Rue Logging, Inc.

Rue Logging, Inc. is a for-profit, small business subchapter S corporation headquartered in South Fork, Colorado, specializing in vegetation management and mechanical fuels reduction services for federal land management agencies. Registered in SAM.gov since 2003, the company focuses on providing critical ecosystem management and wildfire risk mitigation services primarily across western United States public lands. The company's core expertise involves mastication, logging, vegetation treatment, and post-fire rehabilitation projects that help federal agencies maintain and protect public land resources.

Through its federal contract awards, Rue Logging has consistently provided mechanical vegetation management services to agencies like the Department of Agriculture's Forest Service and the Department of the Interior's Bureau of Land Management. The company's contract work involves detailed vegetation treatment projects, including mastication of woody materials, mechanical hazardous fuels reduction, conifer tree removal, and emergency stabilization services across multiple states including Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, and Utah. Many of these contracts are set aside for small businesses, with project scopes ranging from 53 to 957 acres, and contract values between $29,000 and $322,000. The company has worked on projects like the San Juan Mastication Unit, Jarosita Mastication Project, and North Tracy Mastication, demonstrating its specialized capabilities in ecosystem management and wildfire risk reduction.

Rue Logging holds two significant Indefinite Delivery Vehicle (IDV) contracts that enable continued vegetation management services. The first is a $100 million IDV with the U.S. Forest Service's Pacific Northwest Region, effective through March 2029, covering vegetation treatment services on National Forests and Grasslands. The second is a $5 million IDV with the Bureau of Land Management's National Office, running through September 2025 and covering mechanical hazardous fuels reduction services across seven western states. These IDV contracts allow federal agencies to issue task orders for specific vegetation management projects, with Rue Logging providing labor, equipment, and services for fuels reduction, timber stand improvement, and site preparation through manual and mechanical treatments. The company has successfully received task orders ranging from $5,000 to over $320,000 under these vehicle contracts, demonstrating its consistent performance and reliability in executing complex vegetation management projects.
