JR Carlon Corp

JR Carlon Corp, a self-certified small disadvantaged business and Department of Transportation-certified Disadvantaged Business Enterprise based in Paisley, Oregon, provides road and bridge construction, maintenance, and emergency repair services to the U.S. Forest Service as a prime contractor (95% of recent awards), with specialized capabilities in culvert replacement, aggregate crushing, fire suppression repairs, and infrastructure services funded through the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act and the Great American Outdoors Act.

JR Carlon Corp competes predominantly under total small business set-asides across its federal footprint. The vendor's customer base is entirely concentrated within the Department of Agriculture Forest Service: Region 6 (Pacific Northwest Region) accounts for 21 awards and $44.1 million in combined potential value, while Region 4 (Intermountain Region) represents one award valued at $1.8 million. This extreme concentration reflects the vendor's geographic and operational focus on Pacific Northwest and Intermountain national forests.

The vendor holds three significant indefinite-delivery vehicles anchoring its prime work. The largest is a $25 million single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract (IDC 1240BH24D0031, awarded August 26, 2024, through April 30, 2028) for western Oregon road construction and reconstruction services, with five recent task orders totaling $1.8 million of combined potential value—including a $798,552.56 delivery order for 2024 Sandstone Fire road damage repair (awarded June 15, 2025), a $458,908 delivery order for track TS opted road reconstruction (awarded September 19, 2025), and a $435,070.19 delivery order for Aufderheide West Cascade National Scenic Byway Phase 3 repairs under the Great American Outdoors Act (awarded October 15, 2024). The vendor also holds a $5 million single-award Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA 1204N020A0090, awarded May 1, 2024, through February 24, 2026) for road maintenance services, from which the Forest Service has issued four task orders totaling $585 thousand, and a $499,999 single-award BPA (1240BH23A0010, awarded January 19, 2023, through January 23, 2030) for region 6 road and bridge construction with three task orders valued at $459 thousand.

Recent representative awards demonstrate the vendor's capability depth. A $2.853 million BPA call for MF 25-5 Willamette Complex Suppression Repair (awarded May 15, 2025, under a total small business set-aside) was subsequently de-obligated due to a contractor pricing error; a $1.847 million definitive contract for IIJA CIP Lost Valley Road Resurfacing on the Payette National Forest (awarded October 1, 2023, no set-aside) involved road reconditioning, culvert replacement, and aggregate placement; a $647,346 total small business award for rock crushing services at the Burpee Pit on Nez Perce-Clearwater National Forests (awarded October 16, 2023) supported the agency's Priority Landscape program; and a $180,075 BPA call for Mt. Hood National Forest gate repairs and installations (awarded September 30, 2024, total small business set-aside) represents ancillary infrastructure work.

Activity peaked in 2023 and 2024 (six awards per year) and has moderated to two awards in 2026 to date. Three awards with ultimate completion dates in the next twenty-four months carry combined potential value of $1.3 million and face recompete risk. The vendor's subcontract footprint is minimal—a single sub-award dated July 19, 2022, as a subcontractor to RJS Construction, Inc., for earth moving work on the Lava Lands Visitor Center parking lot improvements. Obligated dollars across the entire portfolio total $5.5 million (12% of combined potential value), indicating substantial unobligated headroom on active IDVs and BPAs. Highway, Street, and Bridge Construction (NAICS) and road maintenance and repair codes (PSCs 4239, 4240, 4245) account for all categorized work.
