Curtis Brown

Curtis Brown, a Sacramento-based service-disabled veteran-owned small business and minority-owned sole proprietorship, delivers manual fuel reduction, forest thinning, and land stewardship services to federal land-management agencies as a prime contractor on purchase orders and blanket purchase agreements, operating exclusively under total small business set-asides on project-specific work and without set-aside designation on a large standing vehicle.

Curtis Brown holds a single-award Blanket Purchase Agreement with the Department of Agriculture Forest Service Pacific Southwest Region (Region 5, California) awarded October 3, 2022, with a $50 million potential value and a ten-year term extending through October 2032. This BPA anchors the vendor's federal footprint and establishes Curtis Brown as the Forest Service's primary stewardship contractor for natural resource management, habitat restoration, fuels reduction, invasive species control, and reforestation across California National Forest System lands. The remaining prime work consists of five total small business set-aside purchase orders issued between July 2023 and September 2026 for specific fuel-reduction and land-management projects. Representative recent work includes a $234,098.88 order from the Bureau of Land Management Arizona Region (August 2024) for manual removal, cutting, stump treatment, and piling of salt cedar across 428 acres in the Gila River Hazardous Fuels Project; a $165,200 order from BLM's Redding Field Office in California (September 2026) for hand thinning, hand piling, and pile covering across 295 acres in the Swasey Recreation Area over a two-year performance window; and a $100,142 order from BLM's Albuquerque District Office (September 2026) for manual thinning and slash management across 322 acres at Datil Well in New Mexico.

Customer concentration is heavily weighted toward the Forest Service by dollars — the single PSW Stewardship BPA represents 99% of Curtis Brown's combined potential value ($50 million of $50.7 million) — while project awards spread volume across multiple BLM regions. The Bureau of Land Management Idaho Region has issued two small purchase orders totaling $179 thousand. Curtis Brown does not currently hold a position on any government-wide acquisition contract or multi-award vehicle; all work flows through direct agency purchase orders or the single Forest Service BPA. Only two awards (combined potential value $265 thousand) reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, creating minimal near-term recompete exposure. The vendor operates entirely as a prime contractor with no subcontract footprint in the source data. Work is concentrated in NAICS codes 115310 (Support Activities for Forestry) and 561730 (Landscaping Services), reflecting a capability portfolio anchored to manual forest management, hazardous fuels reduction, vegetation removal, and land stewardship operations on federal lands across the western United States.
