Ecklund Excavation & Development Inc.

Ecklund Excavation & Development Inc., doing business as Ecklund Excavation, is a Troy, Idaho-based small business that provides forest road maintenance, roadside vegetation management, and mechanical thinning services to the USDA Forest Service as a prime contractor exclusively — the vendor holds no subcontract positions. Ecklund operates under the Total Small Business set-aside across all recent prime awards and competes primarily through BPA call orders and task orders issued under Forest Service blanket purchase agreements.

Ecklund's customer base is concentrated in a single agency across multiple regional offices. The Department of Agriculture Forest Service accounts for 100% of recent awards (39 total, $56.1 million combined potential value), with the Pacific Northwest Region (Region 6) dominating at 28 awards valued at $56.1 million, supplemented by smaller volumes from the Intermountain Region (1 award, $171 thousand) and the Northern Region (3 awards, $57 thousand). The vendor has worked with the Army Corps of Engineers Seattle Engineering District on seven smaller awards totaling $273 thousand. This extreme concentration — a single customer operating through regional procurement — defines Ecklund's footprint.

Ecklund holds two Forest Service BPAs as prime contractor. The FPO Northwest Road Maintenance Blanket Purchase Agreement, a $49 million multiple-award BPA awarded July 2023 and running through June 2033, has generated four task orders under the source data window, including a $274,997 BPA call awarded June 1, 2026, for roadside vegetation maintenance (brushing, cutting, and disposal) along Colville National Forest roads in Washington, and a $162,520.50 call awarded September 24, 2025, for the same scope in Colville. Ecklund also holds a $5 million single-award BPA with the Forest Service Pacific Northwest Region for mechanical and hand thinning services in the Wallowa Whitman and Umatilla National Forests, running through May 2027. A third award—a $171,375 definitive contract awarded August 28, 2023, to the Intermountain Region for roadside mastication services on the Payette National Forest in McCall, Idaho, extending through August 2026—rounds out the major BPA and contract vehicle footprint.

Activity has been episodic rather than steady. The vendor received one award in 2024, two in 2025, and one in 2026 to date, following a single award in 2022 and two in 2023. Four awards (combined potential value $664 thousand) reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, presenting immediate recompete exposure. NAICS concentration reflects the operational scope: Highway, Street, and Bridge Construction (19 awards), Support Activities for Forestry (12 awards), and other construction and civil engineering categories (8 awards combined). PSC coding mirrors this split, with Maintenance of Highways/Roads/Streets/Bridges/Railways (13 awards) and Natural Resources/Conservation work (10 awards combined) anchoring the portfolio. Ecklund's capability portfolio centers on forest infrastructure maintenance work supporting wildfire risk reduction and forest health objectives, often funded through the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, with operations concentrated in the Pacific Northwest and Intermountain regions.
