Tipler's Trees & Trails, LLC

Tipler's Trees & Trails, LLC, a woman-owned small disadvantaged business based in Florence, Oregon, supplies heavy equipment—dozers, excavators, and miscellaneous apparatus—for wildland fire suppression, incident response, and prescribed project work to the U.S. Forest Service as a prime contractor under total small business set-aside IDIQs and delivery orders. All seven awards in the source record are prime contracts.

Tipler's Trees & Trails holds a focused, geographically bounded capability footprint. The company operates across two parent Indefinite Delivery Contracts awarded by the National Interagency Fire Center: one covering miscellaneous heavy equipment for Region 6 (Pacific Northwest only) with a $250,000 ceiling through May 12, 2030, and a second covering heavy equipment for West Zone Regions 5 and 6 with a $250,000 ceiling through May 16, 2030. Both are firm fixed-price, multiple-award small business set-asides. Against these IDCs, Tipler's Trees & Trails has received three delivery orders from the Forest Service's Region 6 office: a $112,870 order placed August 24, 2025, a $34,920 order placed September 21, 2025, and a $27,160 order placed September 13, 2026 (the most recent award, one month ago). Additionally, the company holds two separate VIPR I-BPA (Virtual Incident Procurement Incident Blanket Purchase Agreement) contracts awarded by the National Interagency Fire Center on May 12, 2025, and May 16, 2025, respectively, each with $250,000 ceilings for heavy equipment in Regions 5 and 6, extending through 2030. These IDCs and blanket purchase agreements represent the parent vehicles through which equipment and personnel are pre-positioned for rapid dispatch to wildland fire and all-hazard incident locations.

Customer concentration is singular: 100% of awards fund Department of Agriculture Forest Service programs, split between the National Interagency Fire Center (four awards, $1.5 million combined potential value) and the Forest Service Region 6 office (three awards, $175 thousand combined potential value). Activity has been modest—four awards in 2025, three in 2026—with combined potential value across all seven awards at $1.7 million, though only $175 thousand has been obligated to date (10% of combined ceiling). The company's NAICS and PSC concentration reflects this singular focus: all seven awards fall under Support Activities for Forestry (NAICS) and Natural Resources/Conservation—Forest-Range Fire Suppression/Presuppression (PSC). Tipler's Trees & Trails operates exclusively as a prime contractor with no subcontract footprint in the source data, and maintains no seat on government-wide vehicles or multi-agency IDIQs beyond its Forest Service regional blanket purchase agreements.
