About the company
Hector J Ruiz Torres, doing business as HJR Reefscaping, a minority-owned, Hispanic American-owned sole proprietorship based in Hormigueros, Puerto Rico, provides marine ecosystem research, fisheries monitoring, and scientific technical consulting services to federal agencies as a prime contractor (95% of recent awards). The company specializes in reef fish surveys, deepwater fishery stock assessments, and life history data collection in Puerto Rico waters, operating primarily under NAICS 541690 (Other Scientific and Technical Consulting Services) and PSC 7311N (Fisheries Resources Management).
HJR Reefscaping's customer base is almost entirely concentrated with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), which accounts for 17 of 22 total awards and $2.1 million in combined potential value — 100% coverage by potential value. Recent representative contracts include a $620 thousand firm fixed-price definitive contract awarded March 1, 2024, for the Spiny Lobster Management Project in Puerto Rico (completion February 28, 2029); a $149,900 purchase order issued October 1, 2026, for a Puerto Rico deepwater reef fish survey funding multiple commercial fishing vessels across 250 survey sites (completion December 31, 2027); and a $119,980 Total Small Business set-aside purchase order awarded September 25, 2026, for gathering life history information on reef fish species in cooperation with local fishing communities to enhance stock assessment for NOAA's Southeast Fisheries Science Center (completion December 31, 2029). The company also holds a $950 thousand Cooperative Agreement with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service under the Endangered Species Recovery Implementation program (CFDA 15.657), awarded October 1, 2024, to install at least 50 manatee waterway signs in Puerto Rico high-use areas (completion September 30, 2029). HJR Reefscaping acts as a sub-recipient on coral ecosystem restoration work under the Institute for Socio-Ecological Research, Inc., expanding coral nurseries in Guananica and La Parguera and establishing new nurseries at El Ron and El Negro to support endangered coral species outplanting.
Award activity has remained flat at two to three awards per year over the past five years, with three awards (combined potential value $300 thousand) reaching ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, presenting recompete exposure in that window. Most NOAA contracts carry no set-aside designation; however, recent Total Small Business set-aside work reflects emerging diversification within HJR Reefscaping's NOAA engagement. Combined obligated dollars ($4.4 million) exceed combined potential value ($2.1 million), indicating contract modifications and scope increases have driven invoiced revenue above ceiling values on prior periods.
