Ronald D Hicks

Ronald D Hicks, a small business sole proprietorship based in Naples, Texas, delivers natural resource management and land stewardship services to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers as a prime contractor exclusively under Total Small Business set-asides, with no subcontractor footprint and no sub-award activity. The vendor competes entirely within small business set-aside vehicles and holds three active indefinite delivery contracts with the Corps totaling $6.4 million in combined ceiling value across timber marking, forest inventory, and boundary line maintenance work at Corps-managed water resource projects in Oklahoma and Texas.

The vendor's entire customer base consists of the Department of the Army Corps of Engineers and its regional districts. All fifteen awards in the recent footprint flow to Corps customers, with $6.8 million of the $6.9 million combined potential value concentrated in the parent Corps agency; the remaining awards distribute across the Engineering District Tulsa ($12 thousand), Engineering District Fort Worth ($7 thousand), and Civil Works operations ($61 thousand). The vendor operates under three primary indefinite delivery contracts: a $4.8 million single-award IDC for selective timber marking services awarded in June 2025 and running through June 2030; the W912BV22D0025 contract for timber marking and cruising across Red River area lakes, valued at $1.08 million and running through September 2027; and the W9126G21D0023 contract for boundary line maintenance in the Piney Woods region of northeast Texas and southeast Oklahoma, valued at $548 thousand and running through September 2026. Task orders under these vehicles have generated approximately $343 thousand in combined potential value across twelve deliveries since September 2021.

Representative work includes a $63.8 thousand full-and-open delivery order from the Corps in February 2025 for boundary line maintenance at Lake O' the Pines and Wright Patman Lake (191-day performance period February through November 2025); a $52.5 thousand Total Small Business delivery order in June 2025 for selective timber marking in Jefferson, Texas, due for completion by September 2025; a $60.8 thousand Total Small Business purchase order from Civil Works in June 2024 for fence and hoist replacement at Wister Lake, Oklahoma; and a $59.1 thousand full-and-open delivery order in January 2024 for boundary maintenance services. Hicks performs all work directly without identified major subcontractors and maintains operational locations in Jefferson, Texas and Valliant, Oklahoma to support field work across the region. Activity shows modest volume — three awards in 2022 and 2023, two in 2024, four in 2025, and one in 2026 — with only one award (the $7 thousand Fort Worth delivery order) reaching ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, indicating limited near-term recompete exposure. The vendor's NAICS concentration sits with Support Activities for Forestry (eight awards) and Geophysical Surveying and Mapping Services (five awards), reflecting the boundary marking and timber inventory specialization.
