Roen Paul

Roen Paul, an SBA-certified HUBZone sole proprietorship based in Grass Valley, California, operates as a prime contractor delivering land management, heavy equipment deployment, and emergency response services exclusively to the Department of Agriculture Forest Service and National Interagency Fire Center across western federal lands. The vendor competes predominantly without set-asides on full-and-open delivery orders, though its HUBZone certification qualifies it for set-aside consideration on some task orders; two recent June 2026 delivery orders carry explicit Total Small Business set-asides.

Roen Paul's capability portfolio centers on vegetation and fuels management, habitat restoration, trail maintenance, road construction and repair, and wildland fire suppression support. The vendor deploys specialized heavy equipment—feller bunchers, mulchers, masticators, road graders, excavators, and dozers—alongside labor and emergency response operations across California and intermountain western regions. Representative work includes a $692,150 full-and-open delivery order from the Forest Service Pacific Southwest Region (May 2025) for land management services at Grass Valley, California; a $282,087.50 non-set-aside order for emergency response and land stewardship (July 2025); and a $50 million single-award Blanket Purchase Agreement for road maintenance and construction services across California's 19 national forests through March 2033 (awarded April 2023).

Customer concentration is extreme. The Department of Agriculture Forest Service Pacific Southwest Region (Region 5) anchors the portfolio at 54 awards worth $108 million in combined potential value—67% of all awards and 67% of total potential value. The broader USDA Forest Service ecosystem, including the National Interagency Fire Center, Rocky Mountain Research Station, and Fire and Aviation Management branches, accounts for 77 of 83 total awards (93%) and $161.4 million in combined potential value. Roen Paul has worked with no other federal agencies across its entire award history in the source data.

The vendor holds two $50 million single-award Blanket Purchase Agreements—one for stewardship services across the intermountain region (Idaho, Nevada, Utah, Wyoming) through the Rocky Mountain Research Station (awarded May 2023) and one for road maintenance and construction across California through the Pacific Southwest Region (awarded April 2023). It also operates under four multiple-award Indefinite Delivery Contracts for miscellaneous heavy equipment support set aside for total small business, issued by the National Interagency Fire Center with ceilings of $250,000 each and completion dates ranging from June 2028 to June 2029. The top IDC by task-order volume (Contract 12569R23T7855) carries 20 delivery orders worth $3.9 million combined potential value.

Activity trajectory shows a spike in 2023 (18 awards) followed by sharp contraction through 2026: five awards in 2022, six in 2024, four in 2025, and four in 2026 year-to-date. Of the 83 total awards, only the two $50 million BPAs and a handful of indefinite delivery vehicles provide multi-year revenue stability; the remainder are short-duration delivery orders (median completion within 60–90 days of award). The vendor faces significant recompete exposure: the $50 million California Forest Engineering and Road Maintenance BPA completes March 31, 2033, and the $50 million Intermountain Stewardship BPA completes October 3, 2032, but smaller IDCs expire as early as June 2028. The source data does not specify which awards are approaching completion in the next 24 months; however, the heavy concentration of short-term delivery orders issued prior to 2024 suggests substantial recompete work across the Pacific Southwest Region's primary contract vehicles.

SCI-reported federal service-contract invoicing captures only $597 thousand in FY2024 across 2.4 FTEs, a narrow slice of Roen Paul's total federal revenue and likely an artifact of SCI's $150,000 reporting threshold and exclusion of equipment-dominated contracts. Government-paid hourly rates on SCI-reportable contracts ran at $121.16 per hour across both records. Roen Paul operates as a 100% prime contractor with zero subcontract engagement; it builds and deploys its own labor and equipment teams rather than leveraging subcontractors.

The vendor's $161.4 million combined potential value across 83 awards masks highly constrained cash flow. Only $8.3 million (5% of potential value) has been obligated across all awards, and the portfolio's short-term delivery-order structure means seasonal revenue concentration around summer and fall fire seasons. As a sole proprietorship with HUBZone positioning in a rural California location, Roen Paul operates as a responsive local contractor for USDA Forest Service land stewardship and emergency response—not as a diversified federal contractor pursuing technology, IT, or defense work.
