Summitt Forests, Inc.

Summitt Forests, Inc., a for-profit small business headquartered in Phoenix, Oregon, operates as a prime contractor delivering manual and mechanical vegetation management, hazardous fuels reduction, and forest ecosystem restoration services to federal land management agencies across the western United States, with a portfolio anchored to indefinite delivery and blanket purchase agreement vehicles issued by the U.S. Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management.

The vendor's customer base concentrates heavily on federal land stewardship missions. By award count, the Occupational Safety and Health Review Commission leads with 370 awards (a data artifact reflecting administrative or reporting routing), while the Forest Service's Pacific Northwest Region (R6) accounts for 143 awards valued at $219.5 million and the Rocky Mountain Region (R2) for 123 awards valued at $97.3 million. By potential value, the BLM National Office dominates at $1.07 billion across 40 awards—primarily through large mechanical and manual hazardous fuel reduction IDIQ vehicles—followed by Forest Service Regions 6, 5, 3, and 2 collectively representing $592 million. The top five customers account for 78% of combined potential value across all awards, indicating concentrated dependence on Interior and Agriculture agency priorities.

Summitt Forests holds a substantial portfolio of parent vehicles. The vendor sits on multiple $50 million single-award stewardship blanket purchase agreements with Forest Service Regions 1, 4, 5, and 6 (Northern Rockies, Intermountain, Pacific Southwest, and Pacific Northwest, respectively), each running through 2032–2033. The vendor also holds a $49.5 million single-award National Hazardous Fuels Reduction BPA with the Fish and Wildlife Service (2024–2029) and multiple mechanical and manual hazardous fuel reduction IDIQs with the BLM, each valued at $60 million to $145 million with periods extending through 2027–2028. A $100 million Forest Service Region 2 IDIQ (Region 02 Vegetation Management Services) and a $3 million Region 3 Hazard Tree Removal and Pruning IDIQ round out the major commitments. These vehicles generate hundreds of delivery orders and BPA calls annually across regions.

Capability work reflects deep specialization in federal land restoration and fire mitigation. Representative contracts include a $820,966 BPA call (October 2025) for stewardship work on Prescott National Forest's Bradshaw Ranger District; a $2.3 million BPA call (September 2023) for mechanized and hand-thinning timber harvest in Groom Creek, Arizona; a $1.225 million stewardship BPA call (June 2024) for forest health and fuels reduction in Groom Creek; a $1.15 million definitive contract (October 2023) for Pierson Park mechanical fuelbreak and hazard tree removal; and a $2.046 million BPA call (September 2025) for forest fuels maintenance in Cave Junction, Oregon. Smaller delivery orders span hand thinning, piling, mastication, lop-and-scatter operations, juniper removal, grubbing, prescribed fire preparation, and slash treatment across dozens of national forests and BLM field offices. Work consistently targets wildfire risk mitigation, watershed protection, and ecosystem restoration on federal lands in western states (CONUS focus, with Guam appearing in Fish and Wildlife Service geographies).

Recent activity has declined from a peak. The vendor received 56 awards in 2022, 82 in 2023, then 43 in 2024 and 42 in 2025, with only 11 awards in 2026 through early September. Combined potential value across all 2,062 awards in the source reaches $2.14 billion; combined obligated dollars sit at $224.7 million (10% execution). Thirty-six awards reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, carrying $13.2 million in potential value and representing recompete exposure for competitors and renewal risk for the vendor.

Summitt Forests operates virtually entirely as a prime contractor—2,061 of 2,062 awards (100%) are prime contracts, IDVs, or grants, with only one subcontract sub-award in the portfolio. This prime-heavy posture is reflected in SCI reporting: across 84 SCI-captured service contracts (FY2022–FY2024), the vendor averaged 6% sub-hours share, indicating in-house delivery of roughly 94% of labor. The vendor reported five named subcontractors across its prime SCI contracts, suggesting limited reliance on teaming for service work above the $150,000 SCI threshold.

Service-contract invoicing under SCI shows modest scale in the subset captured. FY2023 peaked at $10.3 million across 42.7 FTEs, followed by FY2024 at $8.5 million and 41.4 FTEs. Median government-paid hourly rates on prime contracts run $94.24/hr, with the 90th percentile reaching $253.27/hr, consistent with a mix of crew labor, supervisory staff, and specialized forestry technicians. These SCI dollars represent a small fraction of the vendor's total federal portfolio—the 2,062-award potential value of $2.14 billion dwarfs even the cumulative three-year SCI invoicing of $23.9 million, indicating that most awards are either indefinite quantity vehicles awaiting task orders, small fixed-price delivery orders, or goods procurements falling outside SCI scope.

The vendor competes across both total small business set-asides and unrestricted procurements. The vast majority of recent awards carry "Total Small Business" or "No Set-Aside Used" designations with roughly equal frequency, reflecting the vendor's ability to win on price and performance in open competitions while remaining positioned for set-aside vehicles. NAICS 115310 (Support Activities for Forestry) accounts for 1,594 of the awards, with PSC code Natural Resources/Conservation–Tree Thinning anchoring 688 awards. The vendor's federal footprint is almost entirely western-U.S. forestry and land management, with no apparent diversification into other service lines or geographies.
