Bluegrass Contracting Corp

Bluegrass Contracting Corp, a veteran-owned small business, operates as a prime contractor delivering highway and bridge construction, pavement preservation, and transportation infrastructure rehabilitation to federal agencies under total small business set-asides and full-and-open competition. The Lexington, Kentucky-based Subchapter S corporation competes predominantly on FHWA and Forest Service indefinite-delivery vehicles and task orders across the Mid-Atlantic and South regions.

FHWA dominates Bluegrass's customer concentration overwhelmingly: the Federal Highway Administration accounts for 37 awards (covering 81% of recent awards by count) with $332.6 million in combined potential value, representing approximately 89% of the vendor's total $375.4 million pipeline. The Department of the Army Corps of Engineers (multiple districts) represents the second tier with roughly $19.4 million across nine awards, followed by the U.S. Forest Service Southern Region with four awards totaling $17.4 million and the National Park Service Southeast Region with five awards totaling $61 thousand. This concentration leaves Bluegrass exposed to recompete cliff risk: seven awards with combined potential value of $16 million are scheduled for completion within the next twenty-four months.

Bluegrass holds position on five named parent vehicles. The vendor's most active vehicle is Indefinite Delivery Contract 693C7320D000003 (an FHWA Mid-Atlantic Region construction MATOC), supporting 11 task orders worth $22.8 million combined potential value. In November 2025, Bluegrass was awarded a new $60 million multiple-award MATOC IDIQ from FHWA's Eastern Federal Lands Highway Division for highway, street, and bridge construction across the Mid-Atlantic region (Virginia, West Virginia, Maryland, and D.C.) through November 2030, with individual task orders ranging from $50,000 to $3 million. In February 2026, the vendor secured a second $60 million multiple-award MATOC IDIQ from FHWA for the South Region (Tennessee, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Arkansas) through February 2031, also on total small business set-aside. Both vehicles authorize incidental design and design-build services. Bluegrass also holds two $8 million single-award IDIQs with the U.S. Forest Service Southern Region for road construction in Kentucky's Daniel Boone National Forest, awarded June 1, 2023, through March 31, 2028, under Davis-Bacon prevailing wage.

Bluegrass's recent award examples reflect its core capability in federal infrastructure maintenance and repair: a $2.78 million firm fixed-price delivery order from FHWA (December 2025) for structural repairs to three tunnels in Chesapeake and Ohio Canal National Historical Park in Maryland, including concrete removal and structural restoration; a $2.15 million delivery order (April 2026) for slide repairs and roadway stabilization at Glade Creek Road in West Virginia, including mechanically-stabilized earth wall construction and roadway excavation; a $4.19 million delivery order (August 2025) for pavement preservation at Assateague Island National Seashore in Maryland, including thin-lift asphalt overlay and milling; and a $5.88 million delivery order (August 2024) for resurfacing and restoration of Ohio Drive SW and West Basin Drive in Washington, D.C., including milling, overlay, and granite curb installation. The vendor has registered in SAM.gov since 2002 and has delivered across federally managed lands including national parks, national forests, and scenic byways throughout the Mid-Atlantic and South regions.

Activity has been episodic rather than trending: one award in 2022, five in 2023, two in 2024, five in 2025, and three in 2026 through mid-April. All 75 awards in the source data are prime contracts; Bluegrass has no subcontract footprint. The combined dollars obligated across all awards total $74.4 million, representing 20% of the $375.4 million combined potential value, indicating substantial future performance obligations. NAICS concentration is pronounced: 57 of 75 awards fall under Highway, Street, and Bridge Construction (NAICS 237310), with the remainder split among concrete foundation and heavy civil engineering categories.
