Aikens James F

Aikens James F, a sole proprietorship based in Terrebonne, Oregon, provides vehicles with drivers and stakeside wildland fire suppression and all-hazard incident response support to the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service as a prime contractor under total small business set-asides, operating exclusively without subcontractors across a portfolio entirely focused on emergency response and natural resource management operations in the Pacific Northwest and California regions.

The vendor's entire federal footprint derives from a single customer: the Department of Agriculture Forest Service, which accounts for 100% of all 22 awards and the combined $1.6 million in potential value. Within USDA Forest Service, work splits between the Pacific Northwest Region (Region 6) with 15 awards totaling $577 thousand in potential value, and the Fire and Aviation Management National Interagency Fire Center with 5 awards totaling $1 million in potential value. The remaining two awards, worth $24 thousand combined, are unaffiliated with specific regional offices. This extreme concentration reflects a specialized capability footprint: all 22 awards fall under NAICS 484999 (All Other Transit and Ground Passenger Transportation) and PSC code F509 (Natural Resources/Conservation—Forest-Range Fire Suppression/Presuppression).

Aikens James F holds three active indefinite delivery contracts with the National Interagency Fire Center, each carrying a $250 thousand ceiling and set aside for total small business. The first, awarded June 6, 2023, and the second, awarded February 6, 2026 (both designated VIPR I-BPA Vehicle with Driver Regions 5 & 6 West Zone), extend through June 6, 2028. A third, awarded August 17, 2026, carries the same designation and ceiling but runs through August 17, 2031. These three IDICs collectively anchor the vendor's task-order pipeline; the largest vehicle, Indefinite Delivery Contract 12569R23T7209, generated four task orders worth $64 thousand combined. Representative delivery orders include a July 28, 2026 small business set-aside order from Forest Service Region 6 for $21,261.25 (completion August 31, 2026), an August 23, 2024 no-set-aside order of $19,177.25 (completion September 23, 2024), and an August 5, 2024 order of $12,856.50 (completion August 14, 2024). Vehicle types provided include pickups, stakesides, passenger vans, and SUVs deployed across Regions 5 and 6, covering California, Oregon, Washington, and Nevada, with work performed primarily in Roseburg and Vancouver, Oregon.

Activity has been episodic: three awards in 2020, one in 2022, two in 2023, two in 2024, and three in 2026. Combined dollars obligated stand at $164 thousand against $1.6 million in combined potential value—a 10% obligation rate—reflecting the delivery-order structure of the underlying IDICs. Aikens James F has been registered in SAM.gov since May 8, 2009, and operates as a registered small business throughout its federal profile.
