Apex Contracting & Consulting Inc.

Apex Contracting & Consulting Inc., a small business based in Fallbrook, California, operates as a prime contractor delivering infrastructure maintenance, road construction, and post-wildfire recovery services to the USDA Forest Service Pacific Southwest Region and the Department of the Navy, with 99% of recent awards as prime and a $159.2 million combined potential value across 139 awards since 2008.

The company's customer base is heavily concentrated in Forest Service work. The USDA Forest Service R5-Pacific Southwest Region accounts for 36 awards carrying $130.1 million in combined potential value (82% of the portfolio), while the Department of the Navy Naval Facilities Engineering Command, United States Marine Corps, Navy Installations Command, and Pacific Fleet Forces collectively represent 93 task orders but only $27.8 million combined potential value. This split reflects a dual posture: Apex holds deep, high-value relationships with the Forest Service via blanket purchase agreements while maintaining a smaller transaction footprint with Navy/Marine Corps customers. Across award count, the Navy Installations Command ranks first with 37 awards, but those orders are valued at only $2 million combined, underscoring the dollars-vs.-volume divergence.

Apex's primary capability is ground infrastructure work on federal lands. Representative Forest Service awards include a $1.17 million BPA call for Holy Fire Trail Reconstruction disaster recovery (sediment and debris removal across all affected trails, completion September 2026); a $978,084 definitive contract for Crystal Lake and Coldbrook Campground road renovations funded under the Great American Outdoors Act (completion April 2025); a $832,559 delivery order for road and drainage maintenance on ten roads in the Big Sur area of Los Padres National Forest (completion October 2023); and a $294,550 contract for emergency road stabilization throughout Angeles National Forest addressing post-wildfire infrastructure damage (completion June 2026). Navy work centers on facilities maintenance, including a roof replacement subcontract to Doyon Management Services, LLC. The company does not operate as a subcontractor in any meaningful volume — only one sub-award appears in the source (Doyon prime, Apex as sub), with all other activity as prime.

Apex's vehicle position is anchored to two single-award Forest Service blanket purchase agreements, each valued at $50 million over ten years. The $50 million California Forest Engineering and Road Maintenance BPA, awarded April 2023 and running through March 2033, covers road maintenance, construction, and emergency repairs across 19 California national forests and Butte Valley National Grassland. The $50 million Region 5 Trail Maintenance and Construction BPA, awarded February 2024 and running through September 2025, supports trail repairs, drainage upgrades, and emergency storm response across 20 national forests and grasslands. These two vehicles alone anchor most Forest Service task orders. On the Navy side, Apex places work under Indefinite Delivery Contract N6247311D2224 (99 task orders, $14 million combined potential value) and IDC 1291S819D0001 (22 task orders, $5.2 million combined potential value), both supporting Navy Facilities Engineering Command facilities maintenance. The company competes full-and-open (no set-aside designations on most orders), though several smaller Forest Service awards carry Total Small Business set-asides, reflecting the company's small-business designation.

Activity has been stable but not growing. Awards per year ranged from five to eight over the past five years (2022–2025), with only one award recorded in 2026 to date. Within the next twenty-four months, three awards with combined potential value of $1.5 million face ultimate completion, creating modest recompete exposure. SCI-reported invoiced revenue for federal service contracts above the $150,000 threshold totaled $2.5 million across FY2023 and FY2024 ($1.1 million and $1.4 million respectively), with minimal FTE activity (1.6 FTEs in FY2023, 0.7 FTEs in FY2024). Median government-paid hourly rates on SCI-reportable contracts run around $658/hr, with senior labor reaching $1,068/hr. SCI covers only a narrow slice of the vendor's federal activity — primarily smaller service engagements above the reporting threshold — and does not reflect the full value of the company's infrastructure-delivery work for the Forest Service. Across SCI-reportable prime contracts, the company performs all work in-house with zero subcontractor hours, consistent with its posture as a direct-delivery infrastructure contractor rather than a system integrator or staffing firm.
