Kristina Derry

Kristina Derry operates Coho Forestry, a woman-owned small business registered in La Grande, Oregon, specializing in comprehensive forestry services for federal agencies, particularly the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service. Registered in SAM.gov since April 1, 2019, with registration valid through February 25, 2026, the business is structured as a sole proprietorship and classified as both a woman-owned business and a woman-owned small business. Coho Forestry provides a diverse range of critical services including vegetation assessments, reforestation planning, silviculture, water handling, equipment provisioning, transportation, and personnel support for wildland fire management across multiple western United States regions.

The company has an extensive track record of federal contract awards, primarily focused on delivering forestry and fire management services through delivery order contracts. These contracts, ranging from $6,000 to $130,000, have been awarded across multiple Forest Service regions including the Pacific Northwest (Region 6), Intermountain (Region 4), and Southwestern (Region 3) regions. While most delivery orders are not set aside, Coho Forestry leverages its woman-owned small business status to compete effectively. The contracts typically involve providing specialized services such as comprehensive forestry support, wildland fire management, vegetation assessment, and natural resource support. The funding consistently comes from various Forest Service regional offices and the National Interagency Fire Center, demonstrating the company's specialized capabilities in land stewardship and fire response support.

Kristina Derry holds four key Indefinite Delivery Contracts (IDVs), each valued at $250,000, specifically for water handling services across different Forest Service regions. These multiple-award, small business set-aside contracts cover the East Zone (Regions 1, 2, 4, 8, and 9), West Zone (Regions 3, 5, 6, and 10), Pacific Northwest Region (Regions 3, 5, 6, and 10), and Regions 3 and 8. The IDVs, awarded through the Virtual Incident Procurement (VIPR) system, enable the Forest Service to rapidly acquire specialized water handling equipment, materials, transportation, lodging, and trained personnel for wildland fire suppression and all-hazard incident response. These contracts run through 2030 and allow optional use by other federal agencies like the Department of the Interior and Bureau of Indian Affairs, positioning Coho Forestry as a critical resource for emergency response and forestry management across the western United States.
