Warren Kirk Partridge

Warren Kirk Partridge, doing business as Warren Partridge Contracting, is a small business sole proprietorship based in Bly, Oregon, that provides wildland fire suppression equipment and services to the USDA Forest Service and allied federal agencies as a prime contractor exclusively. The vendor operates entirely under Incident Blanket Purchase Agreements (I-BPAs) structured as Indefinite Delivery Contracts with total small business set-aside designations and competes predominantly across set-aside vehicles, though most individual task orders carry no set-aside notation.

Warren Partridge Contracting specializes in water handling equipment and heavy machinery rental with trained operators for wildland fire management and emergency response. The vendor's service portfolio includes water tenders (Types 1–3), potable and gray water trucks, excavators, dozers, cranes, and related support services including transportation, lodging, and logistics. A representative sample of recent work includes a $363,557.50 firm fixed-price delivery order from USDA Forest Service Region 6 (Pacific Northwest) issued July 24, 2024, a $273,083.44 order from Region 5 (Pacific Southwest) issued August 25, 2023, and a $77,137.50 purchase order from the Department of the Interior Bureau of Land Management's Idaho Region issued June 1, 2025—all for fire management equipment and personnel deployment. The vendor also holds multiple IDC seats with the National Interagency Fire Center, including four $500,000-ceiling contracts awarded February 6, 2026, for water handling and heavy equipment across Regions 5 and 6.

Customer concentration is acute and forest-service-centric. The USDA Forest Service Region 6 (Pacific Northwest Region) accounts for 175 awards (74% of the total portfolio) and $10.4 million in combined potential value. The Forest Service's Fire and Aviation Management National Interagency Fire Center places an additional 20 awards with a $4.3 million combined value. These two customer programs together represent 95% of awards and 99% of combined potential value. The Occupational Safety and Health Review Commission has issued 17 awards (minimal dollar value), and the Department of the Interior Bureau of Land Management accounts for 10 awards totaling $144 thousand. No subcontract work is present in the vendor's federal portfolio.

The vendor holds eight active Indefinite Delivery Contracts at the National Interagency Fire Center, all awarded in 2025 or 2026 with total small business set-aside designations and ceilings ranging from $250,000 to $500,000 per task order. The four largest parent vehicles by task-order count include Blanket Purchase Agreement AG04H1B167487 (56 task orders, $1.7 million), IDC 1202SB22T8032 (37 task orders, $2.1 million), IDC 1204H124T7316 (21 task orders, $2.4 million), and IDC 1202SB21T7880 (12 task orders, $1.3 million). These vehicles enable Forest Service regions to issue rapid-deployment orders—typically requiring delivery within two weeks—to support fire suppression, all-hazard incident response, and prescribed project work.

Activity has accelerated year over year: 12 awards in 2022, 21 in 2023, and 40 in 2024, declining to 9 in 2025 and 11 in 2026 (year-to-date through August). The combined portfolio spans 237 prime awards with a combined potential value of $15.4 million and $10.5 million in obligated dollars (68% realization). Work is performed across the western United States with primary operational concentration in the Pacific Northwest (Oregon, Washington) and secondary presence in California, Idaho, and other western states. The vendor's NAICS classification is predominantly Support Activities for Forestry (218 awards), with PSC coding centered on natural resources and conservation fire suppression and equipment rental.
