Kristina Derry

Kristina Derry, operating as Coho Forestry, is a woman-owned small business sole proprietorship based in La Grande, Oregon, that provides forestry and wildland fire management services to the federal government exclusively as a prime contractor. Coho Forestry competes under total small business set-asides on its four active Indefinite Delivery Contracts with the National Interagency Fire Center and the Forest Service, each valued at $250,000 to $500,000 and running through 2030; the balance of its delivery orders and purchase orders flow full-and-open, leveraging task orders against those IDCs and regional Forest Service multiple-award vehicles.

Coho Forestry's capability portfolio centers on water handling equipment and trained personnel for wildland fire suppression and all-hazard incident response, supplemented by vegetation assessments, reforestation planning, silviculture, equipment provisioning, transportation, and personnel support across western Forest Service regions. Representative work includes a $156,000 total-small-business delivery order from Forest Service Region 6 (Pacific Northwest) awarded September 1, 2026, for forestry support services; an $80,000 delivery order from Forest Service Region 4 (Intermountain) in August 2026 for vegetation management and equipment provisioning in Pendleton, Oregon; and multiple Type 3, 4, 5, and 6 engines and water-tender procurement orders from the Idaho Region in June 2025 totaling $399,000 combined value. The company holds active VIPR (Virtual Incident Procurement) Incident Blanket Purchase Agreements for water handling services across East Zone (Regions 1, 2, 4, 9), Pacific Northwest Region 6, Regions 3 and 8, and West Zone (Regions 3, 5, 6, 10), with optional use extended to the Department of the Interior and Bureau of Indian Affairs.

Customer concentration is heavily weighted to the Forest Service and National Interagency Fire Center across five named customer segments that account for 87% of awards. The National Interagency Fire Center anchors the largest dollar share at $3.2 million across 20 awards (primarily the four IDC vehicles); Forest Service Region 6 (Pacific Northwest) places the most orders by volume at 24 awards valued at $1.7 million combined; and Forest Service Region 4 (Intermountain) contributes 12 awards at $753 thousand. The Bureau of Land Management Idaho Region is the fourth customer at 12 awards, $582 thousand, predominantly engine and equipment purchase orders.

Five named parent IDCs structure Coho Forestry's work: contract 1202SB22T7725 (19 task orders, $924 thousand), 1204H119T7183 (19 task orders, $603 thousand), 1202SB22T7248 (8 task orders, $346 thousand), 1202SB25T7672 (8 task orders, $612 thousand), and 1204H125T7317 (8 task orders, $429 thousand). These vehicles consolidate work that historically ran across Forest Service regions and the National Interagency Fire Center's Virtual Incident Procurement system.

Activity has grown consistently from 11 awards in 2022 to 20 in both 2025 and 2026 year-to-date, with combined potential value across all 89 prime awards at $7.1 million and $4.1 million obligated (58% execution). Award magnitude typically ranges from $5,000 to $156,000 per delivery order or purchase order. All work is classified under NAICS 541711 (Support Activities for Forestry), with PSC coding split between Natural Resources/Conservation—Forest-Range Fire Suppression/Presuppression (77 awards) and Fire Fighting Equipment (12 awards). Coho Forestry does not subcontract; it operates as a sole proprietor delivering services directly and does not maintain identified teaming relationships or serve as a sub-recipient on grant programs.
