Darren Holt

Darren Holt, operating as Digby's Fire Support, a Visalia, California-based sole proprietorship, provides clerical support, administrative services, and logistics coordination for wildland fire suppression and all-hazard emergency response operations to the Department of Agriculture Forest Service and the Bureau of Land Management as a prime contractor on total small business set-asides. Digby's Fire Support competes exclusively under set-aside designations, with all 33 awards in the prime portfolio carrying total small business set-aside restrictions.

Digby's Fire Support operates within a narrow, specialized market focused on federal fire management and emergency response. The vendor's service portfolio centers on clerical support units, administrative staffing, equipment provisioning, transportation, lodging, and certified personnel deployment to support wildland fire suppression, prescribed fire projects, and all-hazard incident response. Representative prime work includes a $366,473.15 firm fixed price delivery order from USDA Forest Service Region 5 Pacific Southwest Region awarded August 11, 2026, for administrative and clerical support with performance in Solvang, California (ultimate completion September 9, 2026); a $339,634.23 delivery order from the same region awarded August 27, 2025, with performance in Clovis, California; and a $750,000 indefinite delivery contract from the National Interagency Fire Center awarded February 6, 2026, with ultimate completion April 17, 2028, providing clerical support units for Region 13 nationwide operations under the Virtual Incident Procurement (VIPR) system.

Customer concentration is acute and bifurcated by administrative structure. Two customer organizations account for 97% of awards: the Department of Agriculture Forest Service Fire and Aviation Management National Interagency Fire Center (15 awards, $2.4 million combined potential value) and the Department of Agriculture Forest Service Region 5 Pacific Southwest Region (15 awards, $3.2 million combined potential value), with the Department of the Interior Bureau of Land Management California Region contributing two awards totaling $77 thousand. The vendor does not subcontract and operates only as a prime. Digby's Fire Support holds standing positions on four blanket purchase agreements and indefinite delivery contracts, with nine task orders flowing through Blanket Purchase Agreement AG024BB157007 (combined potential value $576 thousand) and seven through AG9J61B117362 (combined potential value $176 thousand), both administered through the VIPR system for interagency fire management mobilization.

Activity volume is sparse and episodic — one award each in 2021, 2022, and 2024; two in 2025; and two in 2026 — totaling 33 awards with combined potential value of $5.7 million and $2.5 million in obligated dollars (44% of ceiling). Work is performed nationwide across USDA Forest Service regions and BLM California Region operations, with primary operational footprint in California (Solvang, Clovis, and Visalia).
