Spencer Logging LLC

Spencer Logging LLC, an SBA-certified HUBZone small business headquartered in Libby, Montana, operates as a prime contractor delivering forestry management, wildland fire suppression, and land improvement services to the USDA Forest Service across multiple western regions. The vendor competes on both set-aside (Total Small Business) and full-and-open delivery orders, with the set-aside posture recurrent across its prime footprint, particularly on the newer Virtual Incident Procurement (VIPR) Incident Blanket Purchase Agreement vehicles awarded in 2023–2026.

Spencer Logging's customer concentration is highly concentrated and agency-specific. The Department of Agriculture Forest Service Region 1–Northern Region dominates the award portfolio with 91 awards valued at $74.8 million combined potential value — representing 89% of awards by count and 89% of total potential value. The National Interagency Fire Center (USDA Forest Service Fire and Aviation Management) accounts for 22 awards worth $4.2 million. Two Army Corps of Engineers awards to the Engineering District Seattle add $4 million in potential value. USDA Forest Service Regions 2, 3, and 4 contribute secondary volume across the western states. The vendor has worked with 11 distinct federal agencies, but 89% of the award footprint concentrates on USDA Forest Service regional offices.

Capability scope centers on heavy equipment deployment and operational support for forest stewardship. Work includes mechanical thinning, brush clearing, hazardous fuels reduction, timber harvesting, and prescribed fire support, executed with a fleet comprising excavators, dozers, skidders, feller bunchers, masticators, and specialized firefighting equipment including skidgines, softtracks, and pumper cats. Representative prime awards include a $182,257.50 delivery order from USDA Forest Service Region 1 (August 2026) for forestry management and land improvement in Dillon, Montana under Total Small Business set-aside; a $138,408.88 Region 2 delivery order (July 2026) for hazardous fuels reduction in Pueblo, Colorado; and a $107,156.40 Region 1 delivery order (August 2023) for logging, land management, and wildfire support services under the Region 1 IDIQ vehicle.

Parent vehicle position reflects deep relationships with USDA Forest Service contracting vehicles. Spencer Logging holds a $50 million single-award Northern Rockies Stewardship Blanket Purchase Agreement (Region 1, awarded May 2023, running through October 2032) and a $12.5 million single-award Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity contract for Region 1/Region 4 Mechanical Thinning (awarded September 2022, through September 2027). These anchor the delivery order volume. The vendor also sits on multiple Virtual Incident Procurement Incident Blanket Purchase Agreement vehicles, each carrying $250 thousand to $500 thousand ceilings, awarded February 2026 through June 2023 for heavy equipment with water capabilities and miscellaneous heavy equipment across East Zone (Regions 1, 2, 4, 9) and West Zone (Regions 3, 5, 6). The top five parent vehicles carry 55 task orders combined with $2.9 million in combined potential value, concentrated on the Northern Rockies Stewardship BPA and the VIPR I-BPA vehicles.

Activity has remained steady and diversified across 2022–2026, with 12 awards in 2022, 7 in 2023, 12 in 2024, 13 in 2025, and 13 in 2026 year-to-date. Combined potential value across 142 prime awards totals $84 million, with $5.5 million obligated (7% realization rate), reflecting the vendor's position on large ceiling vehicles from which task orders are incrementally issued. The vendor competes 100% as a prime contractor; no sub-award activity appears in the source. Work is performed across Libby, Montana (administrative and operational headquarters) and subordinate performance locations in Montana, Idaho, North Dakota, South Dakota, Wyoming, Colorado, and New Mexico, aligned with the geographic footprint of USDA Forest Service Regions 1 through 6.

NAICS concentration shows 134 of 142 awards under Support Activities for Forestry (NAICS 113530); PSC coding shows 125 awards under Natural Resources/Conservation – Forest-Range Fire Suppression/Presuppression, with secondary volume under Tree Thinning and Land Treatment Practices. This focused capability profile — heavy equipment deployment for federal land stewardship — has produced steady, repetitive work across a single dominant customer (USDA Forest Service) without visible sub-award strategy or diversification into other federal agencies or service lines.
