Valley Timber Resource, Inc.

Valley Timber Resource, Inc., an SBA-certified HUBZone small business headquartered in Cave Junction, Oregon, operates as a prime contractor delivering timber resources, heavy equipment rentals, and forestry-related services to the U.S. Forest Service and related federal agencies. The vendor competes predominantly under total small business set-asides and has held HUBZone certification across its entire federal footprint. Valley Timber Resource performs 100 percent of its work as a prime contractor with no subcontract activity.

The company's capability portfolio centers on equipment rental and labor support for wildland fire suppression, prescribed forest management, and ecological restoration across the Pacific Northwest and Pacific Southwest regions. Representative work includes a $125,722 firm fixed-price delivery order from USDA Forest Service Region 6 (Pacific Northwest) for timber resources and heavy equipment support (August 2024); a $174,652.60 purchase order from Forest Service Region 5 (Pacific Southwest) for two dump trucks and one front-end loader to support the Orleans Complex fire response (August 2025); and a $63,700 delivery order from Region 6 for timber resources and forestry services in Roseburg, Oregon (August 2026). The company supplies specialized equipment including excavators, dozers, chippers, masticators, dump trucks, and front-end loaders, along with timber resources and faller labor.

Customer concentration is extreme and agency-specific. The Department of Agriculture Forest Service dominates both award count and dollar value. Forest Service Region 6 (Pacific Northwest) accounts for 51 awards ($2.8 million combined potential value), while the National Interagency Fire Center (Fire and Aviation Management) accounts for 19 awards ($4.5 million combined potential value) — together these two line items represent 95 percent of awards and 93 percent of combined potential value. Forest Service Region 5 (Pacific Southwest), Federal Fire and Aviation Management, and the National Resources Conservation Service round out a five-agency portfolio with minimal exposure outside USDA.

Valley Timber Resource holds ten active Indefinite Delivery Contracts, all awarded by the National Interagency Fire Center between June 2023 and August 2026, with ceiling values of $250,000 to $500,000 per vehicle and performance periods extending through 2028 to 2030. The largest concentration of task-order activity sits on three IDCs: contract 1204H120T7228 (8 task orders, $347 thousand combined potential value), contract 12569R23T7954 (7 task orders, $520 thousand combined potential value), and contract 1202SB21T7925 (6 task orders, $404 thousand combined potential value). The vendor also places work through multiple Blanket Purchase Agreements under the Forest Service's Virtual Incident Procurement (VIPR) system. All IDV vehicles carry total small business set-asides, positioning Valley Timber within a reserved competitive pool.

Activity shows modest volatility: seven awards in 2022, ten in 2023, eleven in 2024, two in 2025, and eight through mid-2026. The vendor has accumulated 92 total prime awards since 2006, with combined potential value of $8.7 million, of which $3.3 million (38 percent) has been obligated. Place of performance concentrates in Oregon and Washington, with subordinate activity in California and New Mexico to support regional fire operations and forest management initiatives.

Work classification is highly specialized. Support Activities for Forestry (NAICS 115310) accounts for 87 of 92 awards, with Construction, Mining, and Forestry Machinery and Equipment Rental and Leasing (NAICS 532412) and Logging (NAICS 113310) representing the remainder. Natural Resources/Conservation — Forest-Range Fire Suppression/Presuppression (PSC code Y08M) dominates at 83 awards, with minor activity in tree thinning, land treatment practices, and equipment lease categories. The vendor's federal market is defined by its deep penetration of Forest Service VIPR infrastructure and its niche in rapid-deployment equipment and labor for incident response and prescribed management.
