About this award
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Region 8, awarded a $65,745 firm fixed-price purchase order to Smokeys Helping Hand, LLC, a minority-owned small business based in Denver, Colorado, to perform sawyer crew services at Kern National Wildlife Refuge in Delano, California. The contract, designated as a total small business set-aside, involves removing mature salt cedar trees using chainsaws across upland habitat that supports endangered species including the San Joaquin kit fox and blunt-nosed leopard lizard. Work includes cutting salt cedar trees to a maximum height of 18 inches off the ground across the specified acreage, with all work performed on foot during standard business hours (7:00 AM to 3:30 PM, Monday through Friday). This modification extends the period of performance through September 30, 2026, and ensures compliance with updated federal guidance while removing non-statutory sustainability requirements.
Smokeys Helping Hand brings extensive expertise in ecosystem restoration and vegetation management across federal lands, with a track record of successful contract performance for the Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management, and National Park Service. The contractor maintains three significant Indefinite Delivery Vehicles, including a $50 million Blanket Purchase Agreement with the U.S. Forest Service's Pacific Northwest Region for integrated land management services, positioning the company to support multiple federal agencies in environmental restoration and hazard fuels reduction initiatives. The Kern National Wildlife Refuge project aligns with the Fish and Wildlife Service's broader mission of ecosystem health improvement and wildfire risk mitigation on refuge lands.
