Darrell Robinson

Darrell Robinson is a woman-owned small business sole proprietorship based in Bend, Oregon, that provides road maintenance and infrastructure services to the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service as a prime contractor under total small business set-asides. Robinson operates exclusively as a prime (100% of recent awards) and competes predominantly under small-business set-aside vehicles, with task orders issued across the Forest Service's Southern Region (Region 8) and Eastern Region (Region 9) for road blading, gravel hauling, aggregate placement, culvert replacement, and ditch rehabilitation on national forests in Arkansas and Missouri.

Robinson's customer concentration is narrow and heavily tilted toward the Forest Service. The top four funding agencies account for 96% of all awards, with the Department of Agriculture Forest Service Region 8 (Southern Region) dominating both volume and dollars at 81 awards worth $49.1 million in combined potential value, followed by Region 9 (Eastern Region) with 30 awards valued at $3.3 million. The Occupational Safety and Health Review Commission accounts for 18 awards with no dollar value reported. This concentration reflects Robinson's operational footprint: work is performed across the Ouachita, Ozark-St. Francis, and Mark Twain National Forests in Arkansas and Missouri, with administrative oversight and performance at multiple ranger districts including Ava, Cassville, Willow Springs, Magazine, and Hector.

Robinson's primary parent vehicles are indefinite delivery contracts held with Region 8 and Region 9. The largest is an IDIQ contract (12445122D0012) for road maintenance services on the Ouachita and Ozark-St. Francis National Forests with a $2 million ceiling awarded April 8, 2022, through March 31, 2025. Robinson also holds a $499,999.98 Region 9 IDIQ contract (12444521D0004) for road blading, mowing, and limbing services across Eastern Region national forests. Most recently, on May 1, 2026, Robinson was awarded the MTNF ROAD BLADING IDIQ 2026-2031, a total small business set-aside multiple-award contract with a $1.67 million ceiling and a five-year performance period through April 30, 2031, covering eight ranger districts within the Ava District on the Mark Twain National Forest. Across these IDIQs, Robinson places task orders for discrete work. Representative delivery orders include a $286,097 firm fixed-price order (September 2024) for road maintenance across the Ouachita and Ozark-St. Francis Forests under Region 8; a $68,359 order (August 2025) for roadway blading across three Mark Twain districts under Region 9; and a $61,563 order (May 2026) for road blading at Cassville, Missouri, also under Region 9.

Robinson's award activity has been volatile. The vendor received 11 awards in 2022, declined to 7 in 2023 and 8 in 2024, then dropped sharply to 1 award in 2025 and 2 awards in the first half of 2026. The recompete cliff is minimal: only 1 award with a combined potential value of $62 thousand reaches ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months. However, the structural shift in contract vehicles matters operationally—Robinson transitioned from task orders under legacy region-specific IDIQs toward the newly awarded MTNF ROAD BLADING IDIQ in 2026, signaling a potential consolidation or shift in Forest Service procurement strategy that may reshape Robinson's activity profile going forward. Robinson's work is classified primarily under NAICS 238910 (Highway, Street, and Bridge Construction) and 113110 (Support Activities for Forestry), with PSC coding concentrated on road and highway maintenance work.
