Gibson & Son Road Building, Inc.

Gibson & Son Road Building, Inc., doing business as Gibson & Son Excavation, is a for-profit heavy equipment supplier based in Ellensburg, Washington, that operates exclusively as a prime contractor delivering dump trucks, excavators, log loaders, skidders, vibratory rollers, skid-steer loaders, and chippers to the federal government under full-and-open competition with no set-aside designations.

The vendor's customer footprint is highly concentrated: 88% of awards (14 of 17 total awards) fund the Department of Agriculture Forest Service R6-Pacific Northwest Region, which accounts for $2.5 million of the combined potential value across all awards. The remaining presence includes one award to the Department of Agriculture Forest Service R3-Southwestern Region valued at $11 thousand. Recent activity has accelerated significantly — the vendor secured nine awards in 2025 alone after minimal activity in prior years (two awards in 2021, two in 2017, two in 2009), with the most recent award dated May 7, 2026. The combined potential value across all 17 prime awards stands at $2.9 million, with $2.5 million obligated (86% of ceiling value), indicating strong execution and realization on awarded work.

Gibson & Son's award portfolio reflects specialized equipment rental and supply for forest service operations and incident response. Recent representative work includes a $944.86 thousand purchase order (August 2025) for dump trucks at the POMAS location, a $303.33 thousand order (September 2025) for vibratory rollers at Lower Sugarloaf, a $344 thousand order (August 2025) for two log loaders and one Type 1 chipper, and a $284.91 thousand skidder services contract (September 2021) supporting incident operations near Schneider Springs. Smaller awards in the past twelve months include a $167.5 thousand dump truck order (July 2025), a $118.8 thousand skid-steer loader purchase (September 2025), a $101.77 thousand dump truck order (September 2025), and several sub-$45 thousand equipment purchases for vibratory rollers, excavators, and log loaders completed in rapid succession (August through October 2025 and May 2026). Work is performed in Wenatchee, Washington, with performance periods typically compressed to weeks or months, indicating fulfillment of immediate operational and emergency response needs rather than long-term service contracts.

The vendor does not subcontract and has no identified IDIQs, GWACs, or multi-award vehicle positions. Growth trajectory shows recent concentrated volume in 2025 but carries recompete risk: nine of the vendor's 2025 awards carry completion dates in calendar years 2025 and early 2026, meaning the vendor faces potential recompete or replacement for a substantial portion of recent revenue within the current calendar year and through mid-2026. The vendor's NAICS profile splits between Construction, Mining, and Forestry Machinery and Equipment Rental and Leasing (9 awards) and Support Activities for Forestry (5 awards), aligning with the Forest Service's equipment procurement and incident response needs in the Pacific Northwest region.
