Denis Patrick

Denis Patrick, a California-based sole proprietorship, provides wildland fire suppression and all-hazard incident response support to the U.S. Forest Service as a prime contractor under total small business set-asides, supplying water handling equipment, heavy machinery rentals with certified operators, fire engines and water tenders, and incident response personnel and logistics support.

Denis Patrick operates exclusively as a prime contractor (100% of awards) with no documented subcontractors across a $8.5 million combined potential-value portfolio of 69 awards spanning 2022 to August 2026. The vendor holds seven indefinite delivery contracts under the Virtual Incident Procurement (VIPR) system, each valued at $250,000 to $750,000 and designated as total small business set-asides, awarded by the National Interagency Fire Center or the U.S. Forest Service. Recent representative work includes a $131,000 firm fixed-price delivery order from the Forest Service Pacific Southwest Region (August 26, 2026) for water handling and heavy equipment support in Solvang, California; a $249,090 delivery order (August 29, 2025) for heavy equipment rental and personnel support in Clovis, California; and a $172,956 delivery order (September 17, 2025) also in Clovis for incident response equipment and logistics. All work draws from Department of Agriculture Forest Service appropriations.

Customer concentration is monolithic: the Department of Agriculture Forest Service accounts for 99% of awards and 100% of combined potential value, split across three naming structures. The National Interagency Fire Center holds 12 awards valued at $3.8 million combined potential, the Pacific Southwest Region (Region 5) holds 28 awards valued at $2.4 million, and the Federal Fire and Aviation Management office holds 22 awards valued at $2 million. Work is performed across Forest Service Regions 3, 5, 6, and 10 in the western United States, with primary performance locations in Coarsegold, Clovis, and Solvang, California.

Denis Patrick's five top parent vehicles are VIPR Incident Blanket Purchase Agreements and Indefinite Delivery Contracts, with the largest carrying 15 task orders ($1.1 million combined potential) and the second-largest 11 task orders ($857 thousand combined potential). Activity trajectory is volatile but low-volume: five awards in 2022, one in 2023, three in 2024, five in 2025, and four in 2026 year-to-date. Award velocity has not exceeded six awards in a single year. The vendor's service scope is tightly bounded to NAICS 541712 (Support Activities for Forestry) and PSC Natural Resources/Conservation—Forest-Range Fire Suppression/Presuppression, reflecting a specialized, regional emergency-response posture with no diversification into other federal customer agencies, contract vehicles, or service lines.
