Apex Contracting & Consulting Inc.

Apex Contracting & Consulting Inc., a for-profit small business based in Fallbrook, California, operates as a prime contractor (99% of awards) delivering infrastructure maintenance and construction services—road maintenance, drainage restoration, trail reconstruction, and facility repairs—primarily to the USDA Forest Service Pacific Southwest Region under firm-fixed-price task orders and blanket purchase agreements.

The vendor's customer base is highly concentrated: the Department of Agriculture Forest Service R5-Pacific Southwest Region accounts for 38 awards and $131.4 million in combined potential value (82% of the portfolio), dominating both award count and dollar rankings. The remainder splits among Navy installations and facilities-engineering organizations—the Department of the Navy Naval Facilities Engineering Command (27 awards, $22.1 million), the United States Marine Corps (22 awards, $2.9 million), the Department of the Navy Installations Command (37 awards, $2 million), and the Department of the Navy United States Pacific Fleet Forces (7 awards, $774 thousand)—collectively representing the top five customer agencies at 93% of award count. This concentration reflects Apex's business model: a specialist in Forest Service infrastructure work in California national forests and grasslands, with secondary Navy base facility maintenance work, primarily in the Pacific region.

Apex holds two $50 million single-award blanket purchase agreements with Forest Service Pacific Southwest Region: the California Forest Engineering and Road Maintenance BPA (April 2023–March 2033, covering road maintenance and emergency repairs across 19 named California national forests and grasslands) and the Region 5 Trail Maintenance and Construction BPA (February 2024–September 2025, supporting trail repairs, drainage upgrades, and emergency storm response across 20 national forests). Under these vehicles, Apex has issued 99 task orders totaling $14 million in combined potential value against the primary IDV (Indefinite Delivery Contract N6247311D2224); an additional 22 task orders worth $5.2 million flow through IDC 1291S819D0001. Representative prime work includes a $1.37 million BPA call (September 2024) for Holy Fire Trail Reconstruction disaster recovery on the Los Padres National Forest; a $1.02 million FY26 road maintenance contract (October 2026) under a Total Small Business set-aside; a $978 thousand definitive contract (July 2024) for Crystal Lake and Coldbrook Campground road repairs and resurfacing under the Great American Outdoors Act; and a $832 thousand delivery order (June 2022) for Big Sur area road and drainage maintenance on the Los Padres National Forest. Apex competes under Total Small Business set-asides on Forest Service work but also holds non-set-aside awards.

Award activity has remained relatively flat—six to eight awards per year over the past four years, with only three awards recorded in FY2026 through early October—against a portfolio of 141 total awards and $160.5 million in combined potential value. Only $25.6 million (16%) has been obligated across the full award set, indicating substantial ceiling capacity. Recompete exposure is minimal: just three awards worth $2.5 million reach ultimate completion in the next twenty-four months, reflecting the multi-year BPA structure. As a subcontractor, Apex appears in only one listed award (a $50 thousand roofing sub under Doyon Management Services on a June 2025 Navy real-property contract), representing negligible sub exposure.

Service Contract Inventory data captures nine SCI-reportable prime service contracts (all above $150 thousand) spanning FY2023–FY2025, with total invoiced revenue of $3.6 million: $1.1 million in FY2023 (1.6 FTEs), $1.4 million in FY2024 (0.7 FTEs), and $1.1 million in FY2025 (0.2 FTEs). On federal services contracts in SCI, government-paid rates median around $658/hr, ranging from $349/hr (10th percentile) through $1,068/hr (90th percentile). Apex self-performs all labor on prime SCI contracts (zero sub-hours share). The SCI dataset is a partial window—it excludes goods, products, micro-purchases, and the bulk of Apex's Forest Service work, which flows through fixed-price task orders rather than labor-hour or time-and-materials vehicles. Apex's true federal revenue is substantially larger than the $3.6 million captured in SCI.
