Nathan Large

Nathan Large, operating as Florence Truck & Tractor, a self-certified small disadvantaged business sole proprietorship based in Florence, Oregon, delivers land management and vegetation control services to Department of the Interior and Department of Agriculture agencies exclusively as a prime contractor operating under total small business set-asides and full-and-open competition. The vendor's work centers on mechanical mowing, pasture maintenance, hazardous fuels reduction, and meadow restoration across federal lands in the Pacific Northwest using tractor-mounted flail mowers, rotary mowers, skid steer equipment, and tracked machinery.

Florence Truck & Tractor's customer base concentrates sharply on Department of the Interior bureaus. The Bureau of Land Management's Oregon-Washington Region accounts for 39 awards (combined potential value $2.3 million), followed by the Forest Service's Pacific Northwest Region (12 awards, $321 thousand), the BLM's Idaho Region (7 awards, $949 thousand), and Fish and Wildlife Service Region 1 (4 awards, $450 thousand) — together covering 79% of recent awards. However, dollar concentration is extreme: the Fish and Wildlife Service Region 3 holds a single $49.5 million multiple-award BPA for national hazardous fuels reduction services, which represents 92% of the vendor's combined potential value across all 82 awards. Recent work includes a $138.7 thousand total small business purchase order from BLM's Oregon-Washington Region (June 2026) for mowing at the Horning Tree Seed Orchard near Colton, Oregon, covering 153 acres of orchard and 123 acres of fallow ground; a $30.6 thousand total small business purchase order from the Forest Service's Willamette National Forest (April 2026) for annual mowing at Westfir and Buckhead Seed Orchards; and a $157.7 thousand total small business purchase order from BLM's Idaho Region (May 2024) for mowing and wetland maintenance at West Eugene Wetlands, exercisable through August 2029.

Florence Truck & Tractor holds three active Indefinite Delivery Vehicles: the $49.5 million multiple-award BPA with Fish and Wildlife Service Region 3 for hazardous fuels reduction nationwide (awarded March 2024, running through March 31, 2029); a $500,000 single-award BPA with BLM's Idaho Region for pasture management at Dean Creek Elk Viewing Area in the Coos Bay District (awarded April 2025, through May 31, 2030); and a $450,000 multiple-award BPA with Fish and Wildlife Service Region 1 for large equipment and operator services supporting the Willamette Valley National Wildlife Refuge Complex (awarded January 2022, through January 17, 2027). Task orders against legacy BPAs with BLM (INL13PC00157: 9 task orders, $210 thousand; 140L4320A0022: 6 task orders, $260 thousand) represent the bulk of the vendor's small-dollar repeat work. Activity has remained flat at two to three awards annually over the past five years, with only one award (combined potential value $69 thousand) reaching ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, representing minimal recompete exposure despite the size of the Fish and Wildlife Service Region 3 vehicle. The vendor's work spans four NAICS codes (Support Activities for Forestry, Landscaping Services, Crop Harvesting, and Site Preparation Contractors) and operates across Oregon and Washington public lands, wildlife refuges, and national forests, with no subcontracting relationships recorded.

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.
