Kirkland, Kerry D

Kirkland, Kerry D Kirkland Contracting, a sole proprietorship based in Glendale, Oregon, provides vehicles, equipment, and trained drivers for wildland fire suppression and emergency response operations to the U.S. Forest Service as a small business prime contractor, competing exclusively under total small business set-asides across its indefinite delivery contracts and task orders.

Kirkland Contracting is a small business sole proprietorship structured as a for-profit organization with no minority, veteran, or disadvantaged-business certifications in the source record. The vendor specializes in providing water tenders, pickup trucks, vans, and transportation logistics with professional drivers to support federal emergency response and wildland fire suppression missions. Recent representative delivery orders include a $2,250 order from the Forest Service Region 6 Pacific Northwest Region on August 16, 2026, for fire suppression vehicle support in Lakeview, Oregon; a $6,750 order issued August 8, 2026, for emergency response vehicle services in Bend, Oregon; and a $49,500 order dated August 19, 2024, for transportation and vehicle support across Forest Service operations in the Pacific Northwest region.

Customer concentration is entirely within the U.S. Department of Agriculture and its Forest Service components, accounting for 100% of awards across three distinct USDA entities. The National Interagency Fire Center dominates by potential value, with eight awards carrying $1.6 million in combined potential value, while the Forest Service Region 6 Pacific Northwest Region places the highest volume by count at ten awards, $416 thousand combined potential value. A single additional Forest Service award carries $25 thousand potential value.

Kirkland Contracting holds four indefinite delivery contracts, all firm fixed-price and total small business set-asides, issued through the Virtual Incident Procurement (VIPR) system with ceilings of $250,000 each. The vendor places task orders under IDC 12569R23T7336 (4 task orders, $69 thousand combined potential value), IDC 1202SB22T7948 (3 task orders, $88 thousand combined potential value), IDC 1204H119T7249 (3 task orders, $91 thousand combined potential value), and IDC 1204H126T7969 (2 task orders, $9 thousand combined potential value). Two IDVs awarded in 2026 extend through 2030 and 2031, while earlier awards mature in 2025 and 2028, signaling rolling recompete exposure across the VIPR small business set-aside vehicle.

Award activity spiked in 2023 with five awards and remains active in 2026 with five awards to date, though volume in 2024 declined to three awards. Combined potential value across the nineteen-award portfolio totals $2 million, with only $257 thousand obligated to date, reflecting the call-order nature of indefinite delivery contracts for emergency response surge capacity. The vendor operates exclusively as a prime contractor with no subcontract work in the source record.
