Robin Winston

Robin Winston, doing business as C & R Reforestation, a small business sole proprietorship based in Aurora, Oregon, delivers reforestation, tree planting, and wildland fire response services to the federal government exclusively as a prime contractor under total small business set-asides and full-and-open delivery orders. The vendor has received 118 federal awards over the past two decades, with combined potential value of $7.9 million and $5 million in obligations across the Department of Agriculture Forest Service and the Department of the Interior.

C & R Reforestation competes entirely under small business set-asides on indefinite delivery contracts and blanket purchase agreements issued by the National Interagency Fire Center and Forest Service regional offices. The vendor holds five active IDIQ vehicles worth $1.5 million in aggregate ceiling, all designated total small business set-asides and running through 2028 to 2031. These vehicles support water handling equipment and vehicle-with-driver services for wildfire suppression and forest management across Forest Service Regions 5 and 6. Concrete recent work includes a $179,947 delivery order from Forest Service Region 6 for tree planting and reforestation in Roseburg, Oregon (August 2026), a $106,110 delivery order for reforestation in Wenatchee, Washington (August 2026), and a $268,407 delivery order for tree planting in Roseburg, Oregon (September 2024). The vendor also holds a $250,000 total small business water-handling IDIQ awarded by the National Interagency Fire Center in May 2025, supporting equipment provision and personnel deployment for fire suppression across the Pacific Northwest.

Customer concentration is extreme and stable. The Department of Agriculture Forest Service Region 6 (Pacific Northwest Region) dominates both volume and dollars, accounting for 84 awards and $5 million in combined potential value—roughly 63% of all obligations and 71% of prime potential value. The National Interagency Fire Center contributes 15 awards for $2.1 million, with the balance split among Forest Service Region 5 (Pacific Southwest), the Bureau of Land Management Idaho Region, and the Army Corps of Engineers Portland District. Across these relationships, 90% of recent awards concentrate in the top five agencies.

Activity has grown unevenly. The vendor received 10 awards in 2022, declined to 7 in 2023, rebounded to 15 in 2024, dropped to 4 in 2025, and returned to 11 in 2026. Over the past five years, the vendor has shipped 47 delivery orders against its standing IDIQ vehicles, with individual task-order values ranging from $3,675 to $268,407 and firm fixed-price delivery structures. Eleven awards across the top parent vehicles are reaching completion in the next twenty-four months, creating recompete exposure for approximately $750,000 in potential value. The vendor has no subcontract footprint and no partnerships with other prime contractors; all awards flow directly to C & R Reforestation as sole proprietor. Since registering in SAM.gov in 2002, the vendor has maintained continuous small business status and holds no enterprise-level vehicles, GWACs, or agency-wide IDIQs outside the Forest Service and National Interagency Fire Center ecosystem. The vendor's capability portfolio remains tightly scoped to reforestation labor, tree planting, forest regeneration, wildland fire response support, and water-handling and vehicle logistics for incident management in the western United States.
