Trumen Bob

Trumen Bob, doing business as Trumen Contracting, a Native American-owned, HUBZone-certified sole proprietorship, provides wildland fire suppression equipment, operational services, and personnel to the U.S. Forest Service as a prime contractor exclusively under total small business set-asides and full-and-open deliveries. The vendor operates from Mescalero, New Mexico, and holds SBA certifications as a minority-owned, self-certified small disadvantaged business, and federally recognized Indian tribe member.

Trumen Contracting's capability footprint is narrowly specialized: water handling services, firefighting equipment (fire engines, water tenders), emergency response personnel, and logistical support for wildland fire suppression and all-hazard incident response. Recent representative work includes a $62,900 delivery order from the Forest Service Region 3 Southwestern Region for wildland fire suppression support (August 2026), a $99,377.63 delivery order from Region 5 Pacific Southwest Region for specialized equipment and operational services for fire suppression (September 2024), and a $56,136 delivery order from Region 2 Rocky Mountain Region for firefighting equipment and personnel (July 2026). Nearly all work is firm fixed-price delivery order activity issued against indefinite delivery vehicles controlled by the National Interagency Fire Center or regional Forest Service offices.

Customer concentration is extreme and singular. The Department of Agriculture Forest Service R3 Southwestern Region accounts for 53 awards and $2 million of combined potential value (approximately 39% of the total portfolio). The Fire and Aviation Management National Interagency Fire Center accounts for 21 awards and $1.6 million combined potential value. Together, these two customer entities represent 82% of awards and 82% of combined potential value; all remaining work flows through Regions 2 and 5 of the Forest Service. Over the past five years (2022–2026), activity has been volatile: eleven awards in 2022, declining to seven in both 2023 and 2024, then dropping sharply to two in 2025 before recovering to six in 2026. The source does not identify a recompete cliff in the forward twelve to twenty-four months.

Trumen Contracting holds positions on three primary IDIQ and Blanket Purchase Agreement vehicles: an Indefinite Delivery Contract (Vehicle 12837119T7068) with 25 task orders and $735 thousand combined potential value; an IDC (Vehicle 1202SB22T8146) with 18 task orders and $554 thousand combined potential value; and a BPA (AG8371B167041) with 17 task orders and $524 thousand combined potential value. All three vehicles are Forest Service fire suppression platforms. The vendor was recently awarded a new five-year IDIQ by the National Interagency Fire Center on February 6, 2026, with a $500,000 ceiling for water handling services in Regions 3 and 8 under total small business set-aside, running through May 6, 2030.

The portfolio spans 108 total awards (100% prime, 0% sub) with $5.1 million combined potential value and $2.6 million obligated. Award concentration by NAICS is extreme: 105 of 108 awards fall under Support Activities for Forestry (NAICS 561730); PSC coding shows 96 awards under Natural Resources/Conservation—Forest-Range Fire Suppression/Presuppression. The vendor operates exclusively in set-aside and full-and-open delivery-order workflows; no parent GWACs, agency-wide IDIQs, or GSA vehicles appear in the footprint. All performance occurs across Forest Service regions spanning New Mexico, Colorado, California, and subordinate incident locations nationwide, with administrative oversight at Mescalero, New Mexico.
