Highway Specialties, Inc.

Highway Specialties, Inc., a woman-owned small business based in Black Eagle, Montana, delivers pavement paint marking and infrastructure maintenance services to the U.S. Air Force as a prime contractor under total small business set-asides. The company operates exclusively as a prime (100% of recent awards) and competes under small business set-asides across its footprint.

Highway Specialties' federal footprint is heavily concentrated with the Department of the Air Force, which accounts for 93% of recent awards by count and 98% of combined potential value. The single dominant contract vehicle is a $2.999999 million single-award indefinite-delivery contract (FA462624D0008) awarded by Air Force Space Command on June 6, 2024, with a total small business set-aside designation and a seven-year ordering period extending through June 5, 2031. Under this IDC, Air Force Global Strike Command has issued eight delivery orders between June 2024 and May 2026, valued individually from $3,876 to $172,017.20, with cumulative delivery order value exceeding $347,000. Representative task orders include a $172,017.20 firm fixed-price delivery order awarded June 9, 2025, for pavement marking services at Malmstrom Air Force Base (completion August 8, 2025), a $115,233.13 delivery order awarded May 15, 2026 (completion July 14, 2026), and a $119,340 delivery order awarded June 17, 2024. All work is performed at Malmstrom Air Force Base, Montana, and encompasses application of new paint markings, removal and renewal of existing markings, and maintenance of pavement infrastructure across airfields, roadways, driveways, and parking lots. The company's primary NAICS classification is 237310 (Highway, Street, and Bridge Construction), which governs eleven of the fourteen awards in source.

The company has served five federal customer agencies total, with secondary smaller awards from the Air National Guard ($20 thousand), the Department of the Interior National Park Service (amount not specified), and the Department of Agriculture Forest Service R6-Pacific Northwest Region ($3 thousand). Activity was sparse until 2024 — one award in 2021, then four awards in 2024 and four in 2025 — yielding fourteen total awards with a combined potential value of $3.7 million, of which $681 thousand has been obligated (19% of ceiling). Highway Specialties has been registered to receive federal awards since August 2005.
