Partridge Warren

Partridge Warren, doing business as Warren Partridge Contracting, is a self-certified small disadvantaged business located in Palo Cedro, California, specializing in providing water handling equipment and related services to federal agencies. Registered in SAM.gov since 2006, the company is structured as a sole proprietorship and has established itself as a key supplier for wildland fire suppression and emergency response equipment. The company primarily serves the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Forest Service, focusing on delivering critical water tenders, heavy equipment, and support services for firefighting and emergency management operations.

The company has received multiple federal contract awards totaling over $1 million from 2020-2023, predominantly from the Forest Service's Fire and Aviation Management program and the National Interagency Fire Center. These contracts have consistently involved the provision of Type 2 water tenders, water handling equipment, and related services through firm fixed-price delivery orders. Most of these contract awards have been issued by the Forest Service's Pacific Southwest Region (Region 5) and do not utilize specific set-aside designations. The contract values have ranged from approximately $37,000 to $101,000, with work focused on supporting wildland fire suppression efforts across various California locations, including Eureka, Yreka, and other regional sites.

Partridge Warren holds four Indefinite Delivery Contracts (IDCs) through the Virtual Incident Procurement (VIPR) system, each valued up to $250,000 and set aside for small businesses. These IDCs cover various equipment categories, including water handling equipment (Type 1, 2, and 3 water tenders), Type 3 and 6 Engines, miscellaneous heavy equipment like feller bunchers, mulchers, road graders, skidders, dozers, and excavators. The contracts are multi-award vehicles designed to provide the Forest Service flexibility in rapidly procuring critical equipment and personnel for emergency incidents, prescribed project work, and all-hazard incident support across the Pacific Southwest regions. The IDCs have performance periods extending through 2025-2030, allowing the Forest Service to issue task orders as needed for wildland fire response and management.
