Skyler Hurd Logging LLC

Skyler Hurd Logging LLC is a for-profit limited liability company registered in Lewiston, Idaho, that specializes in providing heavy equipment and personnel for wildland fire suppression and incident response operations. Registered in SAM.gov since March 19, 2021, with registration valid until March 27, 2026, the company has established itself as a small business contractor primarily serving federal agencies, particularly the U.S. Forest Service (USFS). While specific background details about the company's founding or leadership are not provided, its focus appears to be on supporting emergency response and land management activities through specialized heavy equipment and trained personnel.

The company has been awarded multiple prime federal contracts that demonstrate its capability to provide comprehensive heavy equipment and support services for fire suppression and incident response. These contracts, predominantly with the U.S. Forest Service, are designated as total small business set-asides, indicating the company's eligibility and competitiveness within the small business category. The contracts specifically involve providing various types of heavy machinery such as bulldozers, excavators, feller bunchers, skidders, graders, and masticators, along with trained personnel, transportation, and lodging. The federal contract awards cover multiple USFS regions, including Regions 1, 2, 4, 6, and 9, with contract values typically ranging up to $250,000 and performance periods extending several years. These contracts enable rapid sourcing of specialized wildfire assets and can be leveraged by other federal agencies through interagency acquisition processes.

Skyler Hurd Logging LLC holds multiple Indefinite Delivery Contracts (IDVs), specifically Vendor Managed Inventory Blanket Purchase Agreements (VIPR I-BPAs) with the National Interagency Fire Center. These IDVs, awarded between 2021 and 2025, have consistent characteristics: firm fixed-price, total small business set-aside, and multiple award designations. The IDVs cover various geographical zones and specific equipment categories, enabling the company to provide heavy equipment task force (HETF) resources for fire suppression, all-hazard incidents, and prescribed project work. The contract periods typically span 3-5 years, with maximum ceiling values of $250,000, and allow for task order issuance by the U.S. Forest Service and potentially other federal agencies like the Department of the Interior. The IDVs demonstrate the company's specialized capability to rapidly deploy heavy equipment and trained personnel across different regions for emergency and land management operations.
