Chaparral Construction, Inc.

Chaparral Construction, Inc., doing business as Cordova Construction, is a small business general contractor based in Dickinson, North Dakota, that delivers infrastructure and construction services to federal civilian agencies as a prime contractor, with all seven recent awards placed directly to the company without set-aside restrictions (two awards under total small business set-asides, five under full-and-open competition).

The vendor's federal footprint concentrates almost entirely on the Department of the Interior National Park Service Midwest Region, which accounts for five of seven awards and $2.8 million of the $4.2 million combined potential value. The Department of Agriculture Forest Service R1-Northern Region placed one award worth $1.4 million, and the Department of the Interior Bureau of Land Management Montana-Dakotas placed one small purchase order for $14 thousand. Across this narrow customer base, Chaparral Construction has demonstrated capability in water system renovation, sewer system replacement, street and sidewalk reconstruction, campground facility upgrades, and utility conduit installation — work concentrated in Theodore Roosevelt National Park and Dakota Prairie Grasslands in western North Dakota. Representative work includes a $1.4 million Civilian Conservation Corps Campground Updates contract with Forest Service for Dakota Prairie Grasslands (awarded July 2024, small business set-aside), a $1.5 million Theodore Roosevelt National Park street and sidewalk replacement contract (awarded September 2022, small business set-aside), a $759 thousand sewer system replacement contract at Theodore Roosevelt National Park (awarded July 2021, small business set-aside), and a $508 thousand water system renovation contract at Theodore Roosevelt National Park North Unit Juniper Campground (awarded April 2025, full and open).

Activity pattern shows sporadic placement: one award in 2021, one in 2022, none in 2023, two in 2024, one in 2025, and two in 2026 (most recent April 22, 2026). SCI-reportable invoicing shows $2.2 million across FY2022–FY2024, with $759 thousand reported in FY2022 across 1.1 FTEs and $1.5 million in FY2023 across 2.7 FTEs; no invoicing recorded in FY2024 despite an active award. Government-paid hourly rates on SCI-reported federal service contracts ran with a median around $265.67 per hour, ranging from the 10th percentile at $53.13 per hour to the 90th percentile at $332.96 per hour, reflecting a mix of labor categories from site labor to professional engineering and project management. Across prime SCI-reportable contracts, the vendor engaged subcontractors for roughly 18 percent of total contractor hours, with one named subcontractor reported; Chaparral Construction functions as a pure prime operator with minimal sub engagement in federal work.

The vendor operates exclusively on small-dollar federal projects in a geographically confined region and has not placed task orders against governmentwide vehicles, GWACs, BPAs, or agency-wide IDIQs.
