About this award
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Region 8 awarded a $39,330 firm fixed price contract to Smokeys Helping Hand, LLC, a minority-owned small disadvantaged business based in Denver, Colorado, for tamarisk removal services at the Kern National Wildlife Refuge in Wasco, California. The contract, which was set aside for small businesses, represents a call against the Land Management Integrated Resources National Blanket Purchase Agreement and is scheduled for completion by August 29, 2026. Tamarisk removal efforts support the Fish and Wildlife Service's broader habitat restoration and ecosystem health objectives by controlling invasive saltcedar species that degrade riparian ecosystems and deplete water resources in western refuges.
Smokeys Helping Hand brings extensive expertise in vegetation management and environmental restoration, with a track record of delivering hazard fuels reduction, tree removal, and ecosystem improvement projects across federal lands in the western United States. The company holds multiple significant Indefinite Delivery Vehicles, including a $50 million single-award Blanket Purchase Agreement with the U.S. Forest Service Pacific Northwest Region and additional land management contracts that enable rapid response to federal agency environmental restoration needs. This Kern National Wildlife Refuge contract leverages the contractor's specialized capabilities in invasive species management and aligns with the Fish and Wildlife Service's stewardship mission to maintain healthy wildlife habitat and ecosystem functions.
