Batchelor Excavation, LLC

Batchelor Excavation, LLC, doing business as J Batchelor Excavating, provides excavation, road construction, infrastructure repair, and heavy equipment rental services to the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service and the National Interagency Fire Center as a prime contractor across full-and-open and total small business set-aside vehicles. The Manson, Washington-based for-profit limited liability company and Subchapter S corporation has operated since 2004 and competes across both set-aside and unrestricted procurement, with roughly 94% of recent awards falling under full-and-open designations and the remainder reserved for small business.

Batchelor Excavation's customer footprint is heavily concentrated with the Forest Service Pacific Northwest Region. The top customer accounts for 94% of recent awards and $54.8 million of the combined $57.8 million potential value across 151 prime awards. The National Interagency Fire Center represents the second customer with 14 awards totaling $1.4 million in potential value. Representative work includes a $326,876 Competitive delivery order issued August 2024 under the Forest Service R6 Road Construction IDIQ for roadway reconditioning, culvert and ditch work, and erosion control across the Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest; a $200,607 total small business set-aside BPA call issued April 2026 under the FPO Northwest Road Maintenance Blanket Purchase Agreement for lower Sugarloaf BAER road treatments; and a $265,232 delivery order issued August 2021 for trailhead parking lot development at Harts Pass under the same Forest Service R6 Road Construction IDIQ.

Batchelor Excavation holds a $49 million multiple-award Blanket Purchase Agreement with Forest Service Region 6 running through June 2033, awarded July 2023, which anchors the bulk of the company's recent task-order activity. The vendor also holds three separate total small business set-aside Indefinite Delivery Contracts with the National Interagency Fire Center: a $250,000 contract for miscellaneous heavy equipment in Region 6 Pacific Northwest only (awarded February 2026, expiring May 2029); a $250,000 contract for heavy equipment in West Zone Regions 5 and 6 (awarded February 2026, expiring June 2028); and a $250,000 contract for miscellaneous heavy equipment Region 6 (awarded May 2024, expiring May 2029). Task-order activity under these parent vehicles reflects the company's primary capability portfolio: heavy equipment (dozers, excavators, front-end loaders) rental and operation, road maintenance and repair, wildfire suppression support, and emergency stabilization following fire events. Top parent vehicles by task-order count include blanket purchase agreement AG04H1B177033 (19 task orders, $508 thousand), indefinite delivery contract 12569R23T7483 (13 task orders, $903 thousand), and blanket purchase agreement AG04H1B147017 (13 task orders, $949 thousand).

Award activity has remained steady at 5 to 9 awards annually over the past five years; 2026 data is limited to three awards as of the snapshot date. One award carrying $201 thousand in potential value reaches ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months. The company's work is performed in Wenatchee, Washington and subordinate field sites across the Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest and broader Pacific Northwest jurisdictions. Category concentration reflects a forestry-support posture: 111 awards fall under Support Activities for Forestry (NAICS 113311), 20 under Highway, Street, and Bridge Construction, and 7 under Site Preparation Contractors, with 86 awards coded to Natural Resources/Conservation—Forest-Range Fire Suppression/Presuppression (PSC code).
