Steven Wilson

Steven Wilson, doing business as S&L Services, operates as a sole proprietorship prime contractor providing Type 6 wildland firefighting engines, water handling equipment, and fire suppression personnel to the U.S. Forest Service and related federal agencies across western U.S. regions, competing full-and-open without set-aside designations on most awards but holding two Total Small Business multiple-award IDIQs with combined ceiling value of $500,000.

Steven Wilson is headquartered in Winthrop, Washington, and registered in SAM since 2004 as a small business sole proprietorship. The vendor operates exclusively as a prime contractor (100% of recent awards) with no subcontract footprint. Across 72 total federal awards spanning the past two decades, Steven Wilson has generated $2.9 million in combined potential value, with $1.9 million obligated (67% realization), and averages two to four awards annually in recent years. The vendor's capability portfolio centers on Type 6 engines (the primary wildland firefighting vehicle specification), water tenders, tactical water tenders, water handling materials, transportation, lodging, and incident response personnel to support Forest Service fire suppression, prescribed burn, and all-hazard emergency response operations.

Customer concentration is extreme. The Department of Agriculture Forest Service R6–Pacific Northwest Region (Oregon, Washington, and subordinate zones) accounts for 43 awards and $1.5 million, or 59% of combined potential value, while the Forest Service's Fire and Aviation Management program at the National Interagency Fire Center accounts for 11 awards and $1.1 million. The Department of the Interior Bureau of Land Management Idaho Region accounts for 3 awards and $177 thousand. Together, these three customer entities represent 92% of awards and 98% of combined potential value. Activity has remained flat to modest over the past five years (one to four awards annually), with no recompete cliff signaled in the near term.

Steven Wilson holds three named parent IDIQs: a Blanket Purchase Agreement (AG04H1B167345) with 20 task orders ($371 thousand), an Indefinite Delivery Contract (1204H119T7370) with 17 task orders ($502 thousand), and a second Indefinite Delivery Contract (1202SB22T8178) with 8 task orders ($430 thousand). Two newer Total Small Business multiple-award IDIQs were awarded in May 2025 and February 2026, each with a $250,000 ceiling through May 2030, for water handling services to Forest Service Region 6 and the West Zone (Regions 3, 5, 6, and 10). Work is performed on-site in Boise, Idaho; Vancouver, Washington; and Albuquerque, New Mexico, with ultimate completion dates typically within four to six months of award. Steven Wilson competes in full-and-open procurements on individual delivery orders and holds positions on Total Small Business set-aside multiple-award vehicles that generate task-order activity but do not require the vendor to hold a formal SBA certification beyond small business status.
