Judd Buick Construction, Inc.

Judd Buick Construction, Inc., a HUBZone-certified small business based in Redding, California, operates exclusively as a prime contractor delivering road and bridge construction, maintenance, emergency repair, and infrastructure restoration services to the USDA Forest Service and Department of the Interior across western regions. The vendor competes entirely under the Total Small Business set-aside (or occasionally under no set-aside when issued from already-awarded vehicles), with no subcontractor engagement across its federal footprint.

Customer concentration is extreme and deliberate. The Department of Agriculture Forest Service Region 5 (Pacific Southwest Region) accounts for 59 of 69 awards (97% of award count) and $192.3 million of $294.7 million combined potential value. The Forest Service Research Service Rocky Mountain Research Station and Region 1 (Northern Region) each hold a single large IDV award of $50 million each. The remaining customer agencies—Forest Service Region 4, the National Park Service Pacific West Region, and Forest Service Washington Office Acquisitions—together represent less than 3% of awards. This customer concentration is characteristic of the vendor's business model: it holds no 8(a) GWAC positions, no GSA Schedules, and no civilian-agency customers outside the Forest Service ecosystem.

Judd Buick Construction anchors its prime footprint on four large indefinite-delivery vehicles through the Forest Service. The $50 million California Forest Engineering and Road Maintenance BPA (Region 5, awarded April 2023, single award, through March 2033) has generated nine task orders totaling $17.8 million. The $45 million Road Construction and Maintenance IDIQ covering the Region 5 Southern Sierra Zone National Forests (Inyo, Sequoia, Sierra, Stanislaus; awarded August 2022, single award, through August 2027) has funded seven task orders worth $3.3 million to date. The $50 million Region 1–Region 4 Forest Engineering and Road Maintenance BPA (awarded October 2023, multiple award, through August 2033) and the newly awarded $50 million Region 4 Road and Bridge Construction MATOC (awarded May 2025, multiple award, through April 2030) provide geographic reach into the Intermountain Region and northern forests. Representative definitive contracts include the $3.8 million Sierra Vista Scenic Byway rehabilitation on Minarets Road, Beasore Road, and Beasore Loop Road (Region 5, awarded July 2025, completion October 2026); a $2.2 million purchase order for Frazier Mountain Road paving in Los Padres National Forest (Region 5, awarded June 2026, funded through Disaster Supplemental Funding, completion October 2026); and a $770 thousand demolition contract at Crystal Creek Camp in Whiskeytown National Recreation Area for the National Park Service (awarded July 2025, completion December 2025). Capability scope spans asphalt paving, chip sealing, bridge replacement and repair, culvert and drainage installation, erosion control, pothole patching, gate installation, and post-wildfire restoration—work frequently funded through disaster supplemental appropriations, the Great American Outdoors Act, or the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act.

Activity has remained relatively flat across the last five years—10 awards in 2022, 6 in 2023, 10 in 2024, 9 in 2025, and 6 year-to-date in 2026—but eight awards (combined potential value $18.8 million) reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and therefore face recompete exposure. The source date is September 2026, placing several high-value awards from 2025 approaching their contract-end dates through late 2026 and mid-2027.

Service Contract Inventory reporting captures federal invoiced labor only and reflects the vendor's self-perform delivery model. SCI-reported invoicing reached $18.7 million in FY2025 across 14.1 FTEs of government-paid labor—a sharp increase from $7.1 million and 5.0 FTEs in FY2024. Across all SCI records, median government-paid hourly rates ran around $935.94/hr, with senior labor and supervision pricing through the 90th percentile at $2,183.42/hr and field crew roles at the 10th percentile around $454.45/hr. Zero subcontractor hours are reported across SCI-reportable contracts; the vendor self-performs all field work on road and bridge projects. This posture—100% prime, zero subs, entirely within the Forest Service ecosystem, exclusively Total Small Business set-asides—positions Judd Buick as a specialized western federal infrastructure contractor with deep regional roots and no teaming exposure or multi-agency diversification strategy.
