C Silva, LLC

C Silva, LLC, a self-certified small disadvantaged business headquartered in Tiller, Oregon, provides vehicles with trained drivers and wildland fire support infrastructure to the Department of Agriculture's Forest Service as a prime contractor, operating exclusively on full-and-open federal purchase orders and indefinite-delivery contracts with no set-aside designations beyond the total small business vehicle-with-driver BPAs that structure most of its work.

C Silva's customer base is highly concentrated within Forest Service operations across the Western region. The source identifies three customer entities, all within the Department of Agriculture: the National Interagency Fire Center (6 awards, $1 million combined potential value), the Forest Service Pacific Northwest Region (5 awards, $450 thousand combined potential value), and the Forest Service broadly (2 awards, $123 thousand combined potential value). These three buckets account for 100% of C Silva's documented award portfolio.

The vendor's capability portfolio centers on vehicle-with-driver services for wildland fire suppression, all-hazard incident response, and related forest emergency operations. Representative work includes a $182,000 firm fixed-price purchase order from the Pacific Northwest Region awarded in July 2023 for vehicles with drivers supporting wildland fire and hazard incident response; a $120,400 purchase order awarded August 2024 for bulk water overhead fill station and type-1 tender support at the Homestead Complex in Roseburg, Oregon; and a $109,200 purchase order awarded August 2022 for a water truck and front-end loader at Windigo, Oregon. C Silva also holds three indefinite-delivery contracts, each with a $250,000 ceiling, awarded by the National Interagency Fire Center under the VIPR I-BPA (Vehicle with Driver, Regions 5 & 6 West Zone) vehicle for award dates June 7, 2023, February 6, 2026, and August 17, 2026, extending through 2028 and 2031 respectively. All work is classified under NAICS 4865 (All Other Transit and Ground Passenger Transportation) or 1153 (Support Activities for Forestry), with the primary PSC categorization as Natural Resources/Conservation—Forest-Range Fire Suppression/Presuppression.

Activity has been episodic rather than sustained. The vendor recorded two awards in 2021, one in 2022, two in 2023, two in 2024, and three in 2026, with combined potential value of $1.6 million across all thirteen awards. Obligated dollars total $497 thousand, representing 31% of the potential-value ceiling. The most recent award, the August 2026 VIPR I-BPA multiple-award vehicle-with-driver contract, signals continued engagement with the National Interagency Fire Center, which anchors the largest single customer concentration. C Silva operates as a 100% prime contractor with no documented subcontract work.
