Wladimir Sierra

Wladimir Sierra, a minority-owned, self-certified small disadvantaged business and Hispanic American-owned sole proprietorship based in Dardanelle, Arkansas, operates as a prime contractor delivering vegetation management, silviculture, and forestry services exclusively to the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service under Total Small Business set-asides and open competitive task orders. The vendor competes entirely under set-asides or full-and-open mechanics and has not subcontracted on any federal awards in the source dataset.

Sierra's capability portfolio centers on herbicide application (foliar spray and hack-and-squirt), site preparation, timber stand improvement, midstory reduction, invasive species control, and reforestation across national forests in the South. Representative work includes a $250,200 firm fixed-price task order (June 2026) for cut-surface and foliar-spray midstory reduction at Bienville National Forest, Mississippi; a $159,280 chemical site-preparation BPA call (August 2026) on 905 acres of Kisatchie National Forest in Louisiana to prepare land for 2027 planting; a $192,000 prairie restoration and invasive species control task order (April 2026) on 2,000 acres of Kisatchie National Forest; and a $113,520 call (May 2026) for prairie restoration and non-native invasive species control on Kisatchie's Calcareous Prairie. Work extends to hazardous fuels reduction, Red-cockaded Woodpecker habitat protection, and post-disaster recovery following Hurricane Beryl and flooding events.

Customer concentration is extreme and transparent. The Department of Agriculture Forest Service R8-Southern Region accounts for 40 awards (67% coverage by count) and $44.1 million (86% of combined potential value); the Forest Service R9-Eastern Region holds 9 awards and $6.5 million; unspecified Forest Service offices hold 10 awards and $475 thousand. Sierra has served no other federal agencies in recent years. The vendor's five active BPAs dominate the footprint: a $10 million single-award vegetation-management BPA (August 2023, expiring July 2028) focused on Mississippi national forests; two $7.5 million BPAs for Kisatchie National Forest in Louisiana (December 2022, expiring November 2027 and extending through February 2028); and a $7.5 million BPA awarded September 2025 (expiring August 2030) for The Forests Project work across multiple Texas national forests addressing Hurricane Beryl damage. Task orders under these BPAs represent the bulk of recent activity, with 21 orders under one IDC, 10 under another BPA, and six under a third.

Activity has remained modest and level. Sierra received four awards in 2022, six in 2023, five in 2024, five in 2025, and eight through mid-2026—a flat to slightly declining trajectory after peaking in 2023. Nine awards totaling $849 thousand face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, presenting a moderate recompete exposure window. Combined potential value across all 59 prime awards stands at $51.1 million; combined dollars obligated total $4.1 million (8% of potential value), indicating the BPAs and task orders are largely uncalled or in early drawdown. Service Contract Inventory data captures only one SCI-reportable record (FY2022), showing $503 thousand in invoiced amount across 6.9 FTEs at a median government-paid rate of $35.00/hour, reflecting field labor rather than engineering or professional services. The SCI dataset is a small slice of Sierra's federal forestry work and excludes goods, micro-purchases, and the bulk of the vendor's task-order volume on the active BPAs.
