High Sierra Equipment LLC

High Sierra Equipment LLC, a woman-owned small disadvantaged business based in Highland Village, Texas, supplies water handling equipment and trained personnel for fire suppression and emergency response operations as a prime contractor under total small business set-asides. The vendor operates as a limited liability partnership and competes exclusively under small-business set-aside vehicles, with all three recent awards designated Total Small Business.

High Sierra Equipment's federal footprint is concentrated in wildfire and all-hazard response equipment provision. The vendor holds three Indefinite Delivery Contracts, all issued by the National Interagency Fire Center on behalf of the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service Region 5 (Pacific Southwest Region), each carrying a $250 thousand ceiling. The first award, dated June 4, 2025, covers VIPR I-BPA water handling equipment for the region's fire suppression and all-hazard incident response; a second award on June 13, 2025, reprises the same scope; and a third, dated February 6, 2026, continues the same service line. All three contracts run through June 13, 2030, and permit optional usage by the Department of the Interior, National Park Service, and Bureau of Indian Affairs. High Sierra Equipment is responsible for providing Type 3 and Type 6 Engines, Support Water Tenders (Type 1, 2, and 3), fully trained and certified personnel, transportation, lodging, and all necessary supplies. Pricing is structured on up to 16-hour daily shifts through Incident Blanket Purchase Agreements administered via the Virtual Incident Procurement system.

Customer concentration is absolute—100% of recent awards derive from the Department of Agriculture Forest Service, with no sub-award activity and no diversification across other agencies. Combined potential value across all three IDCs totals $750 thousand. Activity began mid-2025, with two awards placed that year and one in early 2026. The vendor's primary NAICS is Support Activities for Forestry, and all awards fall under the Natural Resources/Conservation—Forest-Range Fire Suppression/Presuppression PSC category.
