Tri Cities Forestry LLC

Tri Cities Forestry LLC, a Hispanic American-owned small disadvantaged business based in Prosser, Washington, supplies fully trained and equipped Type 2 wildland firefighter crews and forestry operations services to the Department of Agriculture Forest Service as a prime contractor, competing exclusively under the total small business set-aside and small business categories across 44 recent awards.

Tri Cities Forestry operates as a sole proprietorship organized as a limited liability company, delivering concrete wildland firefighting and forest management capabilities: Type 2 crew deployment for wildfire suppression and all-hazard incident response, vegetation management, habitat restoration, and general forestry operations. The vendor's work footprint spans Forest Service Regions 1 (Northern), 4 (Intermountain), 5 (Pacific Southwest), and 6 (Pacific Northwest), covering performance locations in Montana, California, Washington, Idaho, Colorado, and Utah. Representative delivery orders include a $381,789 award (September 2025) for Type 2 crew services in Wenatchee, Washington; a $307,555.50 order (September 2025) in Yreka, California; and a $277,740.70 delivery order (August 2025) in Solvang, California. All delivery orders carry firm fixed-price structures with May 10, 2026, or July 1, 2027, ultimate completion dates.

Customer concentration is narrowly focused on the Forest Service. The top five funding entities account for 91% of recent awards by count and 87% by combined potential value. Forest Service Region 5 (Pacific Southwest) leads by both metrics at 10 awards and $2.5 million combined potential value, followed closely by Region 6 (Pacific Northwest) with 9 awards and $1.7 million, Region 1 (Northern) with 8 awards and $808 thousand, the Intermountain Region with 6 awards and $1.2 million, and the unregionalized Forest Service entity with 7 awards and $1.1 million. This concentration exposes the vendor to agency-specific recompete and budget-cycle risk, though broad regional distribution within the Forest Service customer base mitigates single-region dependency.

Tri Cities Forestry holds a single parent vehicle: Indefinite Delivery Contract 1202SC23T2407 (National Interagency Fire Center, awarded May 19, 2023) with a $2.5 million ceiling under a total small business set-aside, with multiple award status and an ultimate completion date of July 1, 2027. This vehicle carries 43 task orders and $7.8 million in combined potential value — nearly all of the vendor's recent award footprint flows through this single IDC. The contract was modified in 2026 to add line items resulting from annual review.

Activity has grown substantially year over year: 6 awards in 2023 to 17 in 2025, moderating to 13 in 2026 through the source date of August 22. Over the next twenty-four months, 13 awards with combined potential value of $1.9 million reach ultimate completion dates (May 10, 2026, and July 1, 2027), creating significant recompete exposure and cliff risk for Tri Cities Forestry. Current obligation stands at $7.8 million of $10.3 million combined potential value across all awards (76% obligation rate), indicating active drawdown against the parent IDC.

Tri Cities Forestry competes exclusively as a prime contractor with no subcontract footprint in the source data. All 44 recent awards cluster into a single NAICS category (Support Activities for Forestry) and single PSC code (Natural Resources/Conservation—Forest-Range Fire Suppression/Presuppression), reflecting a highly specialized, single-customer focus without diversification into adjacent federal missions or non-wildfire forestry work.
