Riley Morgan

Riley Morgan, a sole proprietorship based in Baker City, Oregon, provides wildland fire management, forestry services, and heavy equipment support to the Department of Agriculture Forest Service as a prime contractor exclusively under small-business set-asides and full-and-open competition. Riley Morgan operates 100% as a prime, with no subcontracting footprint, and competes entirely within USDA Forest Service regional and national wildfire-suppression programs.

Riley Morgan's capability portfolio centers on concrete forestry and fire-response work: mechanical thinning, hand thinning, grapple piling, mastication, slashbusting, fuels reduction, forest health improvement, and miscellaneous heavy equipment rental for wildland fire suppression and prescribed burn operations across National Forest System lands in Oregon and Washington. Representative work includes a $129,948 total small business delivery order from USDA Forest Service Region 6 (Pacific Northwest) awarded August 3, 2026, for wildland fire management at Pendleton, Oregon; a $72,242.50 delivery order from the same region awarded August 31, 2023; and a $5 million single-award Blanket Purchase Agreement with the Forest Service covering mechanical and hand thinning services in the Wallowa-Whitman and Umatilla National Forests through May 2027.

Customer concentration is absolute: 100% of awards fund USDA Forest Service programs, with 21 of 29 awards ($11.5 million combined potential value) flowing through the Department of Agriculture Forest Service R6-Pacific Northwest Region. The National Interagency Fire Center accounts for 3 awards ($1 million combined potential value), the Forest Service Washington Office for 3 awards ($166 thousand), and the broader Forest Service organization for 2 awards ($104 thousand). Vehicle holdings include a $5 million Blanket Purchase Agreement under Region 6, a $500,000 multiple-award indefinite-delivery contract awarded by the National Interagency Fire Center on February 6, 2026 (running through May 28, 2029) for miscellaneous heavy equipment in the Pacific Northwest region only, and a $250,000 multiple-award IDC also through the Fire Center for heavy equipment and support services across the Pacific Northwest, Southwest, and Pacific Southwest regions. Riley Morgan places task orders under four parent vehicles: IDC 1204M318D0015 (12 task orders, $990 thousand), IDC 1204H124T7237 (5 task orders, $294 thousand), BPA 1204H118T7124 (4 task orders, $170 thousand), and IDC 1202SB21T7888 (2 task orders, $167 thousand).

Activity has been volatile and recent. Awards peaked in 2021 (four awards), declined sharply through 2023 (one award), then resumed with five awards in 2026, two of them issued in August. Eleven awards across the portfolio carry ultimate completion dates in the next twenty-four months, representing recompete opportunity. Combined potential value across all 29 awards is $12.8 million, with $1.6 million obligated (13% realization), indicating task-order-driven work with near-term performance windows. NAICS concentration is complete: all 29 awards fall under Support Activities for Forestry, with primary PSC classification in Natural Resources/Conservation Fire Suppression/Presuppression and Other.
