Wyeast Forestry LLC

Wyeast Forestry LLC, doing business as WY East Wildlands LLC, operates as a self-certified small disadvantaged business based in The Dalles, Oregon, delivering Type 2 wildland firefighter crews, emergency medical technician support, water handling equipment, and forest operations services to the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service as a prime contractor under small-business set-aside and full-and-open delivery orders. The company competes entirely as a prime (100% of its recent awards), with all work flowing through USDA Forest Service IDICs and delivery orders rather than government-wide vehicles or commercial GSA schedules.

Wyeast's customer base concentrates heavily within the Forest Service's regional network. The top five customer entities account for 88% of award count and 93% of combined potential value, all rooted in USDA Forest Service regions. The Pacific Northwest Region (R6) leads by volume (21 awards, $2.9 million combined potential value), followed by the Northern Region (R1, 8 awards, $1 million), the agency-level Forest Service organization (6 awards, $3.1 million), the Pacific Southwest Region (R5, 6 awards, $579 thousand), and the National Interagency Fire Center (3 awards, $750 thousand). Dollar concentration tilts slightly toward the agency-level category, which carries larger single awards, but R6 dominates on order count and regularity. The company holds no presence with DoD, DHS, or civilian agencies outside natural resource management.

Wyeast sits on three named IDICs: Indefinite Delivery Contract 1202SC21T2451 (18 task orders, $3 million combined potential value), Indefinite Delivery Contract AG04H1B179723 (13 task orders, $1.5 million), and Indefinite Delivery Contract AG04H1B179722 (10 task orders, $1.3 million). These vehicles are designated total small business set-asides and carry ceilings ranging from $250,000 to $2 million, supporting Type 2 wildland firefighter crew deployment, emergency medical services, and equipment supply across multiple Forest Service regions through May 2026 and August 2029. Recent delivery orders exemplify the work: a $197.9 thousand delivery order from Region 4 (Intermountain) for wildland fire and all-hazard incident response through July 2027, an $81.8 thousand order from the Forest Service for Type 2 firefighter crews in Fossil, Oregon through July 2027, and a $268.2 thousand delivery order from Alaska for wildland fire management and forest operations through May 2026.

Activity has remained modest and relatively flat over the past five years (two awards in 2022, eight in 2023, four each in 2024 and 2025, four in 2026), with combined potential value of $9 million and $5.9 million obligated (66% draw rate). Only two awards carry ultimate completion dates within the next twenty-four months, carrying combined potential value of $280 thousand — a limited recompete exposure window. Primary NAICS concentration sits in Support Activities for Forestry (49 of 50 awards), with all work classified under PSC Natural Resources/Conservation–Forest-Range Fire Suppression/Presuppression. The company holds no subcontractor relationships in the source record and operates exclusively as a prime.
