Cable Excavating, L.L.C.

Cable Excavating, L.L.C., a sole proprietorship based in Russell, Pennsylvania, operates exclusively as a prime contractor on road construction, grading, and forest infrastructure maintenance projects for the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Forest Service, Northeast Region 9 (Eastern Region). The vendor competes entirely under small-business set-asides — all thirteen awards in the source footprint carry Total Small Business designations — and holds a seat on the Northeast Region 9 Roads Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA 12445523A0034), a multiple-award vehicle active through March 31, 2032 with a $250,000 ceiling per task order.

Cable Excavating's award footprint is entirely concentrated with a single customer: the Department of Agriculture's Forest Service Region 9, which accounts for all thirteen prime awards and the full $2.1 million combined potential value. Activity has grown modestly — one award in 2023, five in 2024, one in 2025, and four in 2026 — with nine task orders placed under the Northeast Region 9 Roads BPA carrying $1.1 million in combined potential value. The vendor's core capability set focuses on road reconstruction, grading, and drainage work on Allegheny National Forest properties in Pennsylvania's Marienville, Bradford, and Alf Bradford ranger districts. Representative work includes a $351,590 purchase order (April 2026) for road grading and drivability restoration on Forest Service roads in Marienville; a $167,503 definitive contract (May 2026) for reconstruction of Forest Service Roads 212 and 486, involving 3.2 linear miles of roadway with culvert replacement, base and surface stone placement totaling 2,507 tons, and seeding and mulching; and a $130,692 BPA call (May 2026) for the Alf-Prather Run Road Reconstruction project in Tionesta with completion by August 10, 2026. Work consistently requires compliance with Federal Highway Project Specification FP-14, Forest Service supplemental specifications, and Davis-Bacon prevailing wage rates when applicable.

Two awards carrying combined potential value of $478 thousand reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, presenting recompete exposure. The vendor has not held a position on any other federal vehicles, IDVs, or grant programs, and the source identifies no subcontractor footprint — Cable Excavating operates as a standalone prime on all thirteen awards. Geographic scope remains confined to Pennsylvania national forest ranger districts within Forest Service Region 9's operational area.
