Raven Forestry

Raven Forestry is a for-profit partnership or limited liability partnership that provides professional forestry services to the U.S. federal government. Registered in SAM.gov since March 5, 2008, the company specializes in forest inventory analysis, measurement services, and data collection for various agencies, primarily the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service. Raven Forestry's expertise lies in conducting field surveys, plot measurements, and assessments to support long-term forest monitoring efforts and post-wildfire evaluations.

The company has been awarded numerous federal contracts, predominantly as prime contracts, to perform forest inventory and analysis (FIA) services in the Pacific Northwest region. These contracts typically involve conducting FIA plot measurements on Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management lands in Oregon and Washington. Raven Forestry's work includes data collection for the Forest Service's long-term forest health monitoring programs, lidar field plot measurements, and post-wildfire assessments. Many of these contracts are designated as total small business set-asides, reflecting the company's status as a small business. The primary funding agency for these contracts is the USDA Forest Service, particularly the Pacific Northwest Region (Region 6) and the Pacific Northwest Research Station. Contract values have ranged from approximately $25,000 to over $110,000 for individual task orders.

Raven Forestry holds a significant Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) with the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service, awarded on February 28, 2024. This single-award BPA, valued at $10 million, runs through January 31, 2030, and covers a wide range of professional forestry services in the Pacific Northwest region. Under this BPA, Raven Forestry is tasked with conducting various forest inventory analysis and measurement services, including lidar field plot measurements, post-wildfire assessments, and long-term forest health monitoring. The Forest Service has already issued a firm-fixed price task order under this BPA, valued at $48,265, for Raven Forestry to perform 35 forest inventory analysis plots in Area 3 of the Northwest region of Oregon. This work supports the agency's Forest Inventory and Analysis program and demonstrates the ongoing nature of Raven Forestry's relationship with the Forest Service in providing critical data for forest management and conservation efforts.
