Tree North LLC

Tree North LLC, a minority-owned and Hispanic American-owned limited liability company based in Jefferson, Oregon, provides chipper equipment, crews, and faller services for fire suppression, all-hazard incidents, and prescribed project work to the U.S. Forest Service and interagency cooperators as a prime contractor under total small business set-asides. The vendor operates exclusively as a prime (100% of recent awards) across five Forest Service regional commands and the National Interagency Fire Center, with all work competitively awarded through the Virtual Incident Procurement (VIPR) system under firm fixed-price delivery orders and incident blanket purchase agreements.

Tree North's customer concentration is singular and consolidated with the Department of Agriculture's Forest Service. The National Interagency Fire Center anchors the portfolio at five awards carrying $1.8 million in combined potential value, representing 82% of the vendor's total potential value across all awards. Regional Forest Service operations in the Pacific Northwest (Region 6), Intermountain (Region 4), Rocky Mountain (Region 2), and Eastern (Region 9) regions collectively account for seven awards at $389 thousand combined potential value. The two customer-ranking metrics align — NIFC leads both volume and dollars — with no customer concentration outside the Forest Service ecosystem.

Tree North holds multiple indefinite-delivery contracts issued by the National Interagency Fire Center under total small business set-asides, running through 2029 and 2030. The portfolio includes a $250,000 IDIQ for chipper equipment and crews across East Zone regions (Regions 1, 2, and 4) awarded July 22, 2026; a $500,000 IDIQ for chipper and crew services in Regions 5 and 6 awarded February 6, 2026; a $500,000 IDIQ for faller services in West Zone Regions 5 and 6 awarded February 6, 2026; and a $250,000 IDIQ for fallers in Regions 5 and 6 awarded May 5, 2025. A regional Forest Service IDIQ (contract number 12569R24T7264) supports six task orders valued at $382 thousand. These vehicles structure task-order work through VIPR-issued incident blanket purchase agreements, with potential utilization by the Department of the Interior, National Park Service, and Bureau of Indian Affairs.

Tree North's activity has grown unevenly — five awards in 2024, one in 2025, and six in 2026 — though dollar obligation lags potential value at $486 thousand obligated against $2.2 million combined potential across the portfolio. The vendor competes exclusively under total small business set-asides and holds no subcontract relationships in the source record. All work falls under NAICS 332311 (Support Activities for Forestry) and PSC code for natural resources and conservation forest-range fire suppression and presuppression, with performance distributed across USFS Regions 1 through 6 and interagency response zones supporting local, regional, and nationwide incident response at rates supporting up to 16-hour daily operational shifts.
