Turkey Creek Forestry Services Inc.

Turkey Creek Forestry Services Inc., doing business as Turkey Creek Contracting, is a woman-owned, service-disabled veteran-owned small disadvantaged business based in Alamogordo, New Mexico that provides vegetation management, chipper operations, and forestry support services to the Department of Agriculture Forest Service across multiple regions as a prime contractor under total small business set-asides and full-and-open delivery orders.

Turkey Creek operates exclusively as a prime contractor (100% of recent awards); the company holds no subcontractor positions. The vendor is structured as a for-profit corporate entity and self-certifies as a small disadvantaged business. Work centers on natural resources and conservation — 56 of 61 recent awards fall under NAICS 238990 (Support Activities for Forestry), with the remaining awards in landscaping and waste treatment. The concrete work spans tree thinning (31 awards), wildland fire suppression and presuppression (27 awards), and general forestry support. Representative delivery orders include a $64,650 order from Forest Service Region 2 (Rocky Mountain Region) on July 18, 2026, for vegetation management and chipper support in Delta, Colorado; a $52,800 order from Region 3 (Southwestern Region) on August 10, 2026, for forestry services in Santa Fe; and a $59,540 order from Region 4 (Intermountain Region) on August 3, 2022, for forestry work in Salmon, Idaho.

Customer concentration is extreme and single-agency dependent. The Department of Agriculture Forest Service R3-Southwestern Region accounts for 32 of 48 awards tracked (52% by count, 48% by combined potential value of $1.6 million). The National Interagency Fire Center (Fire and Aviation Management) supplies four awards worth $1 million combined potential value. The Occupational Safety and Health Review Commission accounts for six awards but dollar magnitudes are not disclosed in the source. Together, these three customer segments cover 79% of awards and 87% of combined potential value. Regional fragmentation within Forest Service work is notable: Region 3 dominates, but Regions 2, 4, 5, and 8 also issue delivery orders.

Turkey Creek holds three active indefinite-delivery contract vehicles with the Forest Service and the National Interagency Fire Center. The largest is IDIQ 1202SB24T7416 (a $500,000 ceiling awarded May 20, 2024), which has generated ten task orders worth $366 thousand in combined potential value. IDIQ 1202SB22T8208 (ceiling $250,000, awarded June 9, 2022) supports six task orders worth $268 thousand. A third IDIQ awarded February 6, 2026 (1202SB26T7863, $500,000 ceiling under total small business set-aside through the Virtual Incident Procurement system) carries one tracked task order. All three vehicles are multiple-award contracts reserved for small business and structured to support incident response and resource management work across multiple Forest Service regions. Delivery orders under these IDIQs range from $3,300 to $64,410 and typically span 1-2 month performance periods.

Activity has been sparse and lumpy. The vendor received five awards in 2022, four in 2023, four in 2024, two in 2025, and seven year-to-date in 2026 (as of September 18, 2026). Recent momentum (seven awards in nine months) reflects increased incident dispatch work through the IDIQ vehicles rather than organic growth in contract count. Combined potential value across all 61 awards in the source is $3.3 million, of which $2.5 million (75%) has been obligated. The vendor competes predominantly under total small business set-asides on the IDIQ vehicles, though roughly half of the recent delivery orders carry no set-aside designation and are issued as full-and-open orders under the standing Forest Service contracts. Place of performance includes Alamogordo, New Mexico (headquarters), and operational sites in Santa Fe, Silver City, Albuquerque, and Delta, Colorado; Eureka, California; Salmon, Idaho; and other locations across Regions 2, 3, 4, 5, and 8 as incident dispatch dictates.
