Golat & Engel Custom Gravel Crushing Inc.

Golat & Engel Custom Gravel Crushing Inc., a for-profit Subchapter S corporation based in Bruce, Wisconsin, operates exclusively as a prime contractor providing gravel crushing and aggregate processing services to the USDA Forest Service's Eastern Region (Region 9). The vendor competes in the full-and-open market without set-aside designation on the vast majority of its work, though a recent IDIQ awarded on June 9, 2025, carries a Total Small Business set-aside.

The vendor's capability portfolio centers on crushing aggregate from designated pit locations to specified sizes, stockpiling materials, and conducting quality control testing to support road maintenance and infrastructure development within Wisconsin's national forests, primarily the Chequamegon-Nicolet and Ottawa National Forests. Recent representative work includes a $248,670.80 delivery order for gravel crushing services in Park Falls, Wisconsin, awarded on January 4, 2023, funded through the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act; a $199,180 delivery order for Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest East zone crushing at Eagle River, Wisconsin, awarded on July 10, 2023; and a $208,872.10 delivery order for gravel crushing services in Long Lake, Wisconsin, awarded on July 1, 2026, set aside for total small business with performance through December 20, 2027.

Customer concentration is absolute: 100% of the vendor's 23 awards totaling $6.9 million in combined potential value fund USDA Forest Service Region 9 operations. The vendor holds three parent IDIQ vehicles: Indefinite Delivery Contract 12569R20D0004 (9 task orders, $1.5 million combined potential value), Indefinite Delivery Contract AG569RC160006 (8 task orders, $997 thousand combined potential value), and Indefinite Delivery Contract 12444625D0003 (3 task orders, $457 thousand combined potential value). The most recent IDIQ, awarded June 9, 2025, runs through December 31, 2029, with a ceiling of $2,000 and compensation structured as unit price per cubic yard of crushed material plus quality assurance testing and pit development fees.

Activity has remained modest and steady — 2 awards in 2022 and 2023, 2 in 2024, and 3 in 2025 — with only one award (combined potential value $209 thousand) reaching ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months. The vendor's work is classified under NAICS Construction Sand and Gravel Mining across all 23 awards, with PSC coding split between Natural Resources/Conservation–Other (19 awards) and Maintenance of Highways/Roads/Streets/Bridges/Railways (4 awards). Combined dollars obligated stand at $2.9 million, or 42% of combined potential value, reflecting steady invoicing against a small-volume, regional customer base with no subcontract footprint or multi-agency exposure.
