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 under total small business set-asides and full-and-open procurements. The vendor operates exclusively as a prime, with no subcontract footprint across 27 federal awards since 2005.

Jimmy Robins' customer base is narrowly concentrated with a single agency. The Department of Agriculture Forest Service R8-Southern Region accounts for 24 awards (93% of the prime portfolio) and $8.3 million combined potential value; a single award from the Forest Service Research Service Southern Research Station represents the remaining $22 thousand. Both rankings track identically — the Southern Region dominates both volume and dollar value — indicating customer concentration without tension between order frequency and contract size.

The vendor's service portfolio centers on wildlife habitat restoration and maintenance across national forests and ranger districts in the Carolinas. Representative work includes a $24,890 total-small-business-set-aside BPA call awarded August 1, 2026 by the Southern Region for 2026 lime application and seed fertilizer services at Mountain Rest, with completion by September 30, 2026; a $22,791 no-set-aside BPA call from September 2023 for treating 41 acres of wildlife openings and linear strips with lime and fertilizer on the Andrew Pickens Ranger District; and a $24,940 total-small-business definitive contract from July 2023 for wildlife lime, fertilizer, and seed. The vendor holds two Forest Service single-award BPAs with potential ceilings of $950 thousand and $7 million running through August 2028, under which task orders cover invasive plant treatment, mowing, disking, clearing, planting, gate installation, and equipment rental across Francis Marion and Sumter National Forests and the Savannah River Site.

Activity has been sporadic — one award in 2019, two in each of 2020 and 2021, four in 2023, and one in 2026 — with only $402 thousand obligated against $8.4 million in combined potential value across the entire portfolio (5% utilization rate). The vendor operates under top NAICS 541900 (Support Activities for Forestry) and primarily competes under full-and-open and total-small-business set-aside designations, with no demonstrated exposure to 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, or women-owned set-asides.
