Crosby JR Richard James

Crosby JR Richard James, a sole proprietorship based in Alturas, California, provides vehicle and driver services to the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service as a prime contractor (100% of recent awards), operating exclusively under small-business set-asides through the National Interagency Fire Center's vehicle-and-driver blanket purchase agreements. The company competes in the transit and ground passenger transportation sector (NAICS 488410, All Other Transit and Ground Passenger Transportation) and delivers pickup trucks, stake-side trucks, passenger vans, and sport utility vehicles with qualified drivers to support wildland fire management and incident response operations across Regions 5 and 6 in the western United States.

Customer concentration is absolute and narrow: all fourteen prime awards from the source stem from the Department of Agriculture Forest Service, split between the Pacific Southwest Region (Region 5) operations and the Fire and Aviation Management National Interagency Fire Center's blanket purchase agreement program. The Fire and Aviation Management office anchors the potential-value ranking at $1 million across five awards (two IDCs and three delivery orders), while Region 5-Pacific Southwest Region accounts for seven delivery orders valued at $192 thousand combined. Crosby JR Richard James holds three distinct IDC vehicles, all structured as multiple-award contracts with $250,000 ceilings each, running through June 2028 or August 2031. The two active IDCs (contract numbers 12569R23T7258 and 129J6120T7106) support six and three task orders respectively, totaling $169 thousand and $47 thousand in combined potential value. Individual delivery orders under these vehicles range from $5,435 to $90,760 in firm fixed-price task values.

Activity shows modest but consistent engagement: one award in 2022, three in 2023, one in 2024, three in 2025, and three in 2026 year-to-date. Combined potential value across all fourteen awards stands at $1.2 million, with $237 thousand obligated to date (19% realization). Most recent work includes a $21,034 Type 2 pickup truck with driver support delivery order issued September 5, 2026 by the National Interagency Fire Center under the VIPR I-BPA for Regions 5 and 6 West Zone, performing in Solvang, California through September 19, 2026, and a $16,634 delivery order from Region 5-Pacific Southwest Region awarded August 31, 2025. Crosby JR Richard James operates as a sole proprietor with no subcontractor footprint and no participation on government-wide vehicles beyond the three Forest Service small-business set-aside IDCs. The vendor's entire federal footprint centers on preseason incident-response transportation staffing for fire suppression and all-hazard incident support in California and adjacent western states.
