North Tree Enterprises, Inc.

North Tree Enterprises, Inc., doing business as North Tree Fire International, is a small-business prime contractor based in Monterey, California, that delivers forest stewardship, vegetation management, and fire-preparedness support services to federal land-management agencies, with 81 awards totaling $59 million in combined potential value across nineteen customer agencies over the past twenty-eight years.

North Tree is a for-profit Subchapter S corporation. The vendor operates exclusively as a prime contractor (100% of recent awards); it holds no subcontract positions. Most work falls under Total Small Business set-asides, though the vendor also competes full-and-open on full-value vehicles.

The vendor's capability footprint centers on forestry support services and vegetation management. Top NAICS classifications are Support Activities for Forestry (45 awards) and Other Apparel Accessories and Other Apparel Manufacturing (8 awards), with leading PSC codes reflecting Natural Resources/Conservation — Forest-Range Fire Suppression/Presuppression (32 awards) and Lease or Rental of Equipment — Fire Control Equipment (5 awards). Representative work includes a $219,994 firm-fixed-price purchase order from the Department of the Interior Fish and Wildlife Service (April 2022, completed September 2024) for vegetation mastication and removal at Sacramento River National Wildlife Refuge in Chico, California, under a Total Small Business set-aside; a $50 million single-award Blanket Purchase Agreement with the U.S. Forest Service, Pacific Southwest Region (October 2025, through October 2032) for stewardship services supporting Region 5 California operations on a full-and-open basis; and a $250,000 Total Small Business multiple-award Indefinite Delivery Contract with the National Interagency Fire Center (April 2025, through April 2028) for clerical support services for Region 13 on a national basis.

Customer concentration is extreme. The Department of Agriculture Forest Service R5-Pacific Southwest Region dominates the portfolio — six awards carrying $50.6 million in combined potential value, or 86% of all dollars across the vendor's entire footprint. The next-largest customer by dollars, the General Services Administration Federal Acquisition Service, carries only $2.5 million across two awards. The vendor serves six awards with the Occupational Safety and Health Review Commission (count-based ranking) but those awards carry minimal dollar value. Concentration by both award count and potential value reflects heavy dependence on the single Pacific Southwest Region BPA vehicle and a handful of historical small orders across Interior and other Forest Service regions.

Vehicle position consists of one active high-value BPA (the Pacific Southwest Stewardship BPA at $50 million ceiling through 2032), two smaller Indefinite Delivery Contracts with the National Interagency Fire Center ($500,000 and $250,000 ceilings respectively, both through April 2028), and seven task orders under the Federal Supply Schedule GS07F5872R ($532 thousand combined potential value). Award activity is sparse — one award in 2022, one in 2025, one in 2026 — indicating either sporadic federal demand for North Tree's specific capabilities or limited pursue intensity. No recent task-order activity under the IDIQs is present in the source, suggesting the vehicles are in early stages post-award or unused to date.

The vendor faces significant recompete exposure. The $219,994 Sacramento River contract was closed in September 2024. The two National Interagency Fire Center vehicles (IDIQ and VIPR I-BPA) both reach expiration on April 17, 2028, representing potential recompete for $750,000 in ceiling value.
