J. Hayes Truck & Equipment Repair Inc.

J. Hayes Truck & Equipment Repair Inc., doing business as J Hayes Truck & Equipment Repair, is a for-profit automotive service company based in Santa Barbara, California, that provides vehicle repair, maintenance, and mechanic services with service trucks to the federal government as a prime contractor exclusively—100% of awards are priced and administered as prime deliveries under USDA Forest Service vehicle-maintenance indefinite-delivery contracts and blanket purchase agreements. The company competes under Total Small Business set-asides for its IDIQ vehicles and on full-and-open basis for individual delivery orders, with a $2.4 million combined potential value across forty prime awards since 2008.

The vendor's capability portfolio is narrowly focused on automotive support for wildland firefighting and land management. Recent representative work includes a $100,889 delivery order from the USDA Forest Service Pacific Southwest Region (Region 5) on August 12, 2026, for mechanic services with service trucks supporting Regions 5 and 6 operations, with ultimate completion by September 8, 2026; an $88,450 delivery order from Region 5 on August 3, 2025, for vehicle repair and maintenance in Solvang, California; and a $77,775 delivery order from Region 5 on July 6, 2024, for vehicle and equipment maintenance and automotive resource provision. All delivery orders are firm fixed-price with performance locations in California, including Santa Barbara, Solvang, Sonora, and Arcadia.

Customer concentration is absolute: the Department of Agriculture Forest Service accounts for 98% of awards across four sub-organizations, led by Region 5 (Pacific Southwest Region) at 21 awards and $1 million combined potential value. The Fire and Aviation Management National Interagency Fire Center manages five IDIQs valued at $1 million combined, and the Fire and Aviation Management Federal Fire and Aviation Management group administers nine awards worth $258 thousand. Vehicle-maintenance work is categorized under PSC code Natural Resources/Conservation—Forest-Range Fire Suppression/Presuppression (40 awards), with NAICS 811111 (General Automotive Repair) carrying 38 of the awards.

J. Hayes Truck & Equipment Repair holds positions on three active indefinite-delivery vehicles, all issued by the National Interagency Fire Center under Total Small Business set-asides: an August 7, 2026 IDIQ with a $250,000 ceiling extending through August 8, 2031 (supporting Regions 5 and 6), a February 6, 2026 IDIQ with a $250,000 ceiling running through June 5, 2028, and a June 5, 2023 IDIQ with a $250,000 ceiling also ending June 5, 2028. The vendor also operates under two active blanket purchase agreements. Task-order velocity under these vehicles is modest: fourteen task orders under BPA AG9J61B147054 ($253 thousand combined value), six under IDC AG9J61B177365 ($144 thousand), and four under IDC 129J6120T7196 ($115 thousand).

Recent activity has been flat to declining—three awards in 2026, two in 2025, one in 2024—with obligated dollars at $819 thousand (34% realization of combined potential value). The company carries SAM.gov registration since 2005 and has maintained a consistent track record with a single federal customer over eighteen years, with no subcontract footprint and no teaming relationships in the source data.
