Ponderosa Reforestation, Inc.

Ponderosa Reforestation, Inc., a minority-owned, self-certified small disadvantaged business headquartered in Medford, Oregon, provides silvicultural treatments, hazardous fuels reduction, reforestation, and vegetation management services to federal land-management agencies as a prime contractor under multiple-award IDIQ and BPA vehicles. The company operates exclusively in the prime role (100% of recent awards) and competes predominantly under Total Small Business set-asides across its core portfolio, though a material fraction of its larger IDIQ task orders carry no set-aside designation.

Ponderosa's capability footprint centers on concrete forestry labor: non-commercial thinning and hand piling (Wallowa-Whitman National Forest, $157,700), manual hazardous fuels reduction in central Oregon ($654,326 delivery order under the Central Oregon Manual Hazardous Fuel Reduction IDIQ), sudden oak death treatment in the Coos Bay District ($50,940), reforestation and seedling establishment ($509,588 for bare-root and containerized conifer planting in Roseburg, Oregon), and fire rehabilitation seeding. Recent work spans mowing and brushing ($234,240 delivery order, September 2026), young stand management treatments ($1,083,475, March 2026), and stand maintenance brushing in Douglas, Oregon ($428,000, October 2025).

Customer concentration is tight and geographically coherent. The top five funding agencies account for 54% of awards by count but 91% of combined potential value, led by the Department of the Interior Bureau of Land Management National Office ($150.5 million combined potential value across five awards), the Bureau of Land Management Oregon-Washington region ($66.7 million across 80 awards), and the Forest Service R6-Pacific Northwest Region ($21.9 million across 98 awards). The National Office IDIQ ceiling drives the value concentration; Oregon-Washington BLM and Forest Service R6 drive award volume. Occupational Safety and Health Review Commission appears as a third-ranked customer by volume (53 awards) but contributes minimal potential value, suggesting a set of administrative task orders.

Ponderosa holds three core parent vehicles. The $145 million Central Oregon Manual Hazardous Fuel Reduction 2022–2027 IDIQ (BLM National Office) anchors the potential-value portfolio and has generated task orders for fuels reduction across Prineville, Medford, and eastern Oregon through late 2027. The $40 million BLM Western OR Silviculture IDIQ (Oregon-Washington Region, August 2023 award, expires July 2028) supports silvicultural treatments across western Oregon districts including Coos Bay, Lakeview, Medford, and Roseburg, with task orders for thinning, tubing, mulching, and animal control. The $5 million USDA Forest Service UMA/WAW (Umatilla/Wallowa-Whitman) Mechanical and Hand Thinning BPA (R6, expires May 2027) underwrites recurring thinning and piling work in the Wallowa-Whitman and Umatilla National Forests. A fourth vehicle, the $250,000 BLM Oregon-Washington SOD (Sudden Oak Death) treatment BPA (August 2025, expires July 2030), supports herbicide application, tree cutting, and infected-tree treatment in the Coos Bay District.

Activity has moderated in recent years — nine awards in 2022 declining to four awards in 2026 — though the company maintains $36.2 million in obligated dollars against $270.6 million in combined potential value, indicating drawdown on large IDIQ ceilings rather than new prime awards. Six awards worth $1.9 million combined potential value face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, creating modest recompete exposure. NAICS concentration is extreme: Support Activities for Forestry (NAICS 115310) accounts for 444 of 479 awards, with the remainder split between landscaping and soil preparation. PSC code concentration shows natural-resources conservation tree thinning (132 awards), forest tree planting (67 awards), and other forest and range improvements dominating the portfolio. All work is performed in the Pacific Northwest and Northern Rockies (Oregon, Washington, and Idaho districts), with place-of-performance locations including North Bend, Medford, Coquille, Lakeview, and Roseburg, Oregon, and Prineville and Bend, Oregon.
