Robins James R

Robins James R, doing business as Jimmy Robins, is a sole proprietorship based in Mountain Rest, South Carolina, that provides wildlife habitat maintenance and land management services to the U.S. Forest Service as a prime contractor operating under small-business set-asides and full-and-open competition. The vendor's work centers on forest management support activities — lime and fertilizer application, invasive plant treatment, mowing, disking, wildlife opening maintenance, equipment rental, and related conservation work across national forests and ranger districts in the Carolinas.

Jimmy Robins operates almost exclusively under Forest Service Southern Region (R8) contracts and BPA calls, accounting for 93% of recent awards by count and 98% of combined potential value. The vendor holds a single-award Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA 12467019A0007) with a ceiling of $7 million running through August 2028, against which the Forest Service has issued four task orders worth $47 thousand combined. Recent representative work includes a $24,890 total-small-business BPA call awarded August 1, 2026, for 2026 lime application and seed fertilizer services at Mountain Rest with completion by September 30, 2026; a $22,791 BPA call from September 2023 for lime and fertilizer treatment of 41 acres of wildlife openings on the Andrew Pickens Ranger District, completed October 8, 2024; and a $24,940 total-small-business definitive contract from July 2023 for wildlife lime, fertilizer, and seed services completed September 15, 2023. The vendor's category footprint is concentrated in Support Activities for Forestry (NAICS) and Natural Resources/Conservation activities (PSC 91), with 27 awards across the past two decades spanning timber management, wildlife habitat work, and forestry research support.

Activity has been episodic — one award in 2019, two in 2020, two in 2021, four in 2023, and one in 2026 — with combined potential value of $8.4 million and only $402 thousand obligated to date (5% of ceiling). One award with $25 thousand combined potential value reaches ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months. The vendor has no subcontract presence and no exposure to other federal agencies or contract vehicles beyond the Forest Service.
