Black Bear Trees

Black Bear Trees is a for-profit corporate entity registered in SAM.gov, located in Grass Valley, California, with a current registration valid through April 1, 2026. The company appears to specialize in providing equipment and services related to wildfire management and forestry operations, with a focus on supporting U.S. Forest Service fire suppression and emergency response capabilities. While limited background information is available from the provided federal award history, the company's contract awards suggest it is a small business contractor working primarily within the U.S. Forest Service's Region 5 (Pacific Southwest Region).

The federal contract awards indicate Black Bear Trees provides specialized equipment and services for wildfire management, specifically chippers, water handling equipment, and related support services for fire suppression operations. The company has been awarded two key contracts from the U.S. Forest Service, both designated as total small business set-asides. One specific task order valued at $50,151.49 was awarded on September 8, 2024, for an unspecified procurement labeled "BLACK BEAR TREES CATNF001251 E244". These contracts suggest the company supplies critical equipment and potentially operational support for wildland fire management and emergency response scenarios.

Black Bear Trees holds two Indefinite Delivery Contracts (IDVs) with the U.S. Forest Service, both through the National Interagency Fire Center. The first IDV, awarded on June 4, 2025, covers water handling equipment for fire suppression, including Type 3 and 6 Engines and Support Water Tenders, with a $250,000 ceiling value. The second IDV, awarded on May 28, 2024, focuses on chippers and related services for fire suppression and prescribed project work, also with a $250,000 ceiling value. Both IDVs are multiple award contracts set aside for small businesses, with performance periods extending to 2025 and 2029 respectively. These contracts will be administered through the Virtual Incident Procurement (VIPR) system, allowing for competitive task order issuance during emergency and planned forestry operations.
