As a prime contractor, the company has received federal contracts to supply trained personnel, equipment such as chippers and excavators, and services including water handling and land management to support wildfire response efforts and forestry programs.

Specific services provided by Bella Wildfire & Forestry under past federal contracts as a prime contractor include chipper operations, water handling, wildfire suppression assistance, and general forestry management services. Contracting agencies have been the USDA Forest Service Regions 3, 5, 6 and 10, with delivery orders issued by regional offices to supply equipment and services on a short-term basis in locations across California and Nevada. Set aside designations on awards have included small business and minority-owned business. During major wildfire events, the company has received federal contracts for incident support services valued from approximately $20,000 to $300,000 over periods of one to two months.

Bella Wildfire & Forestry currently holds three indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity (IDIQ) contracts with the USDA Forest Service to provide wildfire and forestry services, chippers, water handling capabilities, and other heavy equipment across Forest Service Regions 3, 5, 6 and 10 on an as-needed basis. The multiple award IDIQ vehicles facilitate the issuance of firm fixed price delivery orders to Bella Wildfire & Forestry by regional Forest Service offices to quickly procure critical resources for emergency response and land management activities. Delivery orders awarded to the company against these IDIQs since 2021 have ranged from approximately $8,700 to $70,700 for short term wildfire or forestry services in locations such as Grass Valley, Nevada City and Eureka, California.
