Tyler Krisman

Tyler Krisman, a sole-proprietor self-certified small disadvantaged business based in Wilton, California, provides heavy equipment for wildland fire suppression and all-hazard incident operations to the National Interagency Fire Center (NIFC), a civilian agency within the USDA Forest Service, exclusively as a prime contractor on total small business set-aside indefinite delivery contracts.

The vendor's federal footprint is narrow and concentrated. All four awards in the source data are with NIFC, representing $1 million in combined potential value across four indefinite delivery contracts awarded between June 2023 and February 2026. The work falls entirely within NAICS 238910 (Support Activities for Forestry) and PSC category for forest-range fire suppression and presuppression. Equipment procured under these contracts includes feller bunchers, mulchers, masticators, road graders, and dozers to support Region 5 (Pacific Southwest Region) and West Zone Regions 5 and 6 wildfire suppression and prescribed project work. Three of the four contracts carry $250,000 ceiling values each; the fourth also carries a $250,000 ceiling. Contract performance periods range from 2024 through 2029. All awards are structured as firm fixed price, multiple-award indefinite delivery vehicles under total small business set-asides, with contractors required to provide equipment and personnel available on a daily shift basis for up to 16 hours as needed annually. Vendors are dispatched through the Virtual Incident Procurement (VIPR) system, and awards emphasize geographic proximity to dispatch centers for timely emergency incident response.

The vendor operates exclusively as a prime contractor with no subcontract activity in the source data. Activity consists of one award in 2023, one in 2024, and two in early 2026, with no trajectory signal beyond the limited sample size. All four contract vehicles remain in performance through 2028 or 2029.
