Fisk's Tree & Excavating Service

Fisk's Tree & Excavating Service is a self-certified small disadvantaged business located in Ahwahnee, California, registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) since 2002. As a sole proprietorship, the company specializes in providing tree and excavating services primarily to federal agencies, with a strong focus on supporting wildland fire operations and emergency response capabilities. The company operates in the western United States, particularly serving Forest Service regions in California, New Mexico, and surrounding areas.

The company has been awarded multiple delivery order contracts by the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service, primarily in Regions 5 (Pacific Southwest) and 3 (Southwestern). These contracts, ranging in value from $32,291.74 to $232,108.00, involve critical tree and excavating services for forestry management, emergency response, and incident support. The contracts have consistently been awarded without specific set-aside designations, though the company is recognized as a small disadvantaged business. The work has primarily been concentrated in locations such as San Bernardino, Porterville, Santa Fe, and other areas within these forest service regions, involving tasks related to equipment rental, heavy machinery operations, and support for wildland fire management.

Fisk's Tree & Excavating Service holds two significant Indefinite Delivery Contracts (IDVs) through the Virtual Incident Procurement (VIPR) system, each with a potential ceiling value of $250,000. These multiple award IDVs, set aside for total small business participation, enable the Forest Service to rapidly procure critical resources for wildland fire operations and all-hazard incidents. The first IDV covers Forest Service Regions 5 and 6 (Pacific Southwest and Pacific Northwest) and expires in June 2028, while the second IDV focuses specifically on Region 5 and expires in June 2023. These contracts allow for the procurement of heavy equipment such as dozers and excavators, along with associated materials, transportation, lodging, and certified personnel. The National Interagency Fire Center has been instrumental in awarding and managing these IDVs, which provide flexible, rapid-response capabilities for emergency and forestry management needs.
