Forest Service and interagency fire suppression vehicles. The vendor competes successfully in open, non-set-aside procurement as well, evidenced by numerous full-and-open delivery orders and purchase orders across regions, though set-asides dominate the portfolio by volume and dollar value. The vendor maintains no named subcontractor relationships and performs all contracted hours in-house, positioning it as a self-contained service provider rather than a teaming prime or feeder to larger contractors.
