Sierra Forest Products

Sierra Forest Products is a self-certified small disadvantaged business and for-profit manufacturer incorporated as a Subchapter S Corporation, headquartered in Terra Bella, California. The company specializes in comprehensive forestry and ecosystem management services, with a particular focus on hazardous fuels reduction, timber removal, and forest restoration initiatives across federal lands in the Pacific Southwest region. Since registering with SAM.gov in March 2008, Sierra Forest Products has established itself as a critical partner to the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service, leveraging specialized expertise in post-fire recovery operations and sustainable forest management practices.

Sierra Forest Products has secured multiple substantial prime federal contract awards from the USDA Forest Service Pacific Southwest Region (Region 5), totaling approximately $10.8 million in recent contract actions. The company's contract work encompasses cutting and removal of fire-killed trees, extraction of sawtimber and biomass materials, forest road reconstruction and maintenance, and implementation of slash treatment strategies—all essential components of ecosystem restoration and hazardous fuels mitigation. Specific notable contracts include the Borel Fire Salvage Stewardship project ($2.14 million, awarded November 2025, completion August 2027), the Gigantea stewardship contract ($3.86 million, awarded September 2024, completion December 2027), the Coffee Stewardship Integrated Resource Service Contract ($2.38 million, awarded September 2022, completed December 2023), and the Lakeshore Revised Stewardship contract ($2.69 million, awarded August 2022, completion December 2024). All of these awards were issued as definitive contracts or blanket purchase agreement (BPA) calls with firm fixed-price structures and without set-aside designations, indicating the company's competitive standing in unrestricted federal procurement. The work has been geographically distributed across the Sequoia, Sierra, and Inyo National Forests in California, with operations conducted in locations including Lake Isabella, Prather, and Tulare County.

Sierra Forest Products has received one significant prime federal grant award from the USDA Forest Service. On August 5, 2024, the company was awarded a $3.55 million Project Grant under the Infrastructure and Investment Jobs Act Financial Assistance to Facilities program (CFDA 10.725), with an ultimate completion date of December 1, 2026. This grant specifically supports Sierra Forest Products' infrastructure investment in upgrading planer equipment to increase the company's capacity to process small-diameter timber and byproducts generated from ecosystem restoration projects on federal and Tribal lands. The grant reflects the Forest Service's recognition of the company's importance to the supply chain for sustainable wood products and its role in reducing the overall costs of vegetation removal and hazardous fuels treatment on public lands throughout the Pacific Southwest region.

Sierra Forest Products holds a significant $50 million single-award Blanket Purchase Agreement (Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity contract) with the USDA Forest Service Pacific Southwest Region, awarded on October 3, 2022, with a performance period extending through October 3, 2032. This IDIQ contract serves as the parent vehicle for multiple task orders and contract calls and enables the company to provide comprehensive stewardship services across the Inyo, Sequoia, and Sierra National Forests in California. The BPA does not fall under any parent vehicle structure and was awarded without set-aside designation, indicating that it was competed on an unrestricted basis. Under this umbrella agreement, the Forest Service has issued multiple task orders for specific stewardship projects, including the aforementioned Borel Fire Salvage, Gigantea, Coffee Stewardship, and Lakeshore projects. The BPA structure allows the Forest Service flexibility to issue additional task orders for hazardous fuels reduction, timber and biomass removal, road reconstruction, and ecosystem restoration services as operational and funding needs arise throughout the covered national forests.
