Eagle Ramos

Eagle Ramos Eagles Engines Division, doing business as Eagle's Engines, supplies specialized vehicles, fire engines, all-terrain vehicles, water handling equipment, and personnel support services for wildland firefighting and natural resource management to the U.S. Forest Service and the National Interagency Fire Center as a prime contractor exclusively, with all 77 recent awards concentrated in the Total Small Business set-aside category.

Eagle Ramos is a sole proprietorship based in Mescalero, New Mexico, operating as a minority-owned, woman-owned, small disadvantaged business with Native American and federally recognized Indian tribe ownership. The vendor competes entirely under set-asides, with 100% of recent prime awards carrying either Total Small Business or competitive 8(a) designations where applicable. The company's portfolio clusters tightly around NAICS 561730 (Support Activities for Forestry) and PSC code for natural resources and forest-range fire suppression, reflecting a singular focus on federal wildland fire suppression and emergency response logistics.

Customer concentration at Eagle Ramos is extreme and regionally segmented. The Department of Agriculture Forest Service accounts for 97% of recent awards and drives 98% of combined potential value across the portfolio, split among regional commands: Forest Service Region 3 (Southwestern Region) leads with 42 awards worth $1.6 million combined potential value, followed by the National Interagency Fire Center (11 awards, $961 thousand), Region 5 (Pacific Southwest, 13 awards, $453 thousand), unspecified Forest Service programs (6 awards, $229 thousand), and Region 8 (Southern, 3 awards, $81 thousand). The two customer rankings converge entirely — USDA Forest Service dominates both volume and dollars with no tension between them.

Eagle Ramos holds three active indefinite delivery contracts, all firm fixed-price, all set aside for small business. A $250,000 IDC with the National Interagency Fire Center for Regions 3 and 8 water handling services, awarded February 6, 2026, runs through May 6, 2030 and anchors the most recent activity. A $250,000 IDC with the National Interagency Fire Center for Regions 3 and 8 Virtual Incident Procurement (VIPR) Incident Blanket Purchase Agreement, awarded May 6, 2025, extends through May 6, 2030. A third $250,000 IDC with the National Interagency Fire Center for West Zone (Regions 3, 5, 6, and 10) water handling, awarded June 7, 2022, completes on May 7, 2025 and faces recompete. Against these vehicles, Eagle Ramos has placed 46 task orders (combined value $1.5 million). Additional task order work flows through two smaller blanket purchase agreements (Blanket Purchase Agreement AG8371B167033 with 10 task orders worth $212 thousand, and Blanket Purchase Agreement AG8371B107041 with 9 task orders worth $152 thousand), supporting the same regional fire suppression missions across Forest Service regions.

Activity contracted sharply from 18 awards in 2022 to 4 in 2026 (a one-month snapshot), signaling either portfolio consolidation, declining reorder frequency, or competition pressure. Combined potential value sits at $3.4 million across all 77 awards, with $2 million obligated (58% realization rate), indicating steady invoicing against modest contract ceilings. The June 7, 2025 ultimate completion date on the West Zone $250,000 IDC represents a near-term recompete exposure.

Eagle Ramos operates exclusively as a prime contractor; the source reports zero subcontract awards. Work is performed primarily in New Mexico (Mescalero, Alamogordo, Silver City, Albuquerque) and California (Grass Valley, Alturas, Susanville, Yreka), with secondary performance sites across Forest Service regions in Washington, Arizona, North Carolina, and Virginia. Representative prime delivery orders include a $75,000 firm fixed-price order from Forest Service Region 3 for water handling and transportation services (May 22, 2026), a $72,000 delivery order from the same region for specialized vehicles and equipment (May 17, 2026), a $155,000 delivery order from Forest Service Region 6 (Pacific Northwest) for Type 6 fire engines and all-terrain vehicles (July 25, 2024), and a $67,680 delivery order from Region 5 for water handling equipment and personnel support (August 19, 2023). Older awards from 2021–2022 included $24,000 and $17,251 delivery orders from the National Interagency Fire Center for Type 6 fire engines.

The vendor's footprint and competitive position are narrowly defined: Eagle Ramos is the go-to supplier for rapid-deployment water handling and fire suppression logistics to Forest Service regions in the western and southern United States, particularly Region 3. Recompete opportunity for competitors centers on the West Zone IDC completing May 7, 2025, and the two newer Regions 3 and 8 NIFC contracts running through 2030.
