S5 Land Services, LLC

S5 Land Services, LLC, doing business as Shad Stufflebeam Cutting, is a self-certified small disadvantaged business based in Tiller, Oregon, that provides wildfire suppression equipment, land management services, heavy equipment operation, and emergency incident response capabilities to the Department of Agriculture Forest Service as a prime contractor on 234 federal awards spanning delivery orders, blanket purchase agreements, and indefinite-delivery contracts.

S5 Land Services operates exclusively as a prime contractor (100% of awards) with no subcontract footprint. The vendor specializes in concrete, equipment-intensive services: heavy equipment delivery including dozers, excavators, water tenders, log loaders, dump trucks, and chippers; trained faller crews and mechanics with service trucks; vehicle-with-driver support; and comprehensive land stewardship including vegetation management, hazardous fuels reduction, and emergency response logistics. The company's service portfolio is grounded in the Forest Service's Virtual Incident Procurement (VIPR) system framework—a network of pre-competed indefinite-delivery and blanket-purchase vehicles designed to enable rapid acquisition of wildfire suppression and land management resources on an as-needed basis.

Customer concentration is extreme and singular. The Department of Agriculture Forest Service Region 6 (Pacific Northwest Region) accounts for 182 of 234 awards and $57.5 million of the $65.4 million combined potential value (88% of dollars). The National Interagency Fire Center accounts for 45 awards and $7.7 million. The vendor has also received five awards from the Forest Service centrally and two from Region 5 (Pacific Southwest), totaling $219 thousand. This concentration reflects S5 Land Services' operational footprint: the company is built on a regional supply-contract model anchored to Oregon and Washington wildfire response infrastructure.

The vendor's parent-vehicle position is dense and specialized. S5 Land Services holds positions on 15 named VIPR indefinite-delivery contracts and blanket purchase agreements under the National Interagency Fire Center and Forest Service Region 6. The five top vehicles by task-order volume and value include a $945 thousand blanket purchase agreement (30 task orders), a $1.1 million indefinite-delivery contract for heavy equipment (27 task orders), a $538 thousand indefinite-delivery contract (22 task orders), an $845 thousand indefinite-delivery contract (21 task orders), and a $600 thousand blanket purchase agreement (20 task orders). The largest single vehicle is the Pacific Northwest Stewardship BPA (AG04H1B177175), a $50 million single-award blanket purchase agreement running through October 2032 to provide comprehensive land management, forestry, vegetation management, and emergency response services across Oregon and Washington. Multiple VIPR contracts carry $250 thousand to $750 thousand ceilings and cover specialized service categories: miscellaneous heavy equipment (Region 6 only and multi-region), vehicle with driver (West Zone Regions 5 and 6), faller services, mechanic with service truck, chipper services, and water handling—each set aside for total small business with firm-fixed-price terms and ultimate completion dates between 2028 and 2031.

Activity has been concentrated and recent. S5 Land Services received 31 awards in 2022, 30 in 2023, and 46 in 2024, then dropped to 2 awards in 2025 and 16 through August 2026. The shift reflects the compressed award cycle of delivery orders against pre-competed VIPR vehicles: the vendor holds multiple vehicle positions established in 2023 and 2024 that now feed continuous task orders. Of the 234 awards, 229 fall under the Natural Resources/Conservation—Forest-Range Fire Suppression/Presuppression PSC code, with 221 awards classified under Support Activities for Forestry (NAICS 115310). Only $8 million of the $65.4 million combined potential value has been obligated to date (12%), indicating the portfolio remains heavily front-loaded with ceiling values and unexercised delivery authority across the VIPR vehicle ecosystem.

The vendor competes entirely set-aside: nearly all VIPR vehicle positions are designated Total Small Business set-aside. Recent August 2026 delivery orders on the Pacific Northwest Stewardship BPA show mixed set-aside posture (some using Total Small Business, others carrying no set-aside designation on individual task orders), but the underlying vehicles are small-business reserved. S5 Land Services' capacity is regional and equipment-centric, making it a specialized player in the wildfire-response supply chain rather than a broad federal services competitor.
