Lap Contracting Inc.

Lap Contracting Inc., doing business as Parker Excavating, operates as a self-certified small disadvantaged woman-owned business based in Payson, Arizona, delivering heavy equipment rentals, mechanics, fuel transportation, and weed washing units to the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service as a prime contractor exclusively across 340 federal awards with combined potential value of $32.9 million.
