Timber Tipper Ent. Inc.

Timber Tipper Ent. Inc., a Sutherlin, Oregon–based small disadvantaged, veteran-owned business, is a prime contractor delivering timber tipping, water handling, heavy equipment rental, vehicle-with-driver services, and trained forestry personnel support to the federal wildland fire suppression and forestry management mission, overwhelmingly under full-and-open (non-set-aside) delivery orders against pre-existing Indefinite Delivery Contracts, though the underlying IDCs themselves carry Total Small Business set-asides.

The company operates almost exclusively within the Department of Agriculture Forest Service ecosystem. The Forest Service R6 (Pacific Northwest Region) accounts for 213 of 262 awards and $7.7 million of the $11.1 million combined potential value—more than 69% by count and 69% by dollar. The National Interagency Fire Center (Fire and Aviation Management) adds 33 awards worth $2.9 million. Together, these two Forest Service entities represent 99% of Timber Tipper's award portfolio by count and combined value. Two smaller customers—Forest Service R5 (Pacific Southwest Region) with 3 awards valued at $118 thousand and Bureau of Land Management Idaho Region with 2 awards valued at $34 thousand—round out the customer base.

Timber Tipper's work is deeply specialized: 252 of 262 awards fall under NAICS 561730 (Support Activities for Forestry), and 258 awards carry PSC code for Natural Resources/Conservation—Forest-Range Fire Suppression/Presuppression. The firm delivers services on the front lines of the agency's wildfire response and land management operations, particularly across the Pacific Northwest and West Zone (Regions 3, 5, 6, and 10). Representative delivery orders include a $293 thousand order from Forest Service R6 for water tenders and trained personnel (July 2025), a $147 thousand order for equipment and personnel deployment in Roseburg, Oregon (July 2025), and a $120 thousand order for timber tipping and water handling in Medford (August 2025). Most delivery orders are firm fixed-price and narrow in scope—individual task assignments typically valued between $4,000 and $80,000, with completion dates often two to four weeks from award.

Timber Tipper's prime vehicle footprint centers on five Indefinite Delivery Contracts issued by the National Interagency Fire Center under the Virtual Incident Procurement (VIPR) program, each valued at $250,000 annually and carrying Total Small Business set-asides. The top vehicle by task order count is IDC 12569R23T7162 (51 task orders, $1.9 million), followed closely by IDC 1204H120T7090 (50 task orders, $1.2 million) and IDC 1202SB22T8135 (48 task orders, $1.8 million). These vehicles cover specialized service categories—water handling, heavy equipment, vehicle with driver, fallers, and faller training—across West Zone regions. Task orders flow steadily: the company issued roughly 50 awards per year in 2022–2023, declining to 28 per year in 2024–2025, with only 6 awards recorded in 2026 through mid-June. Most recent IDC awards date to February–June 2026 and carry ultimate completion dates extending through 2028 and 2030, anchoring near-term recompete exposure to five IDCs valued at a combined $1.25 million.

Timber Tipper operates as a pure prime contractor (100% of awards); no subcontract footprint appears in the source. The firm competes on full-and-open delivery order basis, not through socioeconomic set-asides, despite holding seats on Total Small Business IDCs. Performance locations are concentrated in Oregon (Medford, Roseburg, Springfield, Sutherlin) and scattered across Regions 3, 5, 6, and 10 where Fire Service operations demand rapid equipment and personnel deployment. Activity has decelerated markedly since 2023's 53-award peak, with 2024–2025 each showing 28 awards and 2026 starting at a six-award pace, signaling either seasonal volatility in wildfire contracting demand or competitive pressure on task order volume.
