Pemberto Leona

Pemberto Leona, doing business as Silver Tip Forestry, is a woman-owned small business registered in SAM.gov since June 19, 2003, located in Kettle Falls, Washington. The company specializes in providing wildland fire suppression vehicles, equipment, and related services to federal agencies, with a particular focus on supporting U.S. Forest Service operations. As a sole proprietorship, Silver Tip Forestry has established itself as a key supplier of fire engines and water handling services for emergency response and fire suppression efforts across multiple western U.S. Forest Service regions.

The company has consistently been awarded federal contract delivery orders primarily from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Forest Service, with a specific emphasis on supplying Type 6 fire engines and supporting wildland fire operations. These contracts, ranging in value from $6,300 to $40,950, have been issued to Silver Tip Forestry without specific set-aside designations, though the company qualifies as a woman-owned small business. The delivery orders have been concentrated in Forest Service Regions 2 (Rocky Mountain) and 6 (Pacific Northwest), with contracts involving the provision of firefighting vehicles, equipment, and support services for fire suppression and emergency response scenarios.

Silver Tip Forestry holds a significant Indefinite Delivery Contract with the U.S. Forest Service, valued at $250,000, which was awarded on June 7, 2022, and is set to complete by June 7, 2025. This multiple-award contract, designated for total small businesses, covers water handling services across Forest Service Regions 3, 5, 6, and 10. The contract enables Silver Tip Forestry to provide comprehensive resources including equipment, materials, transportation, lodging, trained personnel, and management support for severity, fire suppression, and all-hazard incidents. The contract was competitively awarded through the Forest Service's Equipment and Services Branch and allows the company to support local, regional, and nationwide emergency response efforts with specialized water handling capabilities.
