Bonnell Sand & Gravel, Inc.

Bonnell Sand & Gravel, Inc., a woman-owned small business based in Glencoe, New Mexico, operates as a prime contractor providing construction aggregates, heavy equipment rental, water handling services, and land management support to the Department of Agriculture Forest Service across the Southwest and Rocky Mountain regions. The company competes predominantly under total small business set-asides on Forest Service Vehicle Incident Procurement (VIPR) Incident Blanket Purchase Agreements and regional multiple-award contracts; Bonnell Sand & Gravel holds 100% of its federal footprint as prime awards with no subcontract activity in the source data.

Bonnell Sand & Gravel's customer concentration is extreme and regional. The Department of Agriculture Forest Service R3-Southwestern Region dominates its portfolio, accounting for 77 awards (73% of the 105 total) and $56.7 million of the $60.6 million in combined potential value across all awards. The National Interagency Fire Center, also within USDA, adds 15 awards valued at $3.4 million. Together, these two Forest Service entities account for 93% of award count and nearly 100% of dollars. Smaller Forest Service regions — Rocky Mountain (Region 2), Southern (Region 8), and unspecified regional offices — round out the remaining volume. This concentration reflects a geographic and operational focus: Bonnell Sand & Gravel's service territory spans New Mexico, Arizona, Colorado, and adjacent areas where the Forest Service maintains extensive infrastructure and fire suppression operations.

Representative prime delivery orders illustrate the portfolio: a $52,032.54 firm-fixed-price delivery order from Region 3 in August 2023 for construction materials and wildland fire equipment rental; a $33,228 delivery order in June 2024 for aggregates and road maintenance; and a $12,401.78 delivery order in July 2024 for construction materials supporting land management operations in Albuquerque. Bonnell Sand & Gravel also holds a $50 million single-award Blanket Purchase Agreement (AG8371B167007) with Forest Service Region 3, effective January 2023 through December 2032, for road maintenance, construction, and disaster recovery services statewide across New Mexico, with NAICS codes 237110 (road construction), 237990 (site preparation), and 561730 (disaster recovery); this BPA has generated 10 task orders valued at $155 thousand to date. On the fire suppression side, the company holds multiple small-business-set-aside VIPR Incident Blanket Purchase Agreements through the National Interagency Fire Center for water handling and heavy equipment (feller bunchers, mulcher/masticators, road graders, skidders) across Forest Service East Zone Regions 1, 2, 4, and 9 (ceilings $250,000 to $500,000 each), and for Regions 3 and 8 (similar ceilings). Award activity has declined from 9 awards in 2022 to 1 in 2025, with 4 awards in 2026; combined dollars obligated across the portfolio are $2.4 million against $60.6 million in potential value, indicating the IDIQ and BPA vehicles remain largely unexercised.

The portfolio skews heavily toward forestry support (62 awards, classified under NAICS 541730 Support Activities for Forestry) and forest-range fire suppression (62 awards under PSC Natural Resources/Conservation), with a secondary category of highway and road maintenance work (25 awards, NAICS 237110; 24 awards, PSC Maintenance of Highways). Bonnell Sand & Gravel competes exclusively on total small business set-asides; no full-and-open or competitive unrestricted awards appear in the recent footprint.
