The Bureau of Land Management has awarded Nulato Hills Enterprises, LLC a $250,000 contract, ID 140L0226F0026, for severity work in southern Alaska. Issued Sept. 8, it runs through Oct. 3, about 25 days.

Severity funding pays for extra suppression capability when abnormal weather, drought or other conditions raise fire danger, the Forest Service says.

BLM's Alaska Fire Service awarded it under full and open competition, two offers, no set-aside.

It sits under a five-year hand crew contract BLM awarded the company on Feb. 24 after five offers, running to March 31, 2031. Two $495,000 crew assignments followed on Aug. 20 and Aug. 31, each carrying that 2031 end date.

The Nulato Tribal Council founded Nulato Hills Enterprises in 2014, saying it aimed to change the economic trajectory of one of Alaska's most remote Athabascan villages and counting more than 200 local jobs. It operates a Wildland Type 2 hand crew, firefighters working on foot with hand tools, for the Middle Yukon Region.
