Geisler Skidding Contractors

Geisler Skidding Contractors is a for-profit partnership based in Springerville, Arizona, registered in SAM.gov since 2003 and specializing in forestry, land management, infrastructure maintenance, and wildfire suppression services for federal agencies. The company provides critical services to the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Forest Service, particularly in the Southwestern Region (Region 3), focusing on road maintenance, skidding services, heavy equipment provision, and forest management activities. As a small business contractor, Geisler Skidding Contractors has developed a robust portfolio of federal contract work, demonstrating expertise in supporting national forest infrastructure and emergency response needs.

The company has consistently performed a wide range of services for federal agencies, primarily the U.S. Forest Service, including road surfacing, stabilization, maintenance, and equipment rental for forest management programs. Contract awards have covered activities such as road maintenance on National Forest System Roads, surface stabilization projects, emergency plumbing repairs, camping spur development, and skidding services for timber harvesting and fuels reduction. Most of these contracts have been either total small business set-aside or without specific set-aside designations, with contract values ranging from $3,390 to $1.6 million. The majority of work has been concentrated in Arizona, specifically in the Springerville, Alpine, and Overgaard districts, supporting forest infrastructure, wildfire preparedness, and land management operations.

Geisler Skidding Contractors holds multiple Indefinite Delivery Contracts (IDVs) and Blanket Purchase Agreements (BPAs) with federal agencies, particularly the National Interagency Fire Center and USDA Forest Service. These IDVs include multiple-award contracts for heavy equipment rental across USDA Forest Service Regions 3, 5, 6, and 8, with ceiling values typically around $250,000 and performance periods extending to 2028-2029. A significant BPA awarded in February 2023 provides a $50 million single-award contract for road maintenance services in Arizona through February 2033. These contract vehicles enable the rapid deployment of equipment and services for wildfire suppression, all-hazard incident response, and routine forest management activities, utilizing the Virtual Incident Procurement (VIPR) system to facilitate equipment and personnel dispatch.
