Skyler Hurd Logging LLC

Skyler Hurd Logging LLC, a small business limited liability company based in Lewiston, Idaho, provides heavy equipment and trained personnel for wildland fire suppression, all-hazard incident response, and prescribed project work to the U.S. Forest Service as a prime contractor under total small business set-asides. All fourteen recent federal awards are prime contracts — ten indefinite delivery contracts (IDIQs) and two task order delivery orders — with no subcontract footprint. The vendor competes exclusively under total small business set-aside designations on National Interagency Fire Center Vendor Managed Inventory Incident Blanket Purchase Agreements (VIPR I-BPAs).

Skyler Hurd Logging specializes in deploying specialized heavy equipment such as bulldozers, excavators, feller bunchers, mulcher/masticators, road graders, and skidders alongside certified and trained personnel, materials, transportation, and lodging support for federal fire management and emergency response. Equipment is mobilized under rates supporting up to 16-hour daily shifts. Representative task order work includes a $249,150 firm fixed-price delivery order from the U.S. Forest Service Region 6 (Pacific Northwest Region) issued July 14, 2026 for fire suppression and incident response operations in Pendleton, Oregon, completing July 31, 2026, and a $27,900 delivery order from Region 1 (Northern Region) issued September 11, 2025 for equipment and personnel deployment in Kamiah, Idaho.

Customer concentration is singular. The Department of Agriculture Forest Service Fire and Aviation Management National Interagency Fire Center accounts for 12 of 14 awards (100% coverage by award count and combined potential value, $4.5 million). The remaining two awards come from USFS Regions 1 and 6 ($28 thousand and $249 thousand respectively). All awards across the portfolio are priced under federal wildfire and forest management programs using NAICS 541510 (Support Activities for Forestry) and PSC Natural Resources/Conservation—Forest-Range Fire Suppression/Presuppression designations.

Skyler Hurd Logging holds ten VIPR I-BPA indefinite delivery vehicles with the National Interagency Fire Center, all awarded February 2026 or later, with ceilings ranging from $250,000 to $750,000 and performance periods extending through 2028 or 2030. These include contracts covering Heavy Equipment Task Force resources for USFS Regions 1 and 4 ($500,000 ceiling through May 20, 2030); heavy equipment with water services for Regions 1, 2, 4, and 9 East Zone ($500,000 ceiling through May 21, 2030); heavy equipment for Region 6 Pacific Northwest ($500,000 ceiling through July 8, 2030); miscellaneous heavy equipment for Regions 1, 2, and 4 ($750,000 ceiling through April 15, 2030); and additional regional variants at $250,000 to $250,000 ceilings. Optional use of these I-BPAs is authorized for the Department of Interior, National Park Service, and Bureau of Indian Affairs. Activity accelerated in 2025 and 2026 — two awards in 2021, one in 2023, five in 2025, and six in 2026 — with combined potential value of $4.8 million but only $277 thousand obligated to date (6% utilization), indicating early-stage deployment against newer contract vehicles.
