Johnson, Robert

Johnson, Robert, doing business as Bob Johnson Construction, is a HUBZone-certified sole proprietorship based in Yreka, California, that supplies heavy equipment, vehicles, and transportation services to the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service for wildland fire suppression, forestry management, and emergency response operations as a prime contractor (100% of awards). The vendor is a self-certified small disadvantaged business competing predominantly under total small business set-asides and non-set-aside delivery orders on regional Forest Service IDIQs and blanket purchase agreements.

The vendor's customer concentration is extreme and regional. The Department of Agriculture Forest Service Region 5 (Pacific Southwest Region) accounts for 92 awards and $104.5 million of the combined potential value (94% of the portfolio), with the remaining funding split among the National Interagency Fire Center, OSHA Review Commission, and smaller Forest Service administrative offices. Awards fall into two patterns: recurring small delivery orders ($6,100 to $544,284) against multiple IDCs for miscellaneous heavy equipment and water handling, and disaster-supplemental or definitive contracts for road repair and fire recovery work (Antelope Fire Road Reconditioning, $465,260 awarded June 2026; McCloud Flat Road Maintenance, $97,812 awarded May 2026; lava road repair, $885,657 awarded June 2026).

The vehicle footprint reflects the vendor's tight integration with the Forest Service's Virtual Incident Procurement system. Bob Johnson Construction holds seven active IDCs with National Interagency Fire Center and Forest Service ceilings of $250,000 each for water handling, heavy equipment, and miscellaneous equipment in Regions 5 and 6, awarded or reawarded in February and June 2026; a single-award $50 million blanket purchase agreement for California Forest Engineering and Road Maintenance extending through March 2033 (awarded April 2023); and legacy IDCs expiring through June 2025. The top-five parent vehicles by award count carry modest order volume ($572,000 to $904,000 in combined value across 6 to 12 delivery orders each), indicating the vendor manages a wide distribution of small task orders across multiple standing vehicles.

Activity has been steady year over year, averaging 10–14 awards annually from 2022 through 2025, with five awards recorded in 2026 year-to-date (likely a partial-year snapshot as of July 15, 2026). Only two awards face completion inside the next twenty-four months (combined potential value $983,000), reflecting the large $50 million BPA and the newer IDC awards with multi-year ceilings that do not encounter recompete pressure in the near term. The vendor's capability portfolio centers on equipment rental and operator services: log loaders, log processors, dump trucks, dozers, excavators, graders, water tenders, and pickup trucks, supplied with trained and certified personnel for wildfire incident response and road construction and maintenance work across California and Pacific Northwest national forests. Representative work includes delivery orders under the miscellaneous heavy equipment IDC ($229,394 for heavy equipment services, $104,650 for equipment rental, both August 2024); purchase orders for individual pieces of equipment such as log processors ($544,284, September 2024) and dump trucks ($146,064, October 2024); and disaster-supplemental definitive contracts for asphalt road repair, vegetation removal, and drainage system restoration on forest roads damaged by wildfire (Antelope Fire, $465,260, June 2025).
