Blackhawk Enterprises

Blackhawk Enterprises is a sole proprietorship that provides wildland fire management services to the U.S. Forest Service. Through past federal contracts and delivery orders, the company has supplied equipment, materials, supplies, transportation, lodging, trained personnel, and water handling services in support of fire suppression efforts and all-hazard incident response.

Specific goods and services Blackhawk Enterprises has provided under federal contracts include Type 3 water tenders, crane services, and water handling resources. These have been procured via delivery orders issued against Forest Service indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity contracts and blanket purchase agreements. Contracting agencies include the Forest Service's Fire and Aviation Management organization, National Interagency Fire Center, and Pacific Northwest regional office. Several orders utilized no set-aside designation, while others were set aside for small businesses.

Blackhawk Enterprises holds two indefinite delivery contracts with the Forest Service for water handling services, both set aside for small businesses. One is a multiple award vehicle managed by the National Interagency Fire Center to provide water handling across Forest Service regions 3, 5, 6, and 10 over a 5-year period. The other is specific to region 6 for water handling to support wildland fire operations and emergencies. Task orders under both contracts will procure the necessary equipment, transportation, personnel, and management to meet water handling specifications for fire suppression and all-hazard incident response.
