Herback General Engineering LLC

Herback General Engineering LLC, a Nevada-based small business limited liability company, provides highway, bridge, and road construction and maintenance services to federal agencies as a prime contractor, competing predominantly under total small business set-asides on western federal lands. The contractor operates out of Minden, Nevada, and specializes in federal infrastructure work under NAICS 237310 (Highway, Street, and Bridge Construction), with a focused geographic footprint across California, Nevada, and Arizona national forests and parks.

Herback's customer base concentrates heavily on transportation and land-management agencies. The Department of Transportation Federal Highway Administration dominates the portfolio, accounting for 19 awards totaling $435.2 million in combined potential value—roughly 73% of all dollars. The Department of Agriculture Forest Service, split across three regional offices, holds the second and third positions by volume: the Pacific Southwest Region (6 awards, $92.5 million) and the Southwestern Region (17 awards, $56.2 million) collectively represent 23 awards, but the Southwestern Region's awards are smaller in individual magnitude. The National Park Service Pacific West Region and the Intermountain Region round out the active set. The top three customers account for 90% of recent awards and 99% of combined potential value, indicating substantial concentration.

Herback holds four parent vehicle positions that anchor most of its current and future work. A new $250 million multiple-award Expedited California Road & Bridge Construction MATOC awarded by the Federal Highway Administration on January 20, 2026, through 2031, positions the contractor for expedited task orders ranging from $1 million to $25 million across federal transportation infrastructure in and near California. An older $60 million California Road Construction MATOC, extended through December 2028, has generated three recent task orders totaling $9.9 million. Two single-award Blanket Purchase Agreements with the Forest Service Region 5 ($50 million through March 2033) and Region 3 ($50 million through February 2033) provide underlying vehicles for task orders across California and Arizona national forests. Representative recent deliveries include a $34.8 million Reds Meadow Road construction contract (Federal Highway Administration, awarded January 2023), a $7.84 million Nacimiento-Fergusson Road repair contract for Los Padres National Forest (Federal Highway Administration, June 2023, now closed out), and a $4.26 million El Capitan Bridge repair delivery order at Yosemite National Park (Federal Highway Administration, August 2025).

Herback's activity has been episodic rather than linearly growing—two awards in 2022, six in 2023, two in 2024, two in 2025, and two year-to-date in 2026—reflecting the lumpiness of large infrastructure projects rather than sustained ramp-up. Combined potential value across all 51 awards reaches $593.1 million, though only $137 million (23%) has been obligated to date, indicating substantial ceiling capacity. Only three awards face ultimate completion in the next twenty-four months (combined potential value $3.3 million), creating minimal recompete exposure in that window, though the January 2026 $250 million MATOC award and the twin $50 million Forest Service BPAs extend runway through 2028 and beyond. The contractor carries no subcontract footprint; all awards are prime positions. The capability portfolio spans embankment stabilization, retaining walls, culvert installation, roadway resurfacing, bridge repair, drainage systems, trail rehabilitation, and ancillary environmental mitigation—all anchored to western federal lands.

Herback General Engineering includes a diverse portfolio of projects that include Federal, State, local Public Works and private civil construction contracts throughout the western states.
