Grizzly Firefighters, Inc.

Grizzly Firefighters, Inc. is a minority-owned, woman-owned small business based in Salem, Oregon, that specializes in providing wildland firefighting services to the U.S. federal government. Registered in SAM.gov since 2004, the company offers comprehensive fire management and suppression support, including personnel, equipment, and expertise across multiple geographic regions. As a certified small business with multiple ownership classifications, including minority and Hispanic American owned, Grizzly Firefighters has established itself as a critical contractor in supporting federal wildfire response and management efforts.

The company has consistently been awarded delivery order contracts primarily from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Forest Service across multiple regions, including Regions 1 (Northern), 3 (Southwestern), 4 (Intermountain), 5 (Pacific Southwest), and 6 (Pacific Northwest). These contracts, ranging from $4,909 to $242,343, involve providing wildland firefighting services such as deploying Type 2 firefighter crews, water handling services, and comprehensive fire suppression and management activities. Most of these delivery orders are firm fixed-price contracts without specific set-aside designations, though they demonstrate Grizzly Firefighters' extensive capabilities in supporting federal fire management programs through personnel deployment, equipment provision, and specialized firefighting expertise.

Grizzly Firefighters holds three significant Indefinite Delivery Contracts (IDVs) with the Forest Service, all set aside for total small business participation. These include a $3.5 million IDV for national Type 2 firefighter crews valid through May 2026, and two additional water handling service contracts with ceiling values of $250,000 each. These IDVs enable the Forest Service to efficiently procure wildland firefighting capabilities across Regions 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 10, covering multiple western states. The contracts allow for deployment of specialized firefighter crews, water handling equipment including engines and water tenders, and comprehensive incident response support. Task orders under these IDVs have ranged from small-scale deployments to significant multi-region fire management support, highlighting Grizzly Firefighters' versatility and critical role in national wildfire preparedness and response efforts.
