K & K Dirtworks, Inc.

K & K Dirtworks, Inc., a woman-owned small business based in Evanston, Indiana, operates as a prime contractor delivering road maintenance, facilities construction, trail work, and land management services to the U.S. Department of Agriculture across the Eastern Region, competing predominantly under total small business set-asides and full-and-open procurements on regional IDIQs and BPAs.

K & K Dirtworks holds SBA certifications as a woman-owned small business and is DOT-certified as a disadvantaged business enterprise. The company's capability portfolio centers on highway and heavy civil construction work grounded in ground-level operations across national forests and recreation areas: road grading, reshaping, ditch cleaning, aggregate placement, road scarification, vegetation control, bridge maintenance, dam repairs, facilities construction, trail work, and wetland restoration. Representative work includes a $71,233.50 full-and-open purchase order from the Forest Service for road maintenance on approximately four miles of roadway in the Hoosier National Forest Brownstown Ranger District (awarded September 2024, completed November 2024); a $183,475 total small business set-aside BPA call for replacement of a shower-toilet building at Hardin Ridge Recreation Area in the Hoosier National Forest (awarded October 2023, completed May 2024); a $79,043.17 total small business set-aside purchase order from the Department of Agriculture's Natural Resources Conservation Service for wetland restoration and habitat enhancement in McLean County, Kentucky (awarded September 2024); and a $47,642.40 full-and-open BPA call for soil slump repair on the upstream face of Indian Lake Dam under the Northeast Zone Region 9 Roads BPA (awarded April 2025).

Customer concentration is extreme and intentional: the Department of Agriculture Forest Service Region 9 (Eastern Region) accounts for 115 of 131 total prime awards (88% of activity) and $4.9 million of the $5.1 million combined potential value (96% of dollars). The remaining three agencies — the Natural Resources Conservation Service Southeast Region, the Department of the Interior National Park Service Midwest Region, and the Army Corps of Engineers Louisville District — represent one award each and collectively add less than one percent to dollar value. K & K Dirtworks has served four distinct federal customer agencies but operates almost entirely within the Forest Service's eastern footprint.

K & K Dirtworks holds four active BPA vehicles with the Forest Service Region 9, each valued at $250,000: the Northeast Zone Region 9 Roads BPA (32 task orders, $574 thousand combined potential value, ultimate completion March 2032); a facilities construction BPA (completion February 2032); a trails construction BPA (completion February 2032); and a mowing, debris clearing, and access road maintenance IDIQ for dam sites in the Tell City Ranger District (5-year base plus four option years, completion April 2032). Two legacy IDIQs — AG52B1C090002 and 1252B120D0003 — account for 16 and 14 task orders respectively across the prior ten years but are largely inactive in the current period.

Activity has declined sharply: seven awards in 2022, eight in 2023, then two in 2024, three in 2025, and two in 2027. Combined obligated dollars total $2 million against $5.1 million combined potential value (39% obligation rate), indicating a backlog of unutilized BPA ceiling. Only one award carries an ultimate completion date within the next twenty-four months ($22 thousand in potential value), creating minimal near-term recompete exposure. K & K Dirtworks does not hold subcontracting positions; 100% of its award footprint is prime work. The vendor's work is geographically anchored to Indiana and Kentucky national forest and conservation service sites, with administrative oversight typically at Hoosier National Forest or regional Forest Service offices, reflecting operational concentration in the Eastern Region's recreation and infrastructure management mission.
