Vincent Chas

Vincent Chas, doing business as Vincent Logging, is a self-certified small disadvantaged business and sole proprietorship located in Libby, Montana. The company specializes in providing forestry and land management services to federal agencies, with a primary focus on supporting wildfire suppression, fuels management, and multiple use management programs. Vincent Logging offers a range of specialized services including road maintenance, mechanical thinning, heavy equipment rentals, excavation, blading operations, and mechanical fuels reduction work involving bucking and piling across national forests.

The company has been awarded multiple federal contract delivery orders primarily through the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Forest Service, specifically within the Northern Region (Region 1). These contracts have ranged from $25,987.50 to $122,400 and involve critical land management services such as excavator operations, blading services, and mechanical fuels reduction across national forests in Montana and New Mexico. The delivery orders are not set-aside contracts and have supported forest health improvement initiatives, including work in areas like the Kootenai National Forest's Libby Ranger District, Steep Creek, and West Parsnip areas. Vincent Logging has also provided equipment rentals, such as an excavator for use in Albuquerque, New Mexico, demonstrating their versatility in supporting federal agency needs.

Vincent Logging holds several significant Indefinite Delivery Contracts (IDVs) with the Forest Service, including a $250,000 multiple-award IDC for miscellaneous heavy equipment rentals across Regions 1, 2, and 4, a $2 million single-award IDC for road maintenance and blading in the Kootenai National Forest, and a $12.5 million single-award IDC for mechanical thinning services in Regions 1 and 4. These IDVs, awarded as total small business set-asides, utilize the Virtual Incident Procurement (VIPR) system and support the agency's wildfire suppression and forest management programs. The contracts cover equipment rentals including feller bunchers, mulchers/masticators, road graders, skidders, dozers, excavators, and tractor plows, with performance periods extending through 2028 and 2029.
