Gould, Raymond

Gould, Raymond, doing business as C Ray's Trucking, is a small disadvantaged business sole proprietorship registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) since November 8, 2013, located in Atascadero, California. The company specializes in providing transportation and trucking services primarily to federal agencies, with a specific focus on supporting wildland fire management and all-hazard incident response operations. While no additional background information is available beyond the federal award history, the company has established itself as a reliable provider of vehicle and driver services to multiple federal agencies.

C Ray's Trucking has consistently provided transportation services to the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Forest Service, specifically supporting fire suppression and incident response efforts. The company's federal contract awards have included pickup, transportation, and delivery services involving various vehicle types such as pickup trucks, stake side trucks, passenger vans, and sport utility vehicles. These contracts have been issued as firm fixed price delivery orders, primarily serving Forest Service Regions 5 and 6 in the western United States, with work locations including California and New Mexico. The contract awards, ranging from approximately $2,000 to $39,761, have been non-competitively issued and do not have specific set-aside designations, though the company is a self-certified small disadvantaged business.

Gould, Raymond holds two key Indefinite Delivery Contracts (IDVs) with the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Forest Service, each with a potential ceiling value of $250,000. These contracts were awarded through the Virtual Incident Procurement (VIPR) program and are designed to provide vehicle with driver services for wildland fire suppression and all-hazard incident response. The first IDV, awarded on June 7, 2023, covers Forest Service Regions 5 and 6 in the western United States and extends through June 2028. The second IDV, awarded on July 23, 2020, is specifically focused on Region 5 (Pacific Southwest Region) and was set to expire on June 12, 2023. Both contracts are multiple award vehicles with total small business set-asides, allowing for non-competitive task order issuance and providing flexibility in supporting emergency response and fire management operations.
