North Zone Fallers, Inc.

North Zone Fallers, Inc., a self-identified Division of the same corporate entity, is an SBA-certified HUBZone small business that provides tree felling, brush clearing, forest thinning, hazardous tree removal, vegetation management, and related wildland fire support services to the U.S. Forest Service as a prime contractor on a 100% basis, competing predominantly in full-and-open delivery orders against multiple pre-priced indefinite-delivery vehicles through the Virtual Incident Procurement (VIPR) system.

The company is headquartered in Etna, California and operates across U.S. Forest Service regions in the western United States, primarily Regions 5 (Pacific Southwest) and 6 (Pacific Northwest), with secondary exposure to Regions 3 (Southwestern) and 4 (Intermountain). The vendor's capability portfolio centers entirely on specialized forestry labor and equipment for federal land management and wildfire suppression: faller crews, chipper equipment and operations, mobile chainsaw repair service trailers, water handling equipment and tenders, and incident response support. Recent delivery orders exemplify the breadth—a $143,582 order from Region 5 (September 2025) for tree felling and vegetation management in Eureka, California; a $171,843 order from the same region (July 2024) for comprehensive forestry services; and numerous smaller orders in the $16,000–$69,000 range for seasonal brush clearing and hazardous tree removal across California national forests.

Customer concentration is extreme and single-mission. The Department of Agriculture Forest Service R5-Pacific Southwest Region accounts for 205 of 393 total awards (52%) and $11.3 million of $24 million combined potential value (47%). The National Interagency Fire Center contributes 53 awards valued at $5.1 million, and the broader Forest Service Fire and Aviation Management program adds 89 awards worth $4.7 million. Together, these three customer entities represent 347 awards (88%) and $21.1 million (88%) of the vendor's federal footprint. The remaining 46 awards are scattered across Regional offices and a handful of other Forest Service entities. This concentration reflects North Zone Fallers' niche positioning as a specialized, regionally anchored faller and equipment provider for the Forest Service's preseason incident management and fuels reduction missions.

North Zone Fallers holds five active IDIQs through the National Interagency Fire Center, all awarded in 2023–2026 with ceilings of $250,000 to $500,000 each and firm fixed-price structures. The vehicle portfolio includes fallers for West Zone Regions 5 and 6 (June 2, 2028 completion), chipper services for Regions 5 and 6 (May 28, 2029), mobile chainsaw repair trailers for Regions 5 and 6 (April 24, 2029), and water handling equipment for Region 5 (June 4, 2030). These vehicles, established as total small business set-asides through VIPR, serve as the primary contracting mechanism; 76 to 70 task orders per vehicle demonstrate consistent demand. Place of performance spans wildland zones across Eureka, Redding, Yreka, Sonora, Quincy, Susanville, and Oroville in California, plus Jerome, Idaho and Silver City, New Mexico.

Award activity has declined year over year: 60 awards in 2022, declining to 8 in 2026 (through mid-August). The combined potential value across all 393 awards totals $24 million, with $17.3 million (72%) obligated to date. The vendor competes exclusively in the "Support Activities for Forestry" NAICS (391 of 393 awards) under PSC Natural Resources/Conservation codes, with no presence in any other federal marketplace or customer agency outside the Forest Service ecosystem.
