White Horse Forestry, Inc.

White Horse Forestry, Inc., a woman-owned small business based in Alberton, Montana, delivers forestry services and wildfire support resources to the U.S. Forest Service and National Interagency Fire Center as a prime contractor exclusively, holding multiple indefinite delivery contracts under the Virtual Incident Procurement (VIPR) system. The company operates across total small business set-asides on its IDC vehicles and competes predominantly on Forest Service regional delivery orders without set-aside restrictions, reflecting its established position as a preseason and incident-response resource for federal land management and fire suppression operations.

White Horse Forestry specializes in vegetation management, wildfire prevention support, integrated pest management, faller services, water handling equipment and personnel, single faller capabilities, and land stewardship—all grounded in its 69 prime awards across recent years. Representative work includes a $31,209 May 2026 delivery order from the U.S. Forest Service Region 9 (Eastern Region) for forestry services in Wisconsin under a Total Small Business set-aside, a $85,534.79 August 2025 delivery order from Forest Service Region 1 for specialized forestry support in Idaho, and multiple type-6 fire engine procurements valued between $18,573.45 and $40,678.74 from the National Interagency Fire Center beginning in 2021. The company also holds three active IDCs awarded in 2025 and 2026 under NIFC's VIPR program: a $250,000 water-handling contract for East Zone Regions 1, 2, 4, and 9 (awarded February 6, 2026), a $250,000 faller-services contract for East Zone Regions 1, 2, and 4 (awarded February 6, 2026), and a renewed water-handling VIPR I-BPA for the same regions (awarded May 30, 2025).

The company's customer concentration is concentrated within the Department of Agriculture. The Forest Service Fire and Aviation Management National Interagency Fire Center accounts for 18 awards worth $1.9 million in combined potential value, while Forest Service Region 1 (Northern Region) leads by volume at 38 awards totaling $1.6 million. Together, these two customers represent the bulk of White Horse Forestry's activity; the remaining top-five customer slate includes the generic Forest Service organization, Forest Service Region 3 (Southwestern Region), and the Department of Interior Bureau of Land Management Montana-Dakotas, covering 91% of awards and 98% of combined potential value. The delivery order stream flows through five primary parent vehicles: Indefinite Delivery Contract 1202SB23T7666 (10 task orders, $301 thousand), IDC 12034320T7027 (10 task orders, $288 thousand), IDC 12034319T7156 (7 task orders, $214 thousand), IDC 1202SB22T7606 (6 task orders, $151 thousand), and Blanket Purchase Agreement AG0343B167154 (5 task orders, $98 thousand). All task orders are firm fixed-price and operate outside additional set-asides once awarded from the set-aside IDCs.

White Horse Forestry's activity has remained relatively flat over the past five years—seven awards in 2022 and 2023, eight in 2024, and three each in 2025 and 2026—yielding a combined potential value of $3.6 million across 69 prime awards, with $1.5 million obligated to date (41% of potential). The company's capability portfolio is tightly concentrated in forestry and wildfire response: the top NAICS is Support Activities for Forestry (67 of 69 awards), and the top PSC is Natural Resources/Conservation—Forest-Range Fire Suppression/Presuppression (66 awards). White Horse Forestry does not subcontract and operates as a sole prime on all awards, reflecting its model as a direct provider of specialized labor and equipment for incident response across Forest Service regions and the National Interagency Fire Center's dispatch system.
