Sierra Tahoe Environmental Management, LLC

Sierra Tahoe Environmental Management, LLC operates as a prime contractor delivering forest stewardship, hazard-tree management, and post-wildfire restoration services to the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service, with all recent work performed under firm fixed-price definitive contracts awarded without set-aside designation.

The vendor's footprint is concentrated and recent. Two prime contracts with the USDA Forest Service Region 5 (Pacific Southwest Region) account for the entire $89.6 million in combined potential value: a $85.8 million firm fixed-price contract awarded December 31, 2023, for SPIRIT G-Z Stewardship integrated resource management and forest restoration on Plumas National Forest (Beckwourth, Feather River, and Mt. Hough roads), with performance through December 31, 2031, and a $3.8 million firm fixed-price contract awarded January 17, 2024, for hazard-tree stewardship services along roads impacted by wildfires within Plumas National Forest, with performance through October 31, 2026. Both contracts were awarded under the Stewardship Authority of Public Law 108-148. The vendor also holds a grant sub-award from Patriot Restoration Ops (May 2025) for fuel-load off-haul from National Forest work. SCI-reported invoicing for FY2024 shows $2.6 million across 3.5 FTEs, all self-performed by the prime; government-paid hourly rates on those contracts ranged from the 10th percentile of $73.59 per hour to a median of $220.82 per hour, with senior labor priced through $368.05 per hour.

The vendor faces a single recompete exposure in the next twenty-four months: the $3.8 million hazard-tree contract completing October 31, 2026. The larger $85.8 million SPIRIT G-Z contract does not recompete until December 2031. Sierra Tahoe operates across natural resources and conservation work (NAICS Support Activities for Forestry, PSC Natural Resources/Conservation—Other), with all activity rooted in the Forest Service's Pacific Southwest Region and no federal contract vehicle or GWAC footprint in the source data. The vendor neither engages subcontractors on its SCI-reportable prime work nor reports named sub work in the contracting domain; subcontracting activity is limited to the single grant sub-award line.
