Frank Leyba is a minority-owned, self-certified small disadvantaged business and Hispanic American-owned sole proprietorship located in Mora, New Mexico. The company specializes in providing equipment, services, and support for wildland fire suppression, all-hazard incident response, and resource management projects for federal agencies, with a primary focus on the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Forest Service.

Through federal contract awards, Frank Leyba has consistently provided a range of products and services primarily to the USDA Forest Service's Region 3 (Southwestern Region) and Region 4 (Intermountain Region). The contract awards have been delivery orders and purchase orders with ceiling values ranging from $6,531.50 to $51,200, covering unspecified products and services supporting forest management activities. These contracts have not been set aside and have been awarded across various locations including Silver City, Santa Fe, and Durango, involving the provision of equipment like chippers and vehicles with drivers. The funding has exclusively come from the USDA Forest Service, with a focus on supporting wildland fire suppression, incident response, and resource management projects in the Southwestern United States.

Frank Leyba holds two significant Indefinite Delivery Vehicle (IDV) contracts with the National Interagency Fire Center through the Virtual Incident Procurement (VIPR) program. The first IDV, awarded in April 2024, is a $250,000 contract for providing chippers, while the second IDV, awarded in April 2023, is another $250,000 contract for vehicles with drivers, specifically for Region 3. Both IDV contracts are set aside for small businesses and have multiple-award designations with firm fixed-price structures. These contracts have ultimate completion dates of April 24, 2029, and April 27, 2028, respectively, enabling Frank Leyba to competitively provide essential equipment and support services on an as-needed basis for fire and incident response within Forest Service dispatch centers.
