Cisco Bob JR

Cisco Bob JR, doing business as Cisco Bob JRS Excavation & Utilities, a Native American-owned sole proprietorship based in Mescalero, New Mexico, provides heavy equipment, water tank trucks, tree removal services, and personnel support for wildland firefighting and emergency response operations to federal land management agencies as a prime contractor exclusively under Total Small Business set-asides. The vendor operates entirely as a prime — eighteen total awards across four federal customer agencies, with combined potential value of $2.2 million and $146 thousand in obligated dollars representing 7% of that ceiling.

Cisco Bob JR's customer concentration is heavily weighted toward forest fire suppression and emergency incident response. The National Interagency Fire Center accounts for six awards with $1.3 million combined potential value, while the USDA Forest Service Region 3 (Southwestern Region) drives ten awards with $912 thousand combined potential value, together representing 100% of the vendor's federal footprint. Secondary work includes a tree removal purchase order from the Indian Health Service ($24,450) supporting the Mescalero agency and a minimal Bureau of Indian Affairs order ($4 thousand). Cisco Bob JR's capability portfolio, grounded in primary NAICS 541512 (Support Activities for Forestry), centers on water handling equipment provision, heavy equipment operation (dozers, excavators, tractor plows), tree removal, dozer line construction, and personnel support for wildland fire suppression and all-hazard incident response.

Cisco Bob JR holds five indefinite delivery contracts anchoring its federal position: three multiple-award Virtual Incident Procurement Incident Blanket Purchase Agreements (I-BPAs) issued by the National Interagency Fire Center and USDA Forest Service for water handling and heavy equipment services across Forest Service Regions 3 and 8, each capped at $250,000 with completion dates ranging from May 2025 through May 2030. Two of these IDCs expired or are expiring (May 2025, May 2028); three carry active status through 2030. Recent delivery orders include a $33,000 Total Small Business order from the Forest Service Region 3 for water tank trucks and dozer line construction (May 18, 2026) and a $24,450 Buy Indian set-aside purchase order from the Indian Health Service for tree removal at Mescalero (August 8, 2023). Activity shows episodic awards — two in 2021, one in 2022, two in 2023, none in 2024, one in 2025, and three year-to-date in 2026 — with no subcontractor footprint. The vendor's geographic positioning in southwestern New Mexico and small-business set-aside profile position it as a local emergency-response resource for regional fire and disaster operations.
