M Jolma Inc.

M Jolma Inc., a for-profit Subchapter S Corporation based in Ashland, Wisconsin, provides infrastructure construction, maintenance, and repair services to the USDA Forest Service exclusively as a prime contractor, with 97% customer concentration in Forest Service Region 9 (Eastern Region). The vendor operates across 89 recent awards with combined potential value of $46.4 million, all under full-and-open (non-set-aside) competition at the prime level, though a portion of its work flows through total small business set-aside task orders.

M Jolma's capability portfolio centers on road reconstruction and maintenance, bridge and culvert replacement, trail work, facility repairs and decommissioning, and site restoration across national forests in Wisconsin, Michigan, and Minnesota. Representative work includes a $1.44 million total small business set-aside definitive contract for the Chequamegon/Nicolet National Forest Mount Valhalla recreation site improvements (awarded June 2023, completion July 2025), an $845 thousand delivery order for Forest Road 238 reconstruction to support timber hauling (August 2024), a $263 thousand total small business set-aside BPA call for dual-use trail reconstruction addressing drainage issues in Park Falls, Wisconsin (August 2026), and a $191 thousand total small business set-aside delivery order for critical boat launch repairs at Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest (June 2025).

Customer concentration is extreme: 86 awards valued at $41.3 million flow from the Department of Agriculture Forest Service Region 9 (Eastern Region), with two awards from the Department of Transportation Federal Highway Administration ($5.1 million combined) and one from the Forest Service Research Service Northern Research Station ($28 thousand). The two award-count and potential-value rankings are identical — no tension between volume and dollar concentration.

M Jolma holds five primary indefinite delivery contracts with Region 9, the largest being AG569RC170033 (15 task orders, $3 million combined potential value), AG569RC140049 (11 task orders, $960 thousand), and 1256A120D0004 (9 task orders, $3.2 million). Two newly awarded single-award BPAs (both November-December 2024, each $250 thousand ceiling through February 2032) — designated R9 ROADS BPA and R9 FACILITIES BPA — provide additional capacity for maintenance, construction, and repair work. The Chequamegon/Nicolet Construction IDIQ, valued at $7.001 million through August 2028, anchors the vendor's road and general construction work in the region.

Activity volume shows modest decline: four awards in 2022 and 2023, rising to seven in 2024, falling to two in 2025, and five awards recorded through September 2026. Only four awards (combined potential value $550 thousand) face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, presenting minimal near-term recompete exposure. The vendor operates exclusively as a prime contractor; SCI-reportable service contract data (FY2022–FY2023) shows $1.4 million in invoiced federal services revenue across roughly 0.8 FTEs averaged, with government-paid hourly rates spanning from $285/hr at the 10th percentile to $1,306/hr at the 90th percentile, reflecting a mix of skilled labor and project management roles. Sub-engagement across SCI prime contracts is zero — M Jolma performs its own work rather than layering subcontractors.
