South Fork Land Services, LLC

South Fork Land Services, LLC, a small business partnership based in Kalispell, Montana, delivers roadside brushing, road maintenance, and heavy equipment services to the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service as a prime contractor exclusively under Total Small Business set-asides. The vendor operates as a 100% prime contractor (all six awards in the recent footprint) and competes exclusively within small business set-aside vehicles.

South Fork's customer base concentrates entirely within the USDA Forest Service across three organizational units. The Department of Agriculture Forest Service R2-Rocky Mountain Region dominates dollar volume at $20 million combined potential value across two awards, anchored by a $20 million single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract (IDC 1240LQ25D0039) for region-wide road maintenance and forest support services running through September 2030. The National Interagency Fire Center holds $500 thousand in combined potential value across two multiple-award IDCs for heavy equipment (dozers, excavators, tractor plows) positioned for fire suppression and all-hazard response across USFS Regions 1, 2, 4, and 9, both set to expire April 30, 2030. The Department of Agriculture Forest Service R1-Northern Region accounts for $145 thousand across two delivery orders and purchase orders for roadside brushing on the Rexford/Fortine Ranger District (Kootenai National Forest) and Swan Lake Ranger District (Flathead National Forest).

South Fork's capability portfolio spans two primary NAICS categories equally represented in the award footprint: Support Activities for Forestry (three awards) and Highway, Street, and Bridge Construction (three awards), with PSC concentration in natural resources/conservation work including forest-range fire suppression and roadside improvements. Representative work includes a $96,632.80 delivery order (awarded June 2026, completion December 2027) for roadside brushing and optional grubbing on the Rexford/Fortine Ranger District; a $48,500.25 purchase order (September 2024, completion October 2025) for roadside brushing across approximately 94.95 miles of road in the Swan Lake Ranger District; and the $250 thousand multiple-award NIFC equipment IDC providing pre-positioned heavy equipment capacity for fire suppression across the East Zone.

Activity is early stage. The vendor recorded one award in 2024, three in 2025, and two in 2026 (most recent June 22, 2026), with combined potential value of $20.6 million but only $146 thousand obligated to date, reflecting the dominance of the large $20 million single-award maintenance IDC that drives most potential value while remaining largely unobligated. Two awards totaling $97 thousand in combined potential value reach ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months and face recompete, though both are small relative to the $20 million R2 contract.
