Shumas Fire & Equipment

Shumas Fire & Equipment is a woman-owned small business located in Red Bluff, California, with a registered SAM.gov profile since 2008. The company specializes in providing fire suppression equipment, heavy machinery, and logistical support services primarily to the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service. As a versatile vendor focused on wildland fire management and emergency response, Shumas Fire & Equipment has established itself as a key supplier of critical resources for firefighting and forest management operations across multiple western United States regions.

The company has consistently been awarded federal delivery order contracts, predominantly from the Forest Service's Pacific Southwest Region, to furnish fire equipment, supplies, and related resources. These contracts, ranging in value from approximately $32,000 to $87,400, have supported wildfire preparedness and response efforts in California, Oregon, and Nevada. While most contracts have not been designated as set-asides, Shumas Fire & Equipment has primarily received awards through competitive small business procurement processes. The delivery orders have included procurements of fire suppression equipment, heavy machinery, water handling services, transportation support, and logistical resources necessary for emergency response and forest management activities.

Shumas Fire & Equipment holds multiple Indefinite Delivery Contracts (IDCs) with the U.S. Forest Service, each valued at $250,000 and structured as multiple-award, total small business set-asides. These IDVs cover a wide range of resources including water handling equipment, Type 3 and 6 Engines, Support Water Tenders, miscellaneous heavy equipment like feller bunchers, mulchers, road graders, and skidders. The contracts serve Forest Service Regions 3, 5, 6, and 10, allowing the agency and cooperating entities to order equipment, personnel, and support services on-demand, with potential daily shift deployments up to 16 hours. These IDCs enable Shumas Fire & Equipment to provide critical resources for wildland fire suppression, all-hazard incidents, and prescribed project work across the western United States.
