Saw Livin Inc.

Saw Livin Inc., a for-profit small business based in Klamath Falls, Oregon, provides wildland fire management, water handling, heavy equipment operations, and natural resource stewardship services to the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service as a prime contractor on total small business set-aside Indefinite Delivery Contracts and open-competition delivery orders. The company operates exclusively as a prime (100% of recent awards) and competes predominantly under Federal Acquisition Regulation total small business set-asides on parent IDIQs held with the National Interagency Fire Center and the Forest Service's Pacific Northwest Region.

Saw Livin Inc.'s federal footprint is tightly concentrated in wildland fire and land stewardship. The company's capability portfolio centers on water tender vehicles, heavy equipment operations (dozers, excavators, and support equipment), incident response personnel and materials transportation, vegetation management, and trail maintenance — goods and services delivered on short-notice task orders to support emergency wildfire suppression, prescribed burn operations, and all-hazard incident response across the Pacific Northwest and western United States. Recent representative awards include a $42,450 delivery order from the Forest Service Pacific Northwest Region (July 2026) for water handling and equipment support in Lakeview, Oregon; a $94,605 delivery order (August 2025) for wildland fire operations in the same region; a $72,228 delivery order (September 2024) for water handling and heavy equipment operations; and a $69,495 delivery order (July 2024) for incident response support.

Customer concentration is extreme. The Department of Agriculture Forest Service's Pacific Northwest Region (Region 6) dominates both volume and dollars, with 49 awards carrying $1.5 million in combined potential value; the Fire and Aviation Management National Interagency Fire Center accounts for 10 awards at $2.8 million combined potential value. These two customer units represent 96% of award count and 99% of combined potential value across the vendor's footprint. The Bureau of Land Management Idaho Region and Oregon-Washington offices account for the remainder. Saw Livin Inc. serves five distinct agencies total.

The vendor holds seven parent IDIQs, all total small business set-asides with the National Interagency Fire Center or the Forest Service, collectively valued at $2.75 million in ceiling value and with performance periods extending through 2030. The highest-volume vehicles by task-order count are Indefinite Delivery Contract 1202SB22T8090 (17 task orders, $360 thousand combined potential value), IDC 1204H125T7420 (11 task orders, $234 thousand combined potential value), BPA AG04H1B167332 (8 task orders, $161 thousand combined potential value), and IDC 1204H119T7321 (6 task orders, $196 thousand combined potential value). These vehicles span water handling equipment in Region 6 and the West Zone (Regions 5 and 6), miscellaneous heavy equipment for the Pacific Northwest, and heavy equipment for West Zone regions. The vehicles are positioned to issue task orders rapidly for emergency dispatch — a characteristic that drives high award frequency and small individual order values.

Activity has grown unevenly: one award in 2022, seven in 2023, thirteen in 2024, nine in 2025, and ten through August 2026. Total awards stand at 69 with combined potential value of $4.5 million and combined dollars obligated at $1.2 million (26% of potential). The median delivery order is small by federal contract standards — most individual awards cluster between $1,700 and $100,000 — consistent with incident-response dispatch pricing under VIPR I-BPA vehicles. The vendor carries no subcontract footprint; all 69 awards are prime work. NAICS representation is nearly monolithic: 67 of 69 awards fall under Support Activities for Forestry, with PSC 0304 (Natural Resources Conservation — Forest-Range Fire Suppression/Presuppression) covering 64 awards. This is a vendor whose entire federal portfolio is native to the wildfire and land-stewardship mission space.
