David Johnson

David Johnson, a sole proprietorship based in Oak Hill, Ohio, provides road and trail maintenance, brushing, mowing, and associated construction services to the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service as a prime contractor, operating under total small business set-asides on a subset of awards and full-and-open competition on others.

David Johnson operates exclusively within the Forest Service's Eastern Region (Region 9) and holds a $10 million Multiple Award Task Order Contract (MATOC) issued in September 2021 with an indefinite delivery structure, plus two Blanket Purchase Agreements valued at $250 thousand each (one for roads construction, one for facilities construction), both issued in March 2022 and running through 2032. Against these vehicles and related Forest Service delivery orders, David Johnson has received 24 total awards since 2011, concentrated across road maintenance (eight awards under Construction of Highways, Roads, Streets, Bridges, and Railways PSC), landscaping and mowing services (five awards), and support activities for forestry (three awards). Recent prime work includes a $199,952.50 total small business set-aside purchase order for general maintenance on designated OHV trails within the Hanging Rock Trail System (Pedro, Ohio, awarded August 11, 2026, with completion by August 10, 2027), a $211,004 firm fixed-price delivery order for maintenance of the Superior Trail System (awarded July 14, 2026), and a $29,396 delivery order for road maintenance in the Ironton Ranger District (awarded September 8, 2026). The vendor also completed a $140,000 trail maintenance delivery order for the Ironton Ranger District and a $150,875 delivery order for Athens Road Main Corridor maintenance within the Monday Creek Trail System. Work is performed across multiple locations within the Eastern Region, predominantly in Pedro and Nelsonville, Ohio, with place of performance tied to specific national forests, ranger districts, and recreation areas — primarily the Wayne National Forest and its Ironton and Athens Ranger Districts.

David Johnson's customer concentration is absolute: all 24 awards fund Forest Service Region 9 programs. Activity peaked in 2022 with six awards but has remained sparse in recent years (one award in 2021, four in 2023, two in 2025, three in 2026 year to date). Combined potential value across all awards stands at $11.9 million, with $1.3 million obligated (11% realized). Four awards with combined potential value of $529 thousand face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months. The vendor operates with no subcontract footprint — 100% of awards are prime positions — and competes on both set-aside and full-and-open delivery orders within a single customer relationship spanning fifteen years of recorded federal work.
