Doris Molakides

Doris Molakides, operating as Sierra Queen Conservation, is a woman-owned small business based in Colfax, California, that provides wildland fire suppression and emergency response equipment and personnel services exclusively to federal agencies as a prime contractor under total small business set-asides. Sierra Queen Conservation holds SBA certifications for women-owned small business, minority-owned business, and self-certified small disadvantaged business status, and competes across all recent awards under set-aside vehicles rather than full-and-open procurements.

The vendor's customer base is heavily concentrated within the Department of Agriculture's Forest Service. The National Interagency Fire Center accounts for 16 awards worth $12.3 million in combined potential value, while the Forest Service's Pacific Southwest Region (Region 5) places 13 awards valued at $410 thousand combined. Together, these two Forest Service entities represent 97% of all awards in the source data. Smaller volumes flow to Region 4 (Intermountain), Region 6 (Pacific Northwest), and one order from the Department of the Interior's Bureau of Land Management Idaho Region. Sierra Queen Conservation's capability portfolio centers on specialized wildland fire suppression and emergency response logistics: weed washing units, heavy equipment (dozers, excavators, feller bunchers, road graders, mulchers), off-highway vehicles and vehicle-with-driver services, personnel services including fallers, and incident support equipment across western U.S. Forest Service regions. Representative recent work includes a $181,681 delivery order from USFS Region 5 on August 13, 2026, for equipment and personnel support under the National Interagency Fire Center's Virtual Incident Procurement (VIPR) program; a $40,900 Region 5 order on August 27, 2026, for a chipper; and a $24,480 Region 6 order on September 6, 2026, for equipment and personnel incident management support.

The vendor holds 16 multiple-award and single-award Indefinite Delivery Contracts through the National Interagency Fire Center's VIPR program, with individual ceilings ranging from $250,000 to $7.5 million and performance periods extending through 2029–2031. These IDCs cover vehicle-with-driver services, off-highway vehicles, weed washing units, heavy equipment, fallers, and water handling equipment, all designated total small business set-asides and all firm fixed-price. The single-award incident support multipurpose off-highway vehicles contract carries a $7.5 million ceiling and runs through December 31, 2026. The remaining contracts are multiple-award vehicles supporting rapid procurement across western regions. Task order activity flows primarily through six named IDCs, led by contract 1202RZ25T0134 with six task orders totaling $110 thousand. Award volume has grown sharply—two awards in 2024, fourteen in 2025, and eighteen through September 2026—with $516 thousand obligated to date representing only 4% of the $12.8 million combined potential value across all awards, reflecting the firm fixed-price delivery-order structure of fire suppression procurement. Sierra Queen Conservation operates exclusively as a prime contractor; the source contains no sub-award relationships.
