TIM Tipton

TIM Tipton, doing business as TIM Tipton Enterprises, is a self-certified small disadvantaged business sole proprietorship based in Salem, Oregon, that provides fully equipped and staffed weed washing units for fire suppression and all-hazard incident response across the western United States. The vendor operates exclusively as a prime contractor on small-business set-aside vehicle work for the Department of Agriculture's U.S. Forest Service.

TIM Tipton's entire federal footprint consists of five prime awards totaling $1.1 million in combined potential value since June 2022, all awarded by the Department of Agriculture's Forest Service Fire and Aviation Management program through the National Interagency Fire Center and the Pacific Northwest Region (Region 6). The vendor holds three Indefinite Delivery Contracts for weed washing unit support in Forest Service Regions 3, 5, and 6: a $500,000 multiple-award IDC awarded February 6, 2026, extending through June 4, 2030; a $250,000 multiple-award Incident Blanket Purchase Agreement awarded June 4, 2025, running through June 2030; and a $250,000 multiple-award I-BPA awarded June 8, 2022, with completion date June 8, 2025. Against these IDCs, the vendor has received two delivery orders from Region 6: a $42,848 firm fixed-price order issued July 23, 2026, for weed washing unit support services at Prineville, Oregon, with completion August 26, 2026, set aside for total small business; and a $16,579 order issued July 20, 2024, with completion August 5, 2024. All work is categorized under NAICS 924120 (Support Activities for Forestry) and PSC natural resources/conservation forest-range fire suppression. Activity remains modest and episodic — one award in 2022, one in 2024, one in 2025, and two in 2026 — with only $59 thousand obligated against the $1.1 million potential ceiling, indicating early-stage execution across the newly awarded vehicle positions. The vendor has no subcontracting presence in the federal record.
