Arnold Barbara

Arnold Barbara is a woman-owned small business based in Eureka, California, registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) since 2011, with a current registration valid through March 2026. The company primarily provides transportation services to federal agencies, specializing in vehicle rental and transportation support for wildfire suppression and all-hazard incident response activities. As a sole proprietorship and for-profit organization, Arnold Barbara has established itself as a reliable vendor for the U.S. Forest Service across multiple regions in the western United States.

The company has consistently been awarded federal contract delivery orders from the U.S. Forest Service, primarily focusing on providing various vehicles including pickup trucks, stake side vehicles, passenger vans, and sport utility vehicles to support emergency response and natural resource management programs. These contracts, ranging from $7,023 to $19,946, have been awarded across multiple Forest Service regions, including the Intermountain Region (Region 4), Pacific Southwest Region (Region 5), and Pacific Northwest Region (Region 6). None of the contracts have had specific set-aside designations, and they have been consistently structured as firm fixed price delivery orders, demonstrating Arnold Barbara's versatility in supporting wildland fire and incident response operations across different geographical areas.

Arnold Barbara holds two significant Indefinite Delivery Contracts (IDVs) with the U.S. Forest Service, both valued at $250,000 and set aside for total small business participation. The first IDV, awarded in June 2023, covers vehicle with driver services for Regions 5 and 6 in the western United States through June 2028. The second IDV, originally awarded in May 2020 and valid through June 2023, provides similar vehicle and driver services for the Pacific Northwest Region. These contracts enable Arnold Barbara to provide transportation services including pickup trucks, fuel tenders, and other vehicle support on an as-needed basis for wildland fire suppression and all-hazard incident response. Task orders under these IDVs have been issued for locations including Ellensburg, Washington, Eureka, California, and Baker City, Oregon, highlighting the company's broad operational capabilities across multiple western states.
