Deroulhac, David C

Deroulhac, David C, doing business as Roan & Associates, is a small business sole proprietorship based in Victor, Montana, that provides specialized forestry services to the U.S. Forest Service as a prime contractor, operating exclusively under small-business set-asides and full-and-open competitions without federal sub-award relationships.

Roan & Associates' capability portfolio centers on vegetation management and tree seed collection for national forest reforestation and wildfire prevention. The vendor specializes in cone collection (whitebark pine, Ponderosa pine, Engelmann spruce), tree topping, sanitation work, and vegetative materials harvesting across the northern and intermountain regions of the National Forest System. Representative named work includes a $35,000 Total Small Business delivery order awarded September 14, 2026, for larch and pine tree topping and sanitation at Plains, Montana; a $45,094 Total Small Business delivery order awarded August 11, 2025, for cone collection at Big Fork, Flathead National Forest; and a $52,000 Total Small Business purchase order awarded August 29, 2023, for Ponderosa pine cone collection in the Black Hills National Forest. Work is performed across Montana, Wyoming, and South Dakota, predominantly in Forest Service Regions 1 (Northern), 2 (Rocky Mountain), and 4 (Intermountain).

Customer concentration is extreme: Forest Service Region 1 accounts for 85 awards ($7.8 million combined potential value), Region 2 for 15 awards ($2.1 million), and Region 4 for 8 awards ($141 thousand). Two non-regional Forest Service components anchor most dollar value — the Washington Office Acquisitions division awarded a $50 million single-award Blanket Purchase Agreement for Land Management Integrated Resources services effective through March 2033, and the Rocky Mountain Research Station awarded a $5 million Indefinite Delivery Contract. Across all 111 awards, the Forest Service represents 100% of customer base by count and 99.9% by potential value.

Roan & Associates holds two significant parent vehicles under Forest Service prime awards. The first is a $4.5 million Indefinite Delivery Contract for vegetative materials collection under the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act Replant Act, effective through January 2029, with 19 task orders to date. The second is the $50 million single-award Blanket Purchase Agreement for integrated land management resources extending through March 2033. Additional active IDIQs for specialized cone collection and vegetation services across Regions 1, 2, and 4 carry smaller ceilings but generate regular task order flow.

Activity has contracted after earlier growth — six awards in 2022, nine in 2023, three in 2024, three in 2025, and two in 2026 — with only one award ($35 thousand) reaching ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months. The combined potential value across all 111 awards is $65.1 million, but only $1.4 million (2% of potential value) has been obligated, indicating the vendor operates primarily from ceiling values on IDVs and BPAs rather than invoiced revenue. Primary NAICS classification is Forest Nurseries and Gathering of Forest Products (95 awards), with 16 awards in Support Activities for Forestry. PSC coding emphasizes Natural Resources/Conservation seed collection (74 awards) and other forest/range improvements (24 awards).
