North Pacific Forestry, Inc.

North Pacific Forestry, Inc., doing business as North Pacific Forestry, is a minority-owned, self-certified small disadvantaged business that provides wildland firefighting, fuels reduction, forest management, and emergency response services to the USDA Forest Service as a prime contractor across Western regions. The Salem, Oregon–based company operates as a Subchapter S Corporation and competes predominantly outside of set-asides, although it holds several total small business set-aside IDIQs through the National Interagency Fire Center.

North Pacific Forestry's federal work centers entirely on the USDA Forest Service across Regions 1, 4, 5, 6, and 10, with near-complete customer concentration. The top five Forest Service regions (Pacific Northwest R6, Pacific Southwest R5, national Forest Service, Intermountain R4, and Northern R1) account for 85 percent of award count by the source's measure. By potential value, the National Interagency Fire Center dominates: ten IDIQ awards carry $193.7 million in combined ceiling, anchoring the vendor's portfolio. The remaining active customer base—regional Forest Service offices—places task orders in the $18,000 to $1 million range against these IDIQs. Delivery orders from R6 (221 awards, $24.4 million) and R5 (99 awards, $9.4 million) show sustained, high-volume ordering against standing vehicles.

North Pacific Forestry holds multiple parent contract vehicles, all total small business set-asides issued by the National Interagency Fire Center. Four primary vehicles carry $250,000 ceilings each: water handling contracts for Regions 5 and 6 (both extended through 2029–2030), and a chipper equipment contract for Regions 5 and 6 (through May 2029). Two additional VIPR Incident Blanket Purchase Agreements for water handling in Regions 5 and 6 extend through June 2030. The largest orders flow against two unnamed IDIQs (1202SC21T2430 with 143 task orders worth $22.3 million and 1202SC22T2308 with 108 task orders worth $16.1 million), which represent Type 2 and Type 2-IA wildland firefighting crew contracts. Representative work includes a $129.1 million delivery order from R6 for Type 2 firefighting crews (awarded June 2026, completion May 2027), a $1.021 million delivery order from R6 for water handling services (July 2025), and a $349.8 million delivery order from R5 for water handling and equipment (September 2025, completion May 2026).

Activity shows sustained high volume: 123 awards in 2024, 87 in 2022, and 80 in 2023, with 54 awards recorded in 2025 and 10 in 2026 year-to-date (reflecting the recent snapshot date of July 15, 2026). Combined potential value across 536 prime awards totals $251 million, with $56 million obligated (22 percent execution rate). Award portfolio concentration by NAICS: 530 of 536 awards fall under Support Activities for Forestry (NAICS 115310), with 513 of 536 by PSC under Natural Resources/Conservation–Forest-Range Fire Suppression/Presuppression. The vendor operates exclusively as a prime contractor; no sub-award footprint is present in the source. Place of performance spans Western regions—Flagstaff, Arizona; Wenatchee, Washington; Medford, Oregon; Yreka and Eureka, California; Denver and Durango, Colorado; Albuquerque, New Mexico; and multiple other Forest Service jurisdictions—with administrative headquarters in Salem, Oregon.
