Applied Pavement Technology, Inc.

Applied Pavement Technology, Inc., a Subchapter S corporation based in Champaign, Illinois, delivers pavement engineering consulting, training development, and technical support services to federal transportation and defense agencies as a prime contractor (97% of recent awards) competing predominantly full-and-open, with selective use of small business set-asides on Army Corps vehicles and Forest Service work.

APTech's customer concentration is extreme and stable. The Federal Highway Administration accounts for 147 awards (70% of the total) and $185.2 million in combined potential value across the top five customer agencies—the source of roughly 86% of all awards and 99% of dollars. The Army Corps of Engineers Engineering District Omaha anchors a secondary but material footprint with 27 awards valued at $58.2 million, driven primarily by the PAVER/PCASE pavement management software sustainment IDIQ ($25 million ceiling) and four military installation pavement surveys and assessments (Fort Meade, Fort Leonard Wood, Fort Bliss, Fort Stewart). The remaining customer set — Engineer Research and Development Center, Air Combat Command, and Forest Service Region 5 — accounts for less than 1% of potential value and represents episodic, low-volume engagement. FHWA dominates both volume and dollars; no secondary customer approaches its scale.

APTech's primary IDIQ footprint reflects this concentration. Three FHWA vehicles dominate the parent-vehicle ranking: the Infrastructure Research and Technology Deployment Program ($26 million); a newly awarded $18.5 million technical and support services IDIQ for pavement programs (December 2024, total small business set-aside, through December 2029); and a $10 million training development IDIQ awarded May 2025 covering pavement, materials, construction, maintenance, asset management, and financial management disciplines. The Army Corps $25 million PAVER/PCASE software sustainment IDIQ (May 2015, total small business set-aside, through May 2030) and five older Army Corps delivery-order vehicles complete the vehicle portfolio. Recent task-order awards under these vehicles include $1,639,204 for development and delivery of National Highway Institute pavement courses 134063 and 134112 (February 2026), $858,837 for NHI courses 131139, 131050, 131141, 131145, and 131149 (April 2026), and $485,187 for National Asset Management Working Group support (April 2026), all from FHWA.

APTech's capability portfolio centers on National Highway Institute training course development and delivery across pavement design, preservation, rehabilitation, asset management, and materials disciplines; pavement condition assessments and PAVER software analysis at military installations and transportation corridors; technical guidance and research on pavement preservation, recycled asphalt pavement materials, wildfire impacts on pavements, and life-cycle assessment tools; and coordination of tribal transportation technical assistance through the Tribal Technical Assistance Program (TTAP). Representative work includes the $2,349,549 FHWA LCA PAVE Tool technical support and implementation delivery order (September 2022, extended through September 2025); a $493,403 Forest Service contract for inventory and condition assessment of approximately 1,400 miles of paved roads, parking areas, and boat ramps across Forest Service Regions 5 and 6 in California, Oregon, Kentucky, Tennessee, and Arizona (September 2023, total small business set-aside, completed September 2025); and a cooperative agreement with FHWA for delivery of the TTAP in the western region, serving American Indian and Alaska Native tribes through regional TTAP centers (May 2024, through September 2029).

Activity has remained flat year over year—ten awards in 2022 declining slightly to four awards in 2026 (year-to-date through April)—with only three awards (combined potential value $1.5 million) reaching ultimate completion in the next twenty-four months, creating minimal near-term recompete exposure. The recent IDIQ awards, all closing in 2029–2030, anchor the vendor's forward pipeline through the end of the decade. In its subcontractor role, APTech performs engineering services and highway cost allocation study labor support to Jacobs Government Services Company on the Kirtland Air Force Base Repair Apron C project (March 2025) and to Battelle Memorial Institute on the Highway Cost Allocation Study (September 2024). As a sub-recipient on federal research grants, APTech supports pavement management guidance development and flooding-resiliency research with the National Academy of Sciences, a low-carbon pavement guide with University of California Davis, and a low-carbon guide development effort with Iowa State University (sub-awards dated December 2023 through October 2024). APTech holds no GWAC or GSA Schedule positions and operates exclusively through direct prime awards to FHWA and Army Corps and episodic awards from civilian agencies; the vendor's entire competitive posture rests on FHWA and Army Corps vehicles.
