Forestry & Land Management Government Contracts

Federal forestry and land-management contracts set aside for small business — fuels reduction, tree work, and forest support services on public lands.

The Forest Service, BLM, and other land agencies buy hazardous-fuels reduction, thinning and mastication, tree planting, timber-stand improvement, and fire-support services — much of it as small-business set-asides sized for local operators with the right equipment.

Forestry & Land Management contracts — common questions

How do I get Forest Service or BLM contracts?expand_more

Register on SAM.gov under NAICS 115310 (Support Activities for Forestry), and watch the ranger districts and field offices where your equipment already operates. This work is geographic by nature — agencies routinely set requirements aside for small business, and mobilization distance matters in evaluation.

What equipment and qualifications do I need?expand_more

Whatever the treatment calls for — masticators, feller-bunchers, chippers, planting crews — plus the fire-season qualifications (incident qualifications cards, agreements) if you want fire-support work. The solicitation lists required capabilities explicitly.

Is this work set aside for small business?expand_more

Heavily. Fuels-reduction and forestry-support requirements almost always satisfy the Rule of Two among regional operators, so small-business set-asides are the norm, with 8(a) and tribal set-asides common in some regions.
