Carl Mcdade Construction Inc.

Carl Mcdade Construction Inc., a veteran-owned small business based in Mulberry, Arkansas, performs road construction, culvert replacement, and forest infrastructure maintenance for the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service as a prime contractor exclusively under total small business set-asides. The company operates 100% as a prime and holds a $12 million single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract (MATOC) with USDA Forest Service Region 8–Southern Region running through March 31, 2028, which anchors its federal footprint.

Carl Mcdade's customer concentration is acute: 96% of awards by count and 100% by potential value flow from the Department of Agriculture Forest Service Region 8–Southern Region, which manages the Ozark and Ouachita National Forests in northern Arkansas. The company has delivered task orders under the Arkansas Ozark National Forest North Road Construction MATOC covering culvert replacement, road maintenance, flood damage repair, and brush removal across six Ranger Districts. Representative recent delivery orders include a $233,182 firm fixed-price order issued August 11, 2025, for emergency flood repair on National Forest System Roads 1444, 1450, and 1471 near Russellville, Arkansas (completion June 30, 2026); a $133,300 order from September 25, 2025, for Wedington road maintenance in Fayetteville, Arkansas (completion April 30, 2026); and a $208,240 delivery order issued September 23, 2026, for culvert replacement and Driver Creek erosion repair (completion February 28, 2027). Work is performed at multiple locations in north-central Arkansas: Russellville, Mulberry, and Fayetteville. The company's capability portfolio spans commercial and institutional building construction (24 awards), forestry support activities (16 awards), and highway and bridge construction (13 awards), reflecting its core business in national forest road systems infrastructure.

Activity has been modest and sporadic — one award in 2021, one in 2023, one in 2024, three in 2025, and one in 2026 — with combined potential value of $61.7 million across 57 total awards since 2005 and only $4.7 million obligated to date (8% of ceiling value). The company has placed five task orders under the current $12 million MATOC totaling approximately $732,000. One award (valued at $208,240) faces ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and therefore enters recompete in that window. Carl Mcdade holds no subcontractor relationships and maintains no parent contract vehicle positions outside USDA Forest Service regional MATOCs.
