Shan Creek Wildfire Suppression LLC

Shan Creek Wildfire Suppression LLC is a self-certified small disadvantaged, woman-owned limited liability company headquartered in Grants Pass, Oregon, that has established itself as a key contractor for the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Forest Service. The company specializes in providing comprehensive wildfire suppression services and equipment to support the federal government's fire management, response, and control programs across national forests and communities. Since registering with SAM.gov in March 2019, Shan Creek has developed a robust portfolio of federal contracts exceeding $500,000 in total value, demonstrating consistent performance and reliability in emergency response operations.

Shan Creek Wildfire Suppression has delivered a diverse range of goods and services through its federal contract awards, all issued by the U.S. Forest Service across multiple regions. The company provides equipment, materials, transportation, lodging, and trained personnel to support wildland firefighting efforts and all-hazard incidents. Service delivery has encompassed fire suppression operations across the Pacific Southwest Region (Region 5), Pacific Northwest Region (Region 6), and other western Forest Service regions including areas in California, Oregon, and Washington. The contract awards have been structured as delivery orders under larger indefinite delivery contracts, with individual task order values ranging from approximately $2,000 to over $123,000. Notable delivery orders include a $123,764.01 contract awarded in August 2023 for Pacific Northwest region wildfire suppression, a $73,963.00 contract in September 2024 for emergency response support, and a $71,964.00 contract for Pacific Southwest fire management operations. All delivery orders were issued on a firm fixed-price basis with no set-aside designations applied, indicating the contractor was selected based on competitive merit rather than socioeconomic preferences, despite the company's status as a small disadvantaged and woman-owned business.

Shan Creek Wildfire Suppression currently holds five Indefinite Delivery Contracts with the U.S. Forest Service, all awarded through the National Interagency Fire Center and structured as firm fixed-price agreements set aside for total small businesses. These IDCs provide a combined ceiling value of $1,250,000 and enable the Forest Service to issue task orders flexibly as emergency needs arise. The first IDC, awarded in June 2022, covers water handling services for Regions 3, 5, 6, and 10 with a $250,000 ceiling and a performance period extending through June 2025. Four additional IDCs were awarded in 2024 and 2025, each with $250,000 ceilings and performance periods extending through 2029 or 2030. These contracts cover specialized equipment categories including miscellaneous heavy equipment for both the Pacific Southwest Region and Pacific Northwest Region, as well as water handling equipment specifically for Regions 5 and 6. The contracts utilize the Virtual Incident Procurement (VIPR) system as the procurement mechanism and allow task orders ranging from $4,000 to over $120,000, providing the Forest Service with rapid access to critical firefighting resources including Type 3 and 6 Engines, Support Water Tenders, and Tactical Water Tenders. Through these IDVs, Shan Creek delivers equipment, materials, supplies, transportation, lodging, and trained certified personnel to support wildfire suppression, prescribed project work, and all-hazard incident response throughout the western United States.
