Andy Michalek Logging Inc., doing business as Michalek Excavating, is a small business located in Blackduck, Minnesota, that specializes in road maintenance, construction, and related services primarily for the U.S. Forest Service. Registered in SAM.gov since 2006, the company focuses on providing essential infrastructure and maintenance support for public lands, with a particular emphasis on the Chippewa National Forest in the Northeast Zone of Forest Service Region 9. The company operates as a for-profit organization and has demonstrated a consistent capability to handle various road-related and construction projects across federal land management sites.

The company has been awarded numerous federal contract task orders primarily involving road maintenance, repair, and improvement services. These contracts have included specific tasks such as road grading, aggregate placement, culvert replacement, pavement preservation, surface material re-establishment, and campground infrastructure maintenance. Most of the contracts have been awarded by the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service, specifically the Region 9 - Eastern Region. While many of the task orders were set aside for total small business participation, some were awarded without specific set-aside designations. The contract values have ranged from approximately $12,000 to $179,867, covering projects like boat access road improvements, administrative building seal coating, and road repairs in various locations within the Chippewa National Forest.

Andy Michalek Logging Inc. holds three significant Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract vehicles with the Forest Service: a $7,001,000 Construction IDIQ for the Chippewa National Forest, a $250,000 Northeast Zone - Region 9 Roads Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA), and a $500,000 Northeast Region 9 Facilities BPA. These multiple-award contract vehicles enable the company to efficiently provide road construction, maintenance, and facilities services across the Eastern Region. The IDVs have specific scopes that include culvert replacements, spot filling, gravel placement, bridge repair, and general construction tasks. The contracts are designed to support the Forest Service's land management mission, with performance periods extending through 2028 and 2032, demonstrating the company's long-term strategic partnership with the federal agency.
