Cable Excavating, L.L.C.

Cable Excavating, L.L.C., a Pennsylvania-based small business, provides road construction, grading, and forest infrastructure maintenance services to the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Forest Service as a prime contractor exclusively under total small business set-asides. The company is a sole proprietorship operating 100% in the prime capacity, with all eleven recent federal awards flowing from the Forest Service's Northeast Region 9 operations in Pennsylvania.

Cable Excavating's capability portfolio centers on highway and road construction (NAICS 541512; PSC category Repair Or Alteration Of Highways/Roads/Streets/Bridges/Railways). The company delivers road grading, culvert replacement, drainage reconstruction, surface improvement, and erosion control work across multiple ranger districts in Pennsylvania's national forests. Representative awards include a $313,574 purchase order from Forest Service Region 9 for grading operations and drainage restoration in Marienville (April 2026, completion September 2026); a $170,855 BPA task order for road grading services in the Alf Bradford Ranger District (May 2024, completion November 2024); and a $258,259 definitive contract for road reconstruction on the Allegheny National Forest Marienville Ranger District, encompassing culvert installation, aggregate placement, and turf establishment (September 2023, completion December 2023).

Customer concentration is complete and undiversified: the Forest Service's Northeast Region 9—Eastern Region accounts for 100% of awards and combined potential value ($1.8 million across all eleven awards). Cable Excavating operates exclusively under a single BPA vehicle, the Northeast Region 9 Roads Blanket Purchase Agreement (multiple-award, $250,000 ceiling per task order, active through March 31, 2032), which has generated eight task orders valued at $985 thousand in combined potential value. The remaining three awards consist of a definitive contract and two purchase orders under the same funding agency.

Activity has been episodic: three awards in 2023, five in 2024, one in 2025, and two in 2026 (most recent May 11, 2026). Two awards carrying combined potential value of $444 thousand face ultimate completion in the next twenty-four months and therefore present recompete opportunity. Cable Excavating has no subcontracting footprint and does not sit on any parent vehicles as a contractor. The company's footprint remains tightly scoped to a single customer agency and a single BPA vehicle, with no exposure to other federal infrastructure or defense accounts.
