Cutting Edge Contractors Inc.

Cutting Edge Contractors Inc., doing business as CE Equipment, is a Las Vegas, Nevada-based economically disadvantaged women-owned small business (EDWOSB) and SBA-certified women-owned small business (WOSB) that provides heavy equipment, road and bridge construction, infrastructure support, and emergency response services to the federal government exclusively as a prime contractor. The company competes predominantly under small business set-asides; the majority of its recent prime awards carry total small business or partial small business designations, though a material share of task orders are issued full-and-open against existing indefinite delivery vehicles.

Cutting Edge Contractors' capability portfolio centers on wildland fire suppression support, forest engineering and road maintenance, equipment rental and deployment, and emergency response logistics across western U.S. Forest Service regions. Representative work includes a $1.14 billion definitive contract awarded in February 2022 by the Forest Service Region 4 for the Yankee Meadow Campground Phase 2 reconstruction project in Cedar City, Utah, which involved comfort station installation, group site construction, and road resurfacing; a $636.8 thousand definitive contract awarded in September 2022 for the Lamoille Pavement Preservation Phase 2 project on the Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest near Elko, Nevada, involving road pulverizing, regrading, compacting, and repaving; and a $1.34 million definitive contract awarded in September 2025 by the Bureau of Reclamation for installation and commissioning of four active drop-arm beam barricades at Davis Dam, including demolition and replacement of existing traffic barriers and restoration of roadway surfaces. The company also executes numerous delivery orders for heavy equipment provision—excavators, bulldozers, water tenders, portable comfort stations—valued between $14,400 and $250,410 against its blanket purchase agreements and indefinite delivery vehicles with the Forest Service across multiple regions.

Customer concentration aligns almost entirely with the Department of Agriculture Forest Service and subordinate components. The top five funding entities account for 87% of awards by count and 97% of combined potential value. The Forest Service R3–Southwestern Region dominates the dollar ranking (18 awards, $51.4 million potential value), followed closely by the Forest Service Research Service Rocky Mountain Research Station (6 awards, $50.6 million potential value) and the Forest Service R1–Northern Region (1 award, $50 million potential value). By award count, the National Interagency Fire Center leads with 27 awards ($5.3 million combined potential value), followed by Forest Service R4–Intermountain Region with 21 awards ($3.3 million combined potential value). This customer concentration reflects Cutting Edge Contractors' positioning as a dedicated wildland fire and forest infrastructure vendor with no significant presence in defense, civilian IT, or other federal verticals.

Cutting Edge Contractors holds multiple large-ceiling indefinite delivery vehicles and blanket purchase agreements with the Forest Service. The primary vehicles include two $50 million BPAs: one issued by Region 1–Northern Region in April 2024 for forest engineering and road maintenance across Regions 1–4 with a performance period through September 2033, and one issued by Region 3–Southwestern Region in April 2024 for Arizona forest engineering and road maintenance through February 2033. The company also holds a $50 million multiple-award MATOC awarded by Region 4 in May 2025 for road and bridge construction, repair, and maintenance services across Regions 1, 2, 3, 4, 8, and 9, with a 5-year ordering period through April 2030 and anticipated task order magnitudes ranging from $2,000 to $3 million. Additionally, Cutting Edge Contractors holds nine smaller indefinite delivery contracts (each valued at $250,000) awarded by the National Interagency Fire Center in February, May, and June 2025 and June 2024 for miscellaneous heavy equipment, water handling services, and potable/gray water truck/handwashing stations across various Forest Service zones and regions, with performance periods extending through 2028–2030. The company also maintains a $7 million BPA issued by the Forest Service Technology and Development Center in November 2021 for heavy equipment support services related to storm and natural disaster recovery in California and Nevada.

Activity has grown substantially over the past five years—from 16 awards in 2022 to a peak of 22 awards in 2025—demonstrating consistent expansion in Forest Service task order volume. However, only three awards with combined potential value of $2.3 million face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, representing minimal near-term recompete exposure. The source data spans 2017 to June 2026, with the vast majority of recent awards dating to 2022 onward.

Service Contract Inventory data captures a small subset of Cutting Edge Contractors' federal activity. The company reported $1.2 million in SCI-reportable invoiced revenue across five prime contracts from FY2022 through FY2024, with FY2022 showing $737 thousand across roughly 0.8 FTEs and FY2023 showing $424 thousand across roughly 0.5 FTEs; no SCI-reportable invoicing is recorded for FY2024 in the source. Government-paid hourly rates on SCI-reportable prime contracts ranged from $408/hr at the 10th percentile to $2,730/hr at the 90th percentile, with a median around $467/hr. The SCI dataset represents labor performed under service contracts above the $150,000 threshold and excludes the company's significant goods procurement (equipment sales and rentals) and smaller task orders that form the bulk of its Forest Service business. Across SCI-reportable prime contracts, subcontractors accounted for an average of 7% of total contractor hours, with two named subcontractors appearing in the source records. The company operates primarily as its own delivery vehicle, building its own equipment and labor teams rather than relying on subcontractor capacity. Cutting Edge Contractors has no identified federal subcontractor posture—the vendor is 100% prime across its award portfolio with no sub-awards in the source data.
