Warner Creek Co

Warner Creek Co, a woman-owned small business based in Westfir, Oregon, delivers wildlife habitat enhancement and ecological restoration services to federal land management agencies as a prime contractor exclusively under total small business set-asides, operating under NAICS 115310 (Support Activities for Forestry) and specializing in wildlife snag (dead tree) creation, coarse woody debris placement, and legacy tree release across the Pacific Northwest.

Warner Creek Co's customer concentration is highly regional and agency-specific. The top two funding agencies account for 67% of recent awards by count and 92% of combined potential value: the Department of Agriculture Forest Service's Pacific Northwest Region (Region 6) leads with 63 awards and $8.3 million combined potential value, followed by the Department of the Interior Bureau of Land Management's Oregon-Washington Region with 27 awards and $2.2 million combined potential value. The Department of Agriculture Forest Service's Intermountain Region (Region 4) places a distant third at 14 awards and $179 thousand. Warner Creek Co has worked with eight distinct federal agencies in recent years, but all meaningful work flows through USDA Forest Service Region 6 and BLM Oregon-Washington. The vendor operates as a 100% prime contractor footprint with no subcontract work in the source data.

Representative capability work illustrates the scope: a $178,896 purchase order from USDA Forest Service Pacific Northwest Region (May 2026) requires treatment of 2,278 Douglas-fir trees across 505 acres using high and base girdling methods to create cavity-nesting habitat, with compensation issued tree-by-tree on quality assurance approval; a $221,022 firm fixed-price BPA call from BLM Oregon-Washington (September 2023) for coarse woody debris creation in Tillamook County running through December 2026; and a $138,290 task order for wildlife habitat enhancement on the Siuslaw Cascades West District backlog project (October 2024) completing December 2027. Prevailing wage applies to climber and faller positions, with work encompassing labor, equipment, GPS mapping, and compliance reporting.

Warner Creek Co operates under a single Blanket Purchase Agreement for Wildlife Tree and Down Wood Creation valid through January 1, 2030, which enables both USDA Forest Service and BLM to issue task orders for habitat improvement across the Pacific Northwest. The top five parent vehicles are agency indefinite delivery contracts and BPAs: IDC AG04T0C160004 carries 19 task orders and $1.7 million combined potential value; IDC AG04R4C070061 carries 21 task orders and $909 thousand; IDC AG04T0C130006 carries 17 task orders and $915 thousand; BPA 1240BK21A0002 carries 13 task orders and $1.6 million; and IDC AG84N8C120016 carries 12 task orders and $164 thousand.

Activity has declined in recent years from four awards in 2022 to one award in 2026, though this reflects the snapshot timing (early July 2026) rather than sustained trajectory. Four awards with ultimate completion dates in the next twenty-four months carry combined potential value of $696 thousand and face recompete. The vendor's 162 total awards span from June 1999 through May 2026, with $11.8 million combined potential value and $6.5 million obligated (55% of potential value across the footprint). Work is performed in Oregon, with field locations including the Willamette National Forest, Siuslaw Field Office, and counties including Tillamook, Lane, and Benton.
