Western Timber Management LLC

Western Timber Management LLC, a Colorado-based small business limited liability company operating as a prime contractor, delivers mechanical vegetation management, hazardous fuels reduction, and forest restoration services exclusively to federal land management agencies under total small business set-asides and full-and-open awards. The vendor holds a $50 million multiple-award BPA with the USDA Forest Service (Land Management Integrated Resources National BPA, valid through March 2033) and operates under primary NAICS 115310 (Support Activities for Forestry), with 100% of its 51 prime awards concentrated in vegetation treatment work — mastication, juniper reduction, mechanical thinning, and brush removal across western public lands.

Western Timber Management's customer base is split between two Department of the Interior bureaus and one USDA agency, though the distribution between award count and potential value reveals structural tension. The Bureau of Land Management Colorado Region accounts for 21 awards ($1.3 million combined potential value), and the BLM Idaho Region for 13 awards ($1.6 million), but the Department of Agriculture Forest Service Washington Office Acquisitions anchors the portfolio's economic value with a single $50 million award — the LMIR BPA itself. The BLM National Office adds 9 awards ($6.2 million combined potential value), and the Forest Service R2-Rocky Mountain Region contributes 5 awards ($315 thousand). Together, these five funding offices represent 100% of the vendor's combined potential value across all awards.

The vendor operates under two primary IDCs with BLM and places task orders against the LMIR BPA. The Indefinite Delivery Contract INL15PC00081 (BLM) carries 19 task orders worth $1.1 million combined potential value, and IDC 140L0620D0056 (BLM) carries 13 task orders worth $1.2 million. Against the LMIR BPA, Western Timber has placed 2 task orders valued at $314 thousand. Recent representative work includes a $186,240 Total Small Business BPA call from USDA Forest Service for mechanical mastication at Brushy Point, Craig, Colorado (June 2026); a $127,600 Total Small Business BPA call from Forest Service for FY26 Summit Point Mastication, Denver, Colorado (September 2026); and an $70,875 Total Small Business purchase order from BLM for the Oak Meadows Mountain Springs Mastication Project near Glenwood Springs, Colorado (August 2026), requiring masticating and mowing of 189 acres with equipment limited to rubber-tired or tracked machinery.

Activity has declined year over year — seven awards in 2022 to three in 2026 — with minimal recompete exposure in the next twenty-four months (three awards, combined potential value $385 thousand completing by October 2027). The vendor competes exclusively under set-asides; every award carries a Total Small Business designation except one full-and-open delivery order for $54,810 (Pitcher's Mound, August 2024). Award obligated dollars track at only 6% of combined potential value ($3.5 million obligated across $59.5 million potential), indicating the portfolio consists largely of indefinite-delivery vehicles and blanket purchase agreements generating task-order revenue rather than firm fixed-price contracts. Western Timber has not bid as a subcontractor in the source data; 100% of its footprint is prime awards.
