Manuel Huerta JR.

Manuel Huerta JR., doing business as Brothers Carpet Cleaning, is a service-disabled veteran-owned small business (SDVOSB) based in El Paso, Texas, that provides janitorial, carpet cleaning, spoils removal, and laundry services to federal facilities as a prime contractor exclusively — all seven recent awards carry SDVOSB set-asides. The sole proprietorship is also self-certified as a small disadvantaged business and minority-owned (Hispanic American) entity, competing entirely under set-aside vehicles rather than full-and-open procurements.

Brothers Carpet Cleaning's customer concentration is tightly clustered within the Department of Veterans Affairs. The four funding agencies in the source account for 100% of awards, with Veterans Integrated Service Network 17 (El Paso VA Healthcare Systems) leading in combined potential value at $493 thousand across two awards, followed by the National Cemetery Administration at $388 thousand across three awards. The Department of Agriculture Plains Area and Veterans Integrated Service Network 22 round out the active set with single small awards each. The awards span janitorial services (three awards), solid waste collection (two awards), carpet cleaning (one award), and laundry services (one award), with NAICS codes clustering around 561740 (Janitorial Services), 561730 (Landscaping/Spoils Removal), and carpet and upholstery cleaning.

Recent contract work includes a $319.2 thousand purchase order from VISN 17 for deep cleaning and janitorial coverage at the El Paso VA Healthcare Systems main facility and Fort Bliss buildings (September 2026 through September 2031, base plus four one-year options), a $174.2 thousand VISN 17 purchase order for EMS uniform and laundry services in El Paso (June 2025 through May 2030), a $36 thousand delivery order from the National Cemetery Administration for spoils removal at Fort Bliss National Cemetery (September 2026 through July 2027 base year), and an $18.4 thousand definitive contract from Veterans Integrated Service Network 22 for annual carpet cleaning at the New Mexico VA Healthcare System facility in Albuquerque (August 2026 through August 2031, base plus four option periods). Brothers Carpet Cleaning also holds a single-award $184.8 thousand indefinite-delivery contract from the National Cemetery Administration for monthly spoils removal services at Fort Bliss (September 2026 through July 2031, base plus four option years).

Award activity has grown modestly — one in 2024, two in 2025, and four in 2026 — with combined potential value of $949 thousand and only $36 thousand in combined potential value reaching ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, creating minimal near-term recompete exposure. The vendor has not subcontracted or sat on parent vehicles; all work flows directly from federal customer purchase orders, definitive contracts, and delivery orders against a single-award IDIQ.
