Pacific Ridgeline Forestry LLC

Pacific Ridgeline Forestry LLC, a woman-owned, self-certified small disadvantaged business headquartered in Springfield, Oregon, delivers forestry services and heavy equipment rentals to the U.S. Forest Service as a prime contractor across multiple western regions. The company competes predominantly under total small business set-asides through the National Interagency Fire Center's Virtual Incident Procurement (VIPR) system and holds a portfolio of 29 indefinite delivery vehicles valued at $250,000 each.

Pacific Ridgeline Forestry operates almost exclusively within the federal forestry and wildfire management ecosystem. The company's service portfolio centers on equipment rental for forest stewardship, wildfire suppression, and emergency response: heavy equipment task forces (logging trucks, front-end loaders, log loaders, excavators, dump trucks, chippers, skid steers, road graders, masticators, feller bunchers, and dozers), water handling resources (water tenders, engines, and potable/gray water truck systems), specialized support services (chainsaw repair, mechanic services, weed washing units, mobile communications, mobile laundry, and ground personnel such as fallers and equipment operators), and landscape stewardship services under blanket purchase agreements. Recent representative work includes a $1.64 million delivery order for Type 1 chippers to the Forest Service Pacific Southwest Region (August 2024), a $1.357 million purchase order for self-loading chippers to Region 6 (August 2024), a $903 thousand BPA call for Sisters Ranger District stewardship on the Deschutes National Forest (March 2025 with modifications), a $664 thousand Red Salmon Stewardship contract on the Klamath National Forest (July 2024), and a $630 thousand delivery order for vegetation management support in Roseburg, Oregon (September 2025).

Customer concentration is acute and stable. The Department of Agriculture Forest Service accounts for 555 of 578 awards (96% of total) and an estimated $156 million of the $158.7 million combined potential value. Within USDA Forest Service, Pacific Northwest Region (Region 6) leads with 299 awards and $73.9 million in potential value, followed by Pacific Southwest Region (Region 5) with 97 awards and $60 million. The National Interagency Fire Center commands 116 awards and $18.9 million. The source data covers activities spanning 2014 to July 2026, with recent volume (2023–2025) running at 89–93 awards annually and declining to 33 awards year-to-date in 2026. The company has obligated $38.5 million across its portfolio to date—24% of combined potential value—indicating substantial utilization of existing vehicles.

Pacific Ridgeline Forestry's vehicle position is extensive. The top five parent vehicles by task-order count include Indefinite Delivery Contract 12569R23T7082 (64 task orders, $2.8 million combined value), Blanket Purchase Agreement AG04H1B177374 (52 task orders, $1.4 million), and Indefinite Delivery Contract 1204H120T7081 (43 task orders, $1.4 million). The broader VIPR portfolio encompasses 29 separate IDVs covering regional and zone-specific equipment and service categories: heavy equipment task forces for Regions 1–6, water handling units for regions and zones, chipper services, mechanic support, weed washing units, vehicle-with-driver services, mobile communications, chainsaw repair, fallers, miscellaneous heavy equipment for specific regions and zones, mobile laundry and sleeper units, GIS units, and helicopter operations support, with ceilings of $250,000 to $750,000 and performance periods extending through 2028–2030. Task order activity across these vehicles reflects operational integration into the Forest Service's incident procurement framework, with individual orders ranging from thousands to hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Activity has grown from 58 awards in 2022 to peak at 93 in both 2024 and 2025 before declining to 33 year-to-date in 2026. No recompete cliff data is provided in the source, but the portfolio suggests substantial task-order renewal as existing VIPR vehicles approach their ultimate completion dates in 2028–2030. The company does not hold sub-contractor relationships on federal contracts; 100% of awards name Pacific Ridgeline Forestry as prime.

By NAICS, Support Activities for Forestry (508 awards) and Construction, Mining, and Forestry Machinery Equipment Rental and Leasing (49 awards) dominate the portfolio. By PSC code, Natural Resources/Conservation–Forest-Range Fire Suppression/Presuppression accounts for 511 awards, with equipment rental PSCs accounting for the remainder. The company operates almost entirely on total small business set-asides under VIPR vehicles awarded by the National Interagency Fire Center, with no full-and-open competition in the visible award footprint. Recent delivery orders from Region 6 and Region 5 show the company competing successfully for individual task orders without set-aside designations, suggesting it also pursues open procurements against its underlying IDV vehicles.
