Timber Basin Contractors, LLC

Timber Basin Contractors, LLC is a small business limited liability company based in John Day, Oregon, that specializes in providing critical services to the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Forest Service. The company offers a comprehensive range of support services primarily focused on wildland fire management, forestry operations, and natural resource programs across multiple western states. Founded and registered in SAM.gov since August 23, 2012, Timber Basin Contractors has established itself as a reliable vendor for the Forest Service, particularly in the Pacific Northwest Region (Region 6), delivering essential equipment, transportation, and personnel support for emergency response and land management activities.

The company has consistently been awarded federal contract delivery orders for a diverse array of services, including timber basin contracting, pickup truck transportation, water handling equipment rental, fire engine support, and stakeside services. These contracts have ranged in value from approximately $3,972 to $66,000, predominantly issued by the USDA Forest Service's National Interagency Fire Center and Pacific Northwest Region. Most of these delivery orders have been firm fixed-price contracts without specific set-aside designations, though the underlying contract vehicles often utilize total small business set-asides. The contracts have covered critical operational needs such as supporting wildland firefighting efforts, providing heavy equipment for emergency response, and assisting with forestry management across regions like the Pacific Northwest, Rocky Mountain, and other western states.

Timber Basin Contractors holds four key Indefinite Delivery Contracts (IDCs) with the USDA Forest Service, each with a ceiling value of $250,000 and utilizing total small business set-asides. These IDCs are specifically designed for the Virtual Incident Procurement (VIPR) system and cover various service categories: water handling equipment for Region 6, heavy equipment rental for West Zone Regions 5 and 6, vehicle with driver services for Regions 5 and 6, and water handling services for West Zone Regions 3, 5, 6, and 10. The performance periods for these IDCs range from 2025 to 2030, enabling the Forest Service to rapidly issue delivery orders for critical goods and services in response to wildland fire management, forestry operations, and emergency response scenarios. These contracts demonstrate Timber Basin Contractors' strategic positioning as a flexible and responsive small business vendor for the federal government's natural resource and emergency management needs.
