JR Carlon Corp

JR Carlon Corp, a self-certified small disadvantaged business and Department of Transportation-certified Disadvantaged Business Enterprise headquartered in Paisley, Oregon, delivers road and bridge construction, reconstruction, maintenance, and emergency repair services to the U.S. Forest Service as a prime contractor (96% of recent awards), operating nearly exclusively under total small business set-asides. The firm is a Subchapter S Corporation competing predominantly within Forest Service Region 6 (Pacific Northwest Region) and Region 4 (Intermountain Region) national forests across Oregon and Idaho.

JR Carlon Corp's customer base is heavily concentrated in a single agency. The Department of Agriculture Forest Service accounts for 100% of awards, split between Region 6 (24 awards, $46.5 million combined potential value) and Region 4 (1 award, $1.8 million). This single-customer posture reflects the vendor's operational footprint in Pacific Northwest national forests — work centers on timber sale specified roads, quarry drilling and crushing, culvert replacement, emergency fire damage repair, aggregate services, and pothole patching across Fremont-Winema, Mt. Hood, Deschutes, Payette, and Willamette National Forests. Representative prime work includes a $1.097 million May 2027 delivery order from Region 6 for timber sale specified roads in Sweet Home, Oregon; an $798.552 thousand June 2025 delivery order for road damage repair from the 2024 Sandstone Fire; a $708.125 thousand August 2026 delivery order for Santiam River rock crushing; and a $1.847 million October 2023 definitive contract from Region 4 for Lost Valley Road resurfacing under the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act Capital Improvement Program.

JR Carlon Corp holds three significant indefinite delivery vehicles with the Forest Service. The primary vehicle is a $25 million single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract (1240BH24D0031) awarded August 26, 2024, through April 30, 2028, covering western Oregon road construction and reconstruction services across multiple national forests and the Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area; eight task orders totaling $4.2 million in combined potential value have been issued against this contract. Two single-award Blanket Purchase Agreements support road maintenance and emergency bridge construction: a $5 million BPA (1204N020A0090) awarded May 1, 2024, through February 24, 2026, with four calls totaling $585 thousand, and a $499.999 thousand BPA (1240BH23A0010) awarded January 19, 2023, through January 23, 2030, with three calls totaling $459 thousand. Together, these vehicles anchor the vendor's delivery mechanism within the Forest Service's Pacific Northwest and Intermountain operations.

Activity has remained steady at three to six awards per year over the past five years, with a recent uptick in 2024 (six awards) followed by a slower 2025–2027 pace. Three awards with combined potential value of $1.7 million reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, creating modest recompete exposure. The vendor holds a single subcontract as a sub to RJS Construction on a 2022 Lava Lands Visitor Center parking lot earthmoving project. JR Carlon Corp's capability portfolio is concentrated in highway, street, and bridge construction (NAICS 237310, all 25 awards), with secondary demand in natural resources conservation and mining equipment services. The firm's work is performed across multiple Pacific Northwest and Intermountain national forests, with administrative oversight centered at Forest Service Regions 6 and 4.
