Ketchikan Ready-Mix & Quarry, Inc.

Ketchikan Ready-Mix & Quarry, Inc., doing business as Hal's Equipment & Supplies, is a HUBZone-certified small business based in Ketchikan, Alaska, that delivers highway and bridge construction, road maintenance, and site infrastructure work to the Department of Agriculture Forest Service as a prime contractor under total small business set-asides. The company operates exclusively as a prime (100% of awards) with no subcontractor engagement, holding a $25 million IDIQ for Alaska road construction and maintenance through December 2027 and executing delivery orders and blanket purchase agreement calls across Forest Service Region 10 and subordinate organizational units.

Customer concentration is extreme and immobile: the Department of Agriculture Forest Service R10-Alaska Region represents 136 awards (71% of the award count) with $64.9 million in combined potential value (78% of the vendor's total $83.7 million potential value). The remaining portfolio scatters across other Forest Service offices, the US Coast Guard, and the Occupational Safety and Health Review Commission with minimal dollar magnitude. Three representative delivery orders illustrate the work: a $3.999 million firm fixed price delivery order awarded September 1, 2026, for shelter cover road system and area-of-operations improvements in Ketchikan with completion by October 31, 2028; a $930,700 September 2025 order for demolition and reconstruction of a viewing platform and elevated boardwalk; and a $480,400 September 2024 order for roadway reconditioning, culvert installation, and resurfacing on Shelter Road. The vendor also holds multiple smaller purchase orders and BPA calls ($8,250 to $527,000 range) for road grading, brushing, drainage, and maintenance work across the Ketchikan and Prince of Wales ranger districts and broader Tongass National Forest infrastructure.

The vendor's award trajectory has contracted sharply: nine awards in 2022, two in 2023, and one each in 2024, 2025, and 2026 respectively. Only one award with an ultimate completion date falls within the next twenty-four months (combined potential value $931 thousand), representing minimal recompete exposure in the immediate window. The top parent vehicles are older indefinite delivery contracts and blanket purchase agreements (Indefinite Delivery Contract AG0116C090013 with twelve task orders totaling $641 thousand; AG0116C070020 with eight task orders totaling $563 thousand; Blanket Purchase Agreement 1240BH21A0002 with seven task orders totaling $717 thousand) that carry modest individual task order values. Work is performed in Ketchikan, Wrangell, Hoonah, and Prince of Wales Island in Alaska. The vendor's capability portfolio aligns with NAICS 237310 (Highway, Street, and Bridge Construction) and PSC Z-series maintenance and construction codes, with over twenty years of experience supporting Forest Service infrastructure on public lands across Alaska. SCI-reportable service contract activity shows $3.3 million invoiced across FY2022–FY2023 with roughly 1.7 FTEs per fiscal year; no SCI-reportable service contracts appear in FY2024 or FY2025, reflecting a portfolio shift toward goods and construction delivery orders below or outside the $150,000 SCI reporting threshold. Government-paid hourly rates on the limited SCI records ranged from $370.50/hr to $797.01/hr median, with senior labor priced to $797.01/hr; the vendor uses no named subcontractors on SCI-reportable primes.
