Dennis Kirby

Dennis Kirby Trucking, a veteran-owned sole proprietorship based in Redding, California, provides heavy equipment and transportation services to the U.S. Forest Service as a prime contractor under a total small business set-aside vehicle, with all ten recent prime awards designated for federal fire suppression and emergency response operations. The company operates exclusively as a prime (100% of recent awards) and competes under the total small business set-aside category on its parent Indefinite Delivery Contract.

The company's capability footprint is narrowly focused on wildfire support infrastructure. Dennis Kirby Trucking supplies trucks, dozers, and excavators for fire suppression repairs and all-hazard incident response across U.S. Forest Service Regions 5 and 6 in the Pacific Southwest and West Zones. Representative work includes a $194 thousand firm fixed-price purchase order awarded March 10, 2026 by Forest Service Region 5 for approximately 3,710 cubic yards of weed-free base rock aggregate and haul-to-stockpile delivery in support of fire suppression repairs at Shasta-Trinity National Forest; a $53.7 thousand delivery order for heavy equipment services awarded July 7, 2025; and a $49 thousand delivery order for transportation and heavy equipment support awarded October 13, 2024.

Customer concentration is entirely within the Department of Agriculture. The National Interagency Fire Center accounts for two awards worth $500 thousand combined potential value (the two parent IDCs), and Forest Service Region 5 accounts for six awards worth $383 thousand. The category concentration reflects this single-mission footprint: nine of ten awards fall under NAICS 541712 (Support Activities for Forestry) and carry the PSC code for forest-range fire suppression and presuppression work.

Dennis Kirby Trucking holds position on two Vehicle Interagency Procurement (VIPR) I-BPA Indefinite Delivery Contracts, both structured as total small business set-asides with $250 thousand ceilings and performance periods through June 9, 2028. The parent vehicle designated IDC 12569R23T7574 carries seven task orders worth $217 thousand in combined potential value. Under these parent agreements, the company has received multiple delivery orders for equipment deployment, with individual order values ranging from $7.2 thousand to $53.7 thousand. The IDCs enable rapid equipment provisioning during fire seasons and emergency incidents across the specified western regions and allow for potential on-ramping of additional contractors during annual review periods.

Activity has grown from one award in 2023 (the initial IDC award on June 9, 2023) to four awards in 2025, with two awards in 2026 year to date. Combined potential value across all awards totals $911 thousand, with $411 thousand obligated (45% of potential value). The company has no subcontract footprint and operates solely in the prime role serving a single federal customer through set-aside delivery-order vehicles.
