Red J Environmental Corporation

Red J Environmental Corporation, an SBA-certified HUBZone small business headquartered in Holbrook, Arizona, delivers environmental remediation, hazardous materials abatement, and facility maintenance services to federal land management agencies as a prime contractor operating predominantly under small-business set-asides. The company competes full-and-open on some contracts but the majority of its portfolio—particularly its largest awards and anchor relationships—rests on Total Small Business set-aside designations.

Red J's customer concentration is acute and geographically focused. The Department of Agriculture Forest Service Southwestern Region (Region 3) accounts for 128 of the company's 404 total awards and $64 million of its $145.9 million combined potential value—roughly 44% of all awards and 44% of all dollars. This dominance flows through a single $50 million single-award Blanket Purchase Agreement with the Forest Service running through December 2032, from which Red J has issued 132 task orders worth $17.4 million in combined potential value. The next four customer agencies by award count (Bureau of Land Management Arizona Region, Bureau of Indian Affairs Western Region, National Park Service Intermountain Region, and Bureau of Land Management New Mexico Region) together account for only 64 awards and less than $2 million combined potential value. GSA Federal Acquisition Service sits second in potential-value ranking at $57.2 million from a single award—a Multiple Award Schedule contract that anchors 129 task orders worth $15 million, but this concentration masks the underlying reality that Red J's operational footprint and revenue stability depend almost entirely on the Forest Service Southwestern Region relationship.

Red J's capability portfolio centers on asbestos and lead paint abatement, mold remediation, hazardous materials removal and disposal, site preparation and erosion control, facility demolition, and water-system maintenance and testing. Representative awards span a $199.9 million definitive contract with Forest Service for site maintenance and minor construction across Tonto and Prescott National Forests (soil decompaction, hydromulching, seeding, and road maintenance); a $243.7 million delivery order under the GSA Multiple Award Schedule for hazardous materials removal from Grand Canyon National Park; and a $148.8 million purchase order for repairs to a 48,000-gallon potable water storage tank at Lynx Lake Recreation Area. Smaller recurring work includes lead paint removal from federal housing units (awards of $21.7 thousand to $21.7 thousand), mold remediation at ranger stations (awards of $9.3 thousand to $15.9 thousand), and spill cleanup (awards of $5.0 thousand to $17 thousand). The company's NAICS footprint reflects this mix: Remediation Services (196 awards) and Environmental Consulting Services (136 awards) dominate, with smaller exposure to Hazardous Waste Treatment and Disposal, Site Preparation Contractors, and Support Activities for Forestry.

Activity has fluctuated modestly over the past five years—one award in 2022, six in 2023, twelve in 2024, five in 2025, and three through April 2026—suggesting either a slowdown in recent quarters or a lag in award posting rather than sustained growth. Combined obligated value is $37.7 million (26% of combined potential value), indicating that many awards remain active but not fully obligated. Red J operates entirely as a prime contractor; the source contains no subcontract work.

Red J's geographic footprint and set-aside posture lock it into federal land management agencies in the Southwest. Its HUBZone certification anchors eligibility on many awards, but the company's real competitive edge is its single-award BPA with the Forest Service—a relationship that accounts for nearly half of all awards and dollars. This relationship represents both a strategic asset and a recompete cliff; the BPA's December 2032 expiration is beyond the typical twenty-four-month recompete window, but task-order work flowing from it remains subject to annual or multi-year obligated periods that will require renewal and repricing. Competitors seeking to displace Red J would need either HUBZone status or small-business set-aside eligibility in the same geographic market, or would need to pursue the comparatively smaller open-competition opportunities Red J holds with BLM, NPS, and other Interior bureaus.
