Sylvan Forest Products Inc.

Sylvan Forest Products Inc., a Portland, Oregon-based small business manufacturer, supplies wood-based construction materials to the Defense Logistics Agency as a prime contractor, competing predominantly under the Total Small Business set-aside designation on its primary IDIQ vehicle. The company is a Subchapter S Corporation and for-profit organization structured as a manufacturer of goods; federal award data reflects 100% prime contracting with no subcontract footprint.

DLA Troop Support Construction and Equipment is Sylvan's overwhelming customer concentration point. The top five customer agencies account for 99% of awards, but the distribution is highly concentrated: DLA Troop Support Construction and Equipment alone represents 2,582 awards (54% of the total portfolio) worth $205.6 million combined potential value, dwarfing all other customers. DLA Troop Support Hardware places a distant second with 1,906 awards worth $21.5 million. The next tier—DLA main office (151 awards, $1.8 million), the Navy's Naval Sea Systems Command (60 awards, $1 million), and DLA Troop Support Europe and Africa (10 awards, $138 thousand)—collectively account for less than 2% of the total potential value. This concentration reflects Sylvan's role as a specialized wood products supplier to a single dominant buyer.

Sylvan's capability footprint centers on construction lumber and plywood for military infrastructure. The company's portfolio spans softwood lumber (dimensional, board, and timber grades), hardwood lumber, construction plywood, aircraft-grade plywood, fire-retardant plywood, treated wood items, wood piles, wood stakes, pole line construction materials, and specialty items such as railroad ties and wood blocks. Recent representative work includes a $37,918 delivery order for fire retardant plywood (March 23, 2026), a $55,975.93 delivery order for softwood dimensional lumber (December 9, 2025), and a $75,543.72 delivery order for construction plywood (September 25, 2025), all from DLA Troop Support Construction and Equipment. Individual delivery orders range from under $500 to approximately $65,000. Place of performance is primarily Portland, Oregon, with occasional delivery to Oklahoma City, Tinker Air Force Base, Texas, Rapid City, South Dakota, and Corpus Christi, Texas.

Sylvan holds one major IDV: contract SPE8E622D0043, a $43 million, five-year multiple-award IDIQ with DLA Troop Support Construction and Equipment, awarded September 28, 2022, through September 27, 2027, carrying a $22 million ceiling and designated for total small business participation. This single vehicle anchors nearly all recent activity—the source awards reflect consistent delivery orders issued under this IDIQ throughout 2024, 2025, and into 2026. The IDIQ was competitively awarded to three or four small business awardees using low-price technically acceptable criteria and supports DLA's procurement of the full spectrum of wood construction materials for military facility maintenance and engineering projects across the central United States and globally, with an estimated annual procurement value of $4.4 million. Beyond this primary IDIQ, Sylvan appears on smaller DLA hardware and miscellaneous supply vehicles (SPM5E406D0253, SPM5E406D0252, SPE8E616D0004, and others), collectively accounting for hundreds of lower-value orders, but these represent a minor share of the portfolio.

Activity has remained flat to declining year over year—142 awards in 2022, 123 in 2023, 150 in 2024, 124 in 2025, and 39 awards recorded in 2026 through mid-April. The combined potential value of $270.8 million is offset by only $86.1 million in obligated dollars (32% obligated), indicating a pipeline of unfilled or partially executed orders. No recompete cliff detail is present in the source, but the primary IDIQ vehicle extends through September 27, 2027, creating a recompete event in the latter half of 2027 for the company's dominant customer relationship.

Sylvan competes in full and open competition for individual delivery orders under the Total Small Business set-aside IDIQ; the parent vehicle carries the set-aside designation, but each task order award carries "No Set-Aside Used" language, indicating full competition among the three to four small business awardees. This posture reflects mature, routine procurement execution rather than sole-source or competitive 8(a) work. The vendor has no identified subcontractors across its federal footprint and does not appear as a sub-tier supplier in the source material—it operates as a pure prime, direct-to-customer wood products supplier.

Since 1990, Sylvan has supplied standard and specialty constructions supplies, including most all grades and species of lumber, plywood, and mouldings, as well as special grades of fire-retardant and preservative treated lumber and plywood & more.
