R. Brown Construction Company, Inc.

R. Brown Construction Company, Inc., a self-certified small disadvantaged business based in Willow Creek, California, operates as a prime contractor (100% of recent awards) providing road maintenance, hazardous fuels reduction, emergency repair services, heavy equipment rental, and fire suppression support to the Department of Agriculture Forest Service and related federal land management agencies. The company competes predominantly under total small business set-asides across its federal footprint.

R. Brown's customer concentration is extreme and geographically focused. The Department of Agriculture Forest Service Region 5–Pacific Southwest Region accounts for 50 awards and $104.1 million of the combined potential value (88% of award count, 94% of dollars), anchored by two large blanket purchase agreements: a $50 million California Forest Engineering and Road Maintenance BPA running through March 2033, and a $50 million Pacific Southwest Stewardship BPA running through October 2032. The National Interagency Fire Center represents the second-tier customer with 12 awards and $3.8 million, followed by the Department of the Interior Fish and Wildlife Service Region 1 and the Occupational Safety and Health Review Commission. The disparity between the top two ranking signals that R. Brown's federal revenue is almost entirely Forest Service Region 5–driven; small awards outside that channel are noise.

R. Brown's portfolio sits on multiple indefinite delivery contracts and blanket purchase agreements that tile together to serve the Forest Service's wildland fire, equipment, and road infrastructure mission. Active IDVs include five total small business set-aside multiple-award IDCs awarded by the National Interagency Fire Center in February and June 2026 for water handling equipment, mechanic services with support trucks, and heavy equipment (feller bunchers, mulchers, masticators, road graders, skidders) across Regions 5 and 6, each with ceilings ranging from $250 thousand to $500 thousand through 2028–2030. Representative recent delivery orders include a $301 thousand total small business set-aside for Dillon Fire BAER and suppression road repair at Six Rivers National Forest (award September 1, 2026, completion December 31, 2026), a $1.018 million BPA call for Trinity Stewardship hazardous fuels reduction work (award June 30, 2023, completion October 31, 2025), and a $95 thousand total small business set-aside for East Fork Campground emergency road reconstruction (award September 24, 2024, completion July 31, 2025).

Activity has been episodic: three awards in 2022, five in 2023, four in 2024, one in 2025, and six in 2026. Only two awards (combined potential value $330 thousand) reach ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months, suggesting minimal recompete exposure in the near term but significant concentration risk given the vendor's single-customer dependency. The top parent vehicles are five blanket purchase agreements, with 12 task orders totaling $674 thousand against BPA AG9J61B147392 representing the most active. R. Brown's capability portfolio is operationally concentrated: 54 awards fall under NAICS 561730 (Support Activities for Forestry), and 56 awards carry PSC Z2BT (Natural Resources/Conservation–Forest-Range Fire Suppression/Presuppression), reflecting a specialized regional play in California national forest emergency response and infrastructure support rather than a diversified construction services platform.
