Dennis Fiore

Dennis Fiore serves as a Cooperative Fire Specialist and Fire Prevention Coordinator for the U.S. Forest Service’s Region 3 Southwestern Regional Office, where he plays a pivotal role in advancing wildfire resilience and public land safety through strategic procurement of educational and operational support services. His responsibilities include coordinating fire prevention initiatives, managing community outreach programs, and facilitating the acquisition of training resources and technical assistance critical to firefighter preparedness and public education. Fiore’s procurement activities are centered on enabling workforce development and public safety infrastructure, aligning closely with the agency’s mission to sustainably manage forest resources and protect communities from wildfire threats. His primary contractor relationship is with GERMRIP LLC, a vendor consistently engaged to deliver fire education curricula, prevention training modules, and community engagement tools. Fiore’s working relationships reflect a preference for specialized service providers with demonstrated expertise in wildfire science communication, adult learning methodologies, and emergency response education. These partnerships are typically structured as task orders under existing government-wide acquisition contracts, ensuring rapid deployment of mission-critical resources. Fiore’s procurement portfolio reflects a 100% non-set-aside approach, with no formal preference for 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs. His contracting strategy prioritizes technical capability and programmatic alignment over socioeconomic classifications, focusing instead on vendor proficiency in fire science education and public safety outreach. His acquisitions are exclusively classified under NAICS 611710 (Educational Support Services), indicating a deep specialization in procurement of fire prevention training materials, instructor-led workshops, digital learning platforms, and public awareness campaigns. Fiore’s domain expertise lies in translating complex wildland fire behavior data into accessible educational content for diverse audiences, making him a key conduit between technical forestry operations and community-level fire safety initiatives.
