Tongass Roads Maintenance 2015-2018

The Department of Agriculture Forest Service Region 10 (Alaska Region) established this Master IDIQ for Tongass National Forest roads maintenance on January 12, 2015, with ordering authority closing February 1, 2018—this vehicle is no longer active for new orders. All 44 task orders awarded under the vehicle have been fully obligated against the combined potential value of $2.6 million, with the ordering period now closed for more than eight years.

The work spans routine and recurring road maintenance, emergency storm and washout repairs, culvert cleaning and replacement, road blading and grading, and surface resurfacing across Alaska's Tongass National Forest. Task orders cover geographically dispersed locations including Prince of Wales Island, Wrangell, Sitka, Ketchikan, Petersburg, Yakutat, Hoonah, and Tenakee Springs, with durations typically four to twelve months and individual ceiling values ranging from roughly $3,400 to $204,585.

Eighty-six percent of the 44 task orders carried total small-business set-asides, with the remainder awarded without set-aside restrictions. Nearly all orders funded Forest Service Region 10 priorities; one order funded a broader Department of Agriculture requirement. Task orders employed firm fixed pricing throughout.

Five primes dominated the vehicle by order count and combined potential value. Ketchikan Ready-Mix & Quarry, Inc. and Venita M Coutlee each held seven orders ($565 thousand and $420 thousand combined potential value respectively); Island Enterprises Inc., BW Enterprises, LLC, and smaller competitors followed. This concentration of five primes covers roughly 70 percent of the vehicle's combined potential value. The remaining seven awarded contractors held a long tail of smaller orders.

Ordering activity peaked in 2017 with 17 awards, following 12 orders in 2015 and 14 in 2016. Only one order was placed in 2018 before the February ordering deadline. All performance was completed by late 2018, and the vehicle has been dormant since the ordering window closed.
