Sawtooth Firewise LLC

Sawtooth Firewise LLC is a self-certified small disadvantaged, economically disadvantaged woman-owned small business located in Medford, Oregon. The company specializes in wildland fire mitigation and vegetation management services for federal agencies, particularly the U.S. Forest Service. Sawtooth Firewise provides critical services aimed at reducing wildfire risks, managing hazardous fuels, and supporting cooperative forestry programs across multiple western U.S. regions, including Regions 3, 5, 6, and 10.

The company has consistently been awarded federal delivery order contracts focusing on wildland fire prevention and mitigation. These contracts, ranging from $2,929 to $41,600, involve vegetation treatment, hazardous fuels reduction, and community outreach education programs. The primary funding agency has been the U.S. Forest Service, specifically its Pacific Northwest (Region 6) and Pacific Southwest (Region 5) regions. All contract awards have been issued as firm fixed-price delivery orders, and while no specific set-aside designations were used for individual task orders, Sawtooth Firewise leverages its small disadvantaged business status to compete for contract opportunities.

Sawtooth Firewise holds three Indefinite Delivery Contracts (IDVs) with the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service, each valued at $250,000. These IDVs are designated as total small business set-asides and enable the company to compete for task orders across multiple forest service regions. The contracts cover services including vehicle with driver support, chipper and crew services, and wildland fire mitigation resources. The IDVs have performance periods extending to 2029 and 2030, with the National Interagency Fire Center serving as the funding agency. These contract vehicles allow Sawtooth Firewise to provide equipment, personnel, and specialized services supporting local, regional, and nationwide fire suppression and all-hazard incident response efforts.
