The Department of the Interior's Bureau of Land Management (BLM) awarded Scorched Earth Services, LLC, a minority-owned small disadvantaged business, a $47 million indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) contract titled "Alaska Type 2 Wildland Fire Hand Crew Services 2020-2025." This contract enables the BLM to rapidly obtain qualified personnel and equipment for wildfire initial attack and extended operations across multiple western states. Scorched Earth Services, LLC consistently serves as the prime contractor, providing Type 2 wildland firefighting hand crews, equipment, and management support on a time and materials basis. The contract does not utilize any set-aside designations. Through numerous delivery orders ranging from $15,600 to $672,780, Scorched Earth Services has deployed its crews to support federal wildfire suppression and management activities in locations such as Alaska, California, Idaho, Nevada, Oregon, South Dakota, and Wyoming.

The original procurement was a total small business set-aside, with the BLM seeking fully qualified Type 2 fire crews capable of initial attack and extended attack wildland fire suppression in Alaska. The award to Scorched Earth Services, LLC as the prime contractor allows the BLM to rapidly mobilize critical wildland firefighting resources to respond to complex fire situations and support the agency's broader fire management mission across the western United States.
