Picolet Paul

Picolet Paul, doing business as P.a.p. Timber Management, a sole proprietorship based in Twisp, Washington, delivers wildland firefighting, faller staffing, and forestry services to the U.S. Forest Service as a prime contractor under total small business set-asides, operating exclusively across two Forest Service IDCs and their derivative task orders with no subcontract footprint.

P.a.p. Timber Management is a for-profit sole proprietorship competing entirely under total small business set-aside designations. The vendor holds two Forest Service Indefinite Delivery Contracts for fallers in West Zone Regions 5 and 6: a $250,000 VIPR I-BPA (Virtual Incident Procurement) contract awarded June 5, 2023, and a $750,000 multiple-award IDC awarded February 6, 2026, both running through June 5, 2028. Work encompasses faller modules, fireline construction, incident response support, and personnel staffing for wildland fire suppression and all-hazard response across national forests and grasslands in Washington, Oregon, and New Mexico. Representative delivery orders include a $39,776 order issued August 12, 2026, for wildland firefighting and land management at Wenatchee, Washington; a $29,832 order issued July 24, 2026, at Pendleton, Oregon; and a $24,860 order issued July 27, 2024, at Ellensburg, Washington.

Customer concentration is singular. The Department of Agriculture Forest Service accounts for 100% of awards across three operational units: the Forest Service Fire and Aviation Management National Interagency Fire Center (5 awards, $1.3 million combined potential value), the Regional office R6—Pacific Northwest Region (18 awards, $710 thousand combined potential value), and Forest Service at large (3 awards, $83 thousand combined potential value). The National Interagency Fire Center anchors the dollar volume through the two IDCs; the Pacific Northwest Regional office drives task-order volume and velocity. All work falls under NAICS 115310 (Support Activities for Forestry) and PSC Natural Resources/Conservation—Forest-Range Fire Suppression/Presuppression.

Activity has been episodic. The vendor received two awards in both 2022 and 2023, four in 2024, two in 2025, and four in 2026 year-to-date, for a combined potential value of $2.1 million across twenty-six delivery orders and IDC positions. Combined dollars obligated total $530 thousand (25% of potential value), reflecting the firm fixed-price nature and rapid completion cycles typical of incident response work — most delivery orders complete within weeks. No recompete cliff is material; the two IDC ceilings run through June 5, 2028, with task-order obligations replenishing on an as-needed basis tied to fire-suppression demand and incident severity across the western zone.
