Kenneth Drew

Kenneth Drew, doing business as Kenny Drew Konstruction, a self-certified small disadvantaged business sole proprietorship based in Penngrove, California, operates as a prime contractor providing heavy equipment and operator services for wildfire suppression, land management, and emergency incident response to the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service across the Pacific Southwest Region. All sixteen awards in the recent footprint are prime contracts (100% prime, zero subcontracts), with the vendor competing exclusively under total small business set-asides on its two core indefinite delivery contracts and predominantly full-and-open on delivery orders placed against those IDCs.

Kenneth Drew's customer base concentrates entirely within the Forest Service. The top three customer breakdowns account for 100% of awards: the Department of Agriculture Forest Service Fire and Aviation Management National Interagency Fire Center holds four awards valued at $1.5 million combined potential value; the Department of Agriculture Forest Service R5-Pacific Southwest Region carries eight awards totaling $437 thousand; and the Department of Agriculture Forest Service (broader entity) accounts for four awards at $214 thousand combined potential value. Work is performed in Regions 5 and 6, with specific operations concentrated in Northern California locations including Quincy, Oroville, San Bernardino, and Eureka.

Kenneth Drew holds two core indefinite delivery contracts, both awarded by the National Interagency Fire Center on February 6, 2026, each with a $500 thousand ceiling and extending through 2028–2029, set aside for total small business. A third IDC, valued at $250 thousand and awarded June 10, 2023, was previously in use and appears substantially exhausted based on delivery order activity. The two primary IDCs together support nine task orders valued at $485 thousand combined potential value (the highest-value vehicle), with the third IDC supporting three task orders at $166 thousand. Delivery orders drawn from these vehicles range from $7,604 to $158,631 and cover miscellaneous heavy equipment including dozers, excavators, feller bunchers, mulchers, masticators, road graders, and skidders, along with qualified operator services. Equipment positioning is prioritized based on dispatch-center proximity for rapid emergency response under the Virtual Incident Procurement (VIPR) system.

Activity shows volatility: five awards in 2023, seven in 2024, one in 2025, and three in 2026 year-to-date. Combined potential value across all sixteen awards is $2.2 million, with $651 thousand obligated (30% burn rate). The vendor competes on a firm fixed-price basis within a tight geographic and functional scope — all sixteen awards fall under the same NAICS code (Support Activities for Forestry) and PSC code (Natural Resources/Conservation—Forest-Range Fire Suppression/Presuppression). No federal grant or subcontracting presence is present in the source material.
