Sikes Gregory R

Sikes Gregory R, operating as Greg Sikes Logging, is a small business sole proprietorship based in Lolo, Montana, that provides timber harvesting, tree removal, heavy equipment deployment, and wildfire suppression support to the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service and National Interagency Fire Center as a prime contractor exclusively under total small business set-asides. All 24 recent awards are prime contracts concentrated in NAICS 336500 (Support Activities for Forestry) and PSC code Q—Natural Resources/Conservation Forest-Range Fire Suppression/Presuppression.

The vendor's customer base is monolithic. The Department of Agriculture Forest Service accounts for 100% of awards, split across five organizational components: the National Interagency Fire Center (5 awards, $1.8 million combined potential value), Region 1–Northern Region (14 awards, $473 thousand), Region 2–Rocky Mountain Region (2 awards, $73 thousand), the Forest Service itself (2 awards, $67 thousand), and Region 6–Pacific Northwest Region (1 award, $59 thousand). The National Interagency Fire Center dominates the potential-value ranking despite holding only five awards because it anchors the vendor's position on multiple Indefinite Delivery Contracts carrying $500,000 and $250,000 ceilings respectively. The regional Forest Service offices drive volume with frequent small delivery orders ranging from $2,700 to $78,300 for timber harvesting and land management work across Montana, Wyoming, and Oregon.

The vendor holds five active IDCs structured as Incident Blanket Purchase Agreements under the Virtual Incident Procurement (VIPR) system. Two were awarded February 6, 2026, by the National Interagency Fire Center for heavy equipment with water services and heavy equipment alone, each with $500,000 ceilings and expiration dates of May 21, 2030, and June 1, 2028, respectively, both designated total small business set-asides for Regions 1, 2, 4, and 9. A third IDC awarded May 21, 2025, carries a $250,000 ceiling through May 2030 under identical scope and set-aside. Two earlier IDCs—awarded June 1, 2023, and May 26, 2022, each for $250,000—expired or are expiring in 2025 and 2028. Across all five vehicles, task orders total 19 delivery orders under the three active IDCs. Regional Forest Service offices issue the remaining five awards as standalone delivery orders not against an IDC vehicle, suggesting some work sits outside the VIPR system.

Activity has grown moderately. The vendor held one award in 2022, scaled to five in 2023, peaked at seven in 2024, contracted to four in 2025, and returned to seven in 2026. Combined potential value across all 24 awards is $2.4 million, with $672 thousand obligated as of the summary date. Recent 2026 awards cluster in August, all issued by Region 1–Northern Region under total small business set-asides, ranging from $10,485 to $48,600 for delivery orders with ultimate completion dates within days to weeks of award. The vendor has no subcontracting footprint and competes exclusively as a prime under small business set-asides, with no full-and-open competition awards in the recent portfolio.
