Parker Land & Timber Co Inc.

Parker Land & Timber Co Inc., a small business Subchapter S corporation based in Malvern, Arkansas, provides timber sale preparation, forest inventory assessment, and tree marking services to the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service as a prime contractor exclusively under total small business set-asides and full-and-open designations. The company operates 100% as a prime across its federal footprint with no subcontract activity, concentrating its entire portfolio on the Forest Service's Southern Region.

Parker Land & Timber's customer base is singularly concentrated. The Department of Agriculture Forest Service Region 8 (Southern Region) accounts for 80 awards totaling $25 million in combined potential value, with an additional 9 awards valued at $377 thousand to the broader Forest Service entity, representing 100% of the vendor's award coverage. This concentration reflects the company's specialized positioning as a regional forestry contractor for the Southern Region's national forests across Arkansas, Mississippi, Oklahoma, and Florida.

The vendor's concrete service portfolio centers on timber sale preparation activities including variable plot cruise data collection using PCM protocols, leave tree marking for seed trees and thinning operations, common stand examinations (CSE) using established forest inventory protocols, timber marking for harvest operations, and commercial thinning support. Representative work includes a $91,305.57 delivery order awarded August 10, 2025, for timber sales preparation on the Poteau/Cold Springs Ranger District of the Ouachita National Forest under a firm fixed-price structure; a $86,922 delivery order issued April 2, 2024, for timber marking and cruising services at Jessieville, Arkansas; a $78,811.86 BPA call awarded June 11, 2022, for tree marking, timber removal, and construction material services across the Ouachita and Ozark-St. Francis National Forests; and multiple smaller task orders for plot cruises, tree marking, and common stand examinations across ranger districts in the region.

Parker Land & Timber holds two primary parent indefinite delivery vehicles with the Forest Service Southern Region. A $10 million multiple award IDIQ for timber sale preparation services, designated total small business set-aside and valid through December 31, 2026, has supported thirty-one delivery orders ranging from $3,060 to $112,000, with cumulative task order obligations exceeding $1.5 million since award in December 2021. A $7.5 million multiple award Blanket Purchase Agreement for common stand exam services across four national forests, designated no set-aside and expiring November 3, 2026, has generated seven task orders for forest plot inventory work. The vendor's top three parent vehicles—the Ouachita and Ozark NF Timber Sales 2016-2021 vehicle (41 task orders, $2 million combined potential value), Indefinite Delivery Contract 12444222D0010 (36 task orders, $1.6 million), and Blanket Purchase Agreement 12444222A0003 (7 task orders, $275 thousand)—account for the bulk of recent delivery order activity.

Activity has been variable. The vendor received ten awards in 2022, nine in 2023, sixteen in 2024, three in 2025, and five in 2026 through September 30. Across the full footprint of eighty-nine awards since first award in December 2016, only five awards with ultimate completion dates in the next twenty-four months carry combined potential value of $48 thousand, indicating minimal near-term recompete exposure. The vendor's NAICS and PSC profile is homogeneous: all eighty-nine awards fall under Support Activities for Forestry (primary NAICS), with eighty-seven classified under Natural Resources/Conservation—Other Forest/Range Improvements (Non-Construction) PSC code.

Parker Land & Timber competes predominantly under total small business set-asides on its larger vehicles, though individual delivery orders have been issued both with and without set-aside restrictions depending on specific procurement requirements and available funding mechanisms. The company's federal contracting footprint is highly specialized, narrow in customer base, and geographically concentrated to the Forest Service's Southern Region operations in the South and Southeast.

We are a full service company in the application of silvicultural prescriptions and all aspects of presale timber management activities. We excel at boundary delineation, leave tree marking, cut tree marking and variable and fixed radius plot cruising.
