Silver Creek Contracting & Forestry LLC

Silver Creek Contracting & Forestry LLC, a minority-owned, Hispanic American-owned small disadvantaged business based in Salem, Oregon, provides Type 2 wildland firefighter crews (20-person teams) for wildfire suppression and all-hazard incident response to the U.S. Forest Service as a prime contractor under total small business set-asides and full-and-open delivery orders. The company operates as a for-profit limited liability corporation and competes entirely under its own prime awards, with no subcontract footprint.

Silver Creek's customer base is concentrated entirely within the Department of Agriculture's Forest Service, with regional offices accounting for 93% of recent award count. The National Interagency Fire Center (NIFC) dominates the potential-value ranking at $2 million on a single indefinite-delivery contract vehicle, while the Pacific Northwest Region (R6) places four delivery orders valued at $847 thousand combined, and the Rocky Mountain Region (R2) and Intermountain Region (R4) together account for $856 thousand across four orders. The company also holds four smaller delivery orders with the Forest Service's national office tier valued at $342 thousand combined. This concentration is entirely within wildland fire management; all 14 awards span support activities for forestry (NAICS 113110) and natural resources conservation/forest-range fire suppression (PSC 4400).

Silver Creek holds a single parent vehicle: a multiple-award indefinite-delivery contract awarded by the National Interagency Fire Center on May 15, 2024, with a $2 million ceiling and an ultimate completion date of July 1, 2027. The Forest Service has issued 13 delivery orders under this vehicle since May 2024, collectively valued at $2.3 million. Named recent delivery orders include a $350,942.98 order from the Pacific Northwest Region (August 12, 2026), a $249,895.80 order from the same region (August 10, 2026), a $275,849.91 order from the Rocky Mountain Region (July 12, 2024), and a $245,244.30 order from the Pacific Southwest Region (September 2, 2025). All delivery orders carry firm fixed-price terms and performance dates through May 10, 2026, or July 1, 2027.

Activity shows nine awards in 2024, one in 2025, and four in 2026. Four awards (combined potential value $847 thousand) reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, creating recompete exposure centered on the Pacific Northwest Region's outstanding orders. Combined obligated dollars across all awards total $2.3 million (53% of combined potential value), indicating partial performance or task-order draw-down against the $2 million parent IDIQ as of the source date.
