Steven Wilson

Steven Wilson, a sole proprietorship based in Winthrop, Washington, provides wildland firefighting equipment, water handling apparatus, and fire suppression personnel to the U.S. Forest Service as a small business prime contractor, operating entirely under Total Small Business and non-set-aside delivery orders and blanket purchase agreements. Steven Wilson competes exclusively as a prime contractor (100% of recent awards) with no subcontract footprint, drawing exclusively from federal wildfire and emergency response programs within the Department of Agriculture and the Department of the Interior.

Customer concentration is extreme and concentrated in Forest Service Region 6 operations. The top two funding entities account for 92% of recent awards: the Department of Agriculture Forest Service Region 6–Pacific Northwest Region holds 47 awards valued at $1.7 million combined potential value, and the Department of Agriculture Forest Service Fire and Aviation Management National Interagency Fire Center holds 11 awards valued at $1.3 million combined potential value. The remaining customer base — the Department of Interior Bureau of Land Management Idaho Region, the Department of Interior Bureau of Land Management Oregon-Washington, and the Department of Agriculture Forest Service Washington Office — accounts for approximately $49 thousand across twelve awards. Both the award-count and potential-value rankings track the same customer concentration; Forest Service Region 6 dominates both volume and dollars.

Steven Wilson holds three primary IDIQ vehicles, all under Total Small Business set-aside: a $500,000 indefinite delivery contract awarded February 6, 2026, through the National Interagency Fire Center for water handling equipment and personnel across Region 6 with performance through May 30, 2030; a $250,000 indefinite delivery contract awarded May 30, 2025, for West Zone service (Regions 3, 5, 6, and 10); and a $250,000 indefinite delivery contract awarded June 7, 2022, also for West Zone coverage through June 6, 2025. Task orders under these vehicles comprise the bulk of recent work. Representative recent awards include a $68,123.73 Total Small Business delivery order from Forest Service Region 6 for Type 6 firefighting engines and suppression personnel (August 17, 2026), a $72,800 Total Small Business delivery order for wildland firefighting support in Pendleton, Oregon (July 11, 2026), and a $91,500 firm fixed-price delivery order for water handling equipment and personnel in Vancouver, Washington (August 28, 2023). Steven Wilson also holds smaller BPA and standalone purchase orders, including a $68,250 purchase order for a Type 6 engine from the Forest Service Idaho Region (June 1, 2025) and a $95,550 purchase order for a Type 6 engine from the same region (June 1, 2025).

Activity has remained flat to modestly growing — two awards in 2022, three in 2023, four in 2024, four in 2025, and five through August 2026 — with a combined potential value of $3.3 million across seventy-six total awards since 2003. Combined dollars obligated reached $2.1 million (63% of combined potential value). Steven Wilson's capability footprint is narrow and specialized: 75 of 76 awards fall under NAICS 541990 (Support Activities for Forestry), and 72 fall under PSC Natural Resources/Conservation–Forest-Range Fire Suppression/Presuppression. All work is performed in western U.S. locations, including Wenatchee and Vancouver, Washington; Pendleton and Baker City, Oregon; and Boise, Idaho. The vendor has been registered in SAM since 2004 and operates as a registered sole proprietorship with no disclosed corporate relationships or subcontractors across the award portfolio.
