Hidden Creek Contractors Inc.

Hidden Creek Contractors Inc., a veteran-owned small business based in Bakersville, North Carolina, provides janitorial and grounds maintenance services to the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service as a prime contractor operating exclusively under a single-award blanket purchase agreement (BPA).

The vendor's entire federal footprint (100% of awards and combined potential value) flows through the Department of Agriculture Forest Service Region 8–Southern Region. Hidden Creek holds a $200,000 single-award BPA awarded May 1, 2023, with performance through April 30, 2028, authorizing janitorial and grounds/lawn maintenance services at the Roan Mountain Recreation Area and Poplar Boat Launch Site within the Appalachian Ranger District of the Pisgah National Forest. Place of performance includes Mars Hill, North Carolina and Roan Mountain, Tennessee. Four call orders have been issued under the BPA since May 2023: a $33,390 small-business-set-aside call (May 1, 2023–April 30, 2024), a $7,711.20 small-business-set-aside call (May 1, 2024–April 30, 2025), a $26,885 full-and-open call (May 1, 2025–April 30, 2026), and a $35,494.44 full-and-open call (May 1, 2026–April 30, 2027). Combined potential value across all awards is $440 thousand, with $240 thousand obligated to date. Hidden Creek operates exclusively as a prime contractor; it holds no sub awards. Activity volume is modest and irregular — one award in 2019, then a two-year gap, followed by annual calls since 2023. One award (the $35,494.44 call order) reaches ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and faces recompete risk. The vendor's capability portfolio is narrowly specialized in facility custodial and grounds maintenance services for federal recreation areas, with no diversification across customer agencies or service lines.
