Jl&S Contracting, Inc.

Jl&S Contracting, Inc. is a minority-owned, SBA-certified 8(a) small disadvantaged business located in Salem, Oregon, specializing in wildland fire suppression and incident response services. Registered in SAM.gov since 2003, the company provides comprehensive support to federal agencies, primarily focusing on emergency management and natural resource protection. As a Hispanic American-owned, for-profit organization, Jl&S Contracting has developed a niche in supplying Type 2 firefighter crews, vehicles, equipment, and personnel to support critical public land management and emergency response efforts.

The company has consistently secured federal contract awards from the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service, particularly in the Pacific Northwest Region, with contracts ranging from $10,400 to $538,429.46. These contracts have primarily involved wildland fire suppression services, including providing trained firefighter crews, incident support services, and specialized equipment like chippers. Most of Jl&S Contracting's federal contracts have been delivered order contracts without specific set-aside designations, though they have participated in total small business set-aside procurements. The company has demonstrated capability in supporting fire suppression and all-hazard incident response across multiple Forest Service regions, including Regions 3, 5, 6, and 10, with a proven track record of supporting emergency management operations.

Jl&S Contracting holds three critical Indefinite Delivery Contracts (IDCs) with the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service and National Interagency Fire Center. These IDCs include a $250,000 contract for chippers in Regions 5 and 6, another $250,000 IDC for chippers in Regions 3, 5, 6, and 10, and a third $250,000 contract for National Type 2 Firefighter Crews. Each of these multiple-award, total small business set-aside contracts allows for task order issuance through 2024-2029, enabling the company to provide flexible, on-demand support for wildland fire suppression, severity response, and all-hazard incident management across federal lands. The IDCs demonstrate Jl&S Contracting's strategic positioning to support critical emergency response and resource management efforts at a national scale.
