Sprout Forestry Incorporated

Sprout Forestry Incorporated, doing business as Sprout Forestry Inc., is an SBA 8(a) certified, minority-owned small disadvantaged business based in Central Point, Oregon, that delivers hand tree planting, mechanical and manual thinning, mastication, fuels reduction, and ecological restoration services to the federal government exclusively as a prime contractor across western national forests and Bureau of Land Management lands. The company operates 100% as prime (250 awards, zero subcontract activity) and competes predominantly under total small business set-asides, with SBA 8(a) certification expiring April 1, 2030. Its federal portfolio emphasizes forestry and wildfire mitigation work across NAICS 115310 (Support Activities for Forestry, 231 awards) and related vegetation management codes, with over $299 million in combined potential value across 250 awards since 2018.

Sprout Forestry's customer base concentrates heavily on Forest Service regional offices and Bureau of Land Management districts across the western United States. The top five customer agencies by award count account for 80% of recent awards: Forest Service Region 1 (Northern Region) leads with 118 awards worth $64.2 million combined potential value, followed by the Bureau of Land Management Oregon-Washington (13 awards, $83.3 million), Forest Service Region 6 (Pacific Northwest, 25 awards, $59.6 million), Forest Service Region 4 (Intermountain, 30 awards, $6.7 million), and Forest Service Region 5 (Pacific Southwest, 14 awards, $22 million). However, by dollar magnitude, BLM Oregon-Washington dominates (93% coverage of top customer dollars), anchored by a $40 million BLM Western OR Silviculture multiple-award IDIQ awarded August 31, 2023 through July 31, 2028. Forest Service Region 1's volume—118 small-to-medium orders—reflects the agency's sustained demand for hand tree planting, hand fuels treatment, and timber stand improvement across Montana, Idaho, and adjacent regions rather than large single awards. Concrete representative work includes a $1,006,684 delivery order for the HTNF Jarbidge Roadside Fuelbreaks project in Elko, Nevada (August 1, 2026, under the R1/R4 Mechanical Thinning IDIQ); a $905,386 order for Medford Silviculture FY26 services in Oregon under the BLM Western OR Silviculture MATOC (February 26, 2026); a $634,942 delivery order for disaster-supplemental Sioux Road blow-down debris removal near Bozeman, Montana (March 5, 2026, under R1/R4 Mechanical Fuels Treatment MATOC); and a $392,466 order for hand tree planting and animal damage control across Kootenai National Forest ranger districts (April 27, 2026, under Kootenai NF regional IDIQ).

Sprout Forestry's parent-vehicle footprint reflects its dominance in federal land management IDIQs and BPAs. The vendor holds or places task orders against at least 12 named indefinite delivery vehicles, many carrying substantial potential values. The top parent vehicles by task-order volume are Indefinite Delivery Contract 1284LM22D0042 (36 task orders, $5.9 million potential value, Region 1/4 hand fuels and timber stand improvement), Indefinite Delivery Contract 12034320D0025 (30 task orders, $2.5 million, Region 1 tree planting across western Montana pods), and the Land Management Integrated Resources National BPA (26 task orders, $4.1 million, national vehicle for forestry and land restoration work across Forest Service and BLM). Sprout Forestry also holds single-award IDIQs with significant ceilings: a $50 million Pacific Northwest Stewardship BPA with Forest Service Region 6 (awarded March 31, 2025, through October 3, 2032); a $40 million BLM Western OR Silviculture IDIQ (August 31, 2023 through July 31, 2028); a $20 million manual fuels reduction IDIQ for Northern California national forests (July 15, 2022 through July 14, 2027); an $18.75 million R1/R4 Timber Stand Improvement and Hand Fuels Treatments IDIQ (September 29, 2022 through September 30, 2027); and a $12.5 million R1/R4 Mechanical Thinning IDIQ (September 28, 2022 through September 30, 2027). Cumulative ceiling value across named IDVs disclosed in the source exceeds $190 million. All parent vehicles visible in the award record are set-aside or sole-source arrangements reserved for 8(a) small businesses.

Recent activity has been steady. Awards per year averaged 39 to 46 annually from 2023 through 2026, reflecting sustained federal demand for forestry services across the western region. Within the next 24 months, 34 awards (combined potential value $9.4 million) reach ultimate completion and face recompete, representing modest recompete exposure relative to the vendor's overall $299.5 million portfolio. Service Contract Inventory data shows limited SCI-reportable activity: $513 thousand invoiced in FY2023 across 3.5 FTEs, scaling to $1.9 million in FY2024 across 18.4 FTEs. Note that SCI captures only service contracts above the $150,000 threshold and excludes the majority of Sprout Forestry's delivery order activity (most orders fall below that reporting floor). Government-paid hourly rates on SCI contracts ranged from $44.93/hr at the 10th percentile to $164.12/hr at the 90th percentile, with a median of $50/hr, indicating a labor-intensive, field-operations profile. The vendor performs all delivery internally with zero subcontractor engagement across its federal prime footprint, building internal crews to execute hand planting, mastication, mechanical thinning, and related forest health work across dispersed project locations in Montana, Idaho, Oregon, Washington, California, Utah, Nevada, Wyoming, Colorado, and New Mexico.
