Nathan Large

Nathan Large, doing business as Florence Truck & Tractor, a self-certified small disadvantaged business sole proprietorship based in Florence, Oregon, operates exclusively as a prime contractor delivering mechanical mowing, pasture maintenance, vegetation control, and hazardous fuels reduction services to federal land management agencies across the Pacific Northwest under total small business set-asides and full-and-open competition.

Florence Truck & Tractor's footprint centers on land stewardship work for the Department of the Interior's Bureau of Land Management and Fish and Wildlife Service, the Department of Agriculture Forest Service, and the Army Corps of Engineers. The portfolio spans 85 prime awards with combined potential value of $54.4 million across ten customer agencies. Customer concentration is extreme: the Fish and Wildlife Service Region 3 hazardous fuels reduction BPA alone carries $49.5 million potential value (91% of total portfolio dollars), while the Bureau of Land Management Oregon-Washington Region anchors recurring volume with 39 awards valued at $2.3 million combined. The top five customers by potential value account for 98% of the portfolio. By award count, BLM Oregon-Washington dominates with 39 awards, followed by Forest Service Pacific Northwest Region with 12 awards.

Florence Truck & Tractor holds five active parent indefinite delivery vehicles. The largest is the $49.5 million multiple-award Fish and Wildlife Service hazardous fuels reduction BPA for mechanical clearing, chemical and herbicide application, and vegetation control nationwide through March 31, 2029. A $500,000 single-award BPA with BLM's Idaho Region for Dean Creek Elk Viewing Area pasture management runs through May 31, 2030. A $450,000 multiple-award BPA with Fish and Wildlife Service Region 1 covers large equipment and operator services for the Willamette Valley National Wildlife Refuge Complex through January 17, 2027. A $250,000 multiple-award National Interagency Fire Center vehicle for heavy equipment in West Zone Regions 5 and 6 runs through August 1, 2028. Recent work includes a $194,149 purchase order from Forest Service ENDIST Portland (July 2026) for rough and fire-precaution mowing within the Willamette Valley Project, a $138,684 total small business purchase order from BLM Oregon-Washington (June 2026) for mowing at the Horning Tree Seed Orchard, and a $68,540 BPA call from BLM Idaho Region (August 2026) for Dean Creek Elk Viewing Area maintenance mowing through September 2027.

Activity is modest and cyclical—six awards in 2026 follow a two-year low of two to three annually in 2023 through 2025. Only one award (combined potential value $69 thousand) faces ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months, limiting near-term recompete risk. Florence Truck & Tractor operates under NAICS codes 115310 (Support Activities for Forestry), 782500 (Landscaping Services), and 111335 (Crop Harvesting), with work concentrated in natural resources conservation, other forest and range improvements, and wildlife management. The vendor reports no subcontracting relationships and operates exclusively as a prime contractor.

I am in the land clearing business. Brush and field mowing, forest fuels reduction, firebreaks, and meadow maintanance are some of the things I typically do.
