Apex Enterprises, Inc.

Apex Enterprises, Inc., a Northern California-based HUBZone-certified small disadvantaged business, operates as a prime contractor delivering hazard tree removal, forestry stewardship, vegetation management, wildfire recovery, and road maintenance services to federal land management agencies. The vendor competes predominantly under set-asides—its recent work splits between HUBZone set-aside and total small business designations—and holds no subcontractor relationships in its award portfolio.

Apex's customer base concentrates almost entirely on the Department of Agriculture Forest Service across three regional entities. The Forest Service R5–Pacific Southwest Region leads by both award count (nine awards, $108.3 million combined potential value) and represents 39% of total potential value. Two additional Forest Service customers—the Research Service Rocky Mountain Research Station and R6–Pacific Northwest Region—each anchor $50 million BPAs, collectively accounting for 36% of potential value. The National Park Service contributes two awards totaling $14.4 million (5% of potential value). This concentration reflects Apex's positioning as a specialized land stewardship and fire recovery contractor for western federal forests and parks.

The vendor's capability portfolio centers on concrete forestry and land management work. Representative prime contracts include a $8.82 million firm fixed price award from the National Park Service (September 2024) for hazard tree cleanup across 61 miles of roadway in Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks following the 2021 KNP Complex Wildfire, involving removal of over 7,300 hazardous trees and restoration of site conditions. A $5.57 million BPA call from the National Park Service (September 2026) addresses wildfire risk reduction and hazard tree mitigation within the same burn perimeter through December 2027. Under the Forest Service Pacific Southwest Stewardship BPA, Apex has executed multiple task orders for volcano reforestation, salvage deck removal, mechanical site preparation, and integrated resource stewardship across California National Forests, with individual task order values ranging from $731 thousand to $2.65 million. Apex also holds four indefinite delivery contracts through the National Interagency Fire Center, valued at $250 thousand to $500 thousand each, for chipper equipment and crews supporting wildland fire suppression and incident response across Forest Service Regions 5 and 6.

Apex's vehicle position centers on seven major blanket purchase agreements with the Forest Service and related agencies. The vendor holds four $50 million single-award BPAs: the Pacific Southwest Stewardship BPA (Region 5, California; 14 National Forests through October 2032), the Pacific Northwest Stewardship BPA (Region 6, Oregon and Washington; through October 2032), the Intermountain Stewardship BPA (Region 4, Idaho, Nevada, Utah, Wyoming; through October 2032), and the Forest Engineering and Road Maintenance BPA (California; through March 2033). A $50 million Land Management Integrated Resources National BPA awarded October 2025 extends through March 2033 and encompasses professional services, natural resources consulting, environmental restoration, and infrastructure work across federal lands nationwide. Apex also holds a $1.5 million Bureau of Reclamation multiple-award BPA for shaded fuel break construction and vegetation management (through September 2031). Task order activity under these vehicles remains relatively sparse in the source: the Pacific Southwest Stewardship BPA has generated four task orders totaling $6.3 million, and the Land Management Integrated Resources National BPA has one task order of $5.6 million.

Award activity shows growth through 2023 (seven awards), declined to three in 2024 and one in 2025, then recovered to four in 2026. Only one award (the $5.6 million Land Management Integrated Resources BPA call) faces ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, limiting immediate recompete exposure. Combined potential value of $275.5 million across 19 prime awards masks a material funding gap: only $22.7 million (8% of combined potential value) has been obligated to date, reflecting the indefinite delivery nature of most awards and the typical lag between BPA award and task order issuance.

Service Contract Inventory reporting shows Apex's federal services delivery at scale. SCI-reportable invoiced revenue across FY2023–FY2025 totaled $13.3 million ($3.9 million in FY2023, $562 thousand in FY2024, $8.8 million in FY2025), delivered by a federal-services workforce that grew from 4.5 FTEs in FY2023 to 10.0 FTEs in FY2025. Government-paid hourly rates on SCI-reportable prime contracts run a median of $315.48 per hour, with senior labor pricing reaching $1,114.35 per hour at the 90th percentile. Apex performs all work with its own labor; zero percent of prime-contract hours are subcontracted across SCI records. This all-internal delivery model, combined with HUBZone and small disadvantaged business designations, positions Apex as a specialized regional supplier for western wildfire recovery and forest stewardship rather than a broad federal IT or professional-services vendor.
