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 federal government as a prime contractor exclusively, with a concentrated footprint in road, bridge, culvert, and facility work for the USDA Forest Service. The vendor operates 100% as a prime across 86 awards and competes under both total small business set-asides and full-and-open categories.

M Jolma specializes in concrete infrastructure delivery — road reconstruction and maintenance, bridge and culvert replacement, site demolition and decommissioning, trail improvements, and facility repairs across national forests and public lands. Representative recent work includes a $1.44 million total small business set-aside definitive contract for recreation site improvements (trail realignments, road and campground upgrades, culvert installations) across five locations in the Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest, awarded June 2023; an $845 thousand delivery order under the Chequamegon/Nicolet Construction IDIQ for Forest Road 238 reconstruction to support timber hauling, awarded August 2024; a $191 thousand delivery order for critical boat launch repairs at Chequamegon-Nicolet, awarded June 2025; and a $171 thousand delivery order for complete demolition and site restoration of dilapidated buildings at two acquired properties on the Great Divide District, awarded June 2026. Recent awards also include smaller maintenance and repair orders ranging from roughly $5 thousand to $150 thousand for work such as septic system replacement, washout and erosion protection, and well decommissioning.

Customer concentration is extreme: the USDA Forest Service Eastern Region (Region 9) accounts for 84 of 86 awards, or 97% of the portfolio, with $41 million in combined potential value. The Department of Transportation Federal Highway Administration holds two awards worth $5.1 million combined potential value, representing the only other federal customer. The vendor holds five primary parent IDIQ and IDV vehicles with Region 9, all single-award: the Chequamegon/Nicolet Construction Indefinite Delivery Contract (valued at $7.001 million through August 2028, 15 task orders, $3 million combined potential value); Indefinite Delivery Contract AG569RC140049 ($960 thousand combined value across 11 task orders); Indefinite Delivery Contract 1256A120D0004 ($3.2 million combined value across 9 task orders); plus two additional BPAs awarded in late 2024 (R9 ROADS BPA and R9 FACILITIES BPA, each with a $250 thousand ceiling through February 2032). The five task-order vehicles carry roughly $8.9 million in combined potential value.

Award activity has declined sharply in recent years — from four awards in 2022 to seven in 2024 and only two in 2025 and 2026 to date. The recompete cliff is minimal: only three awards (combined potential value $402 thousand) reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months. SCI-reportable federal service invoicing totaled $1.4 million across FY2022–FY2024, with $750 thousand in FY2022 and $637 thousand in FY2023; no FY2024 invoicing was captured in the SCI dataset. The SCI footprint shows minimal subcontractor engagement (0% sub-hours share) and government-paid hourly rates ranging from $284.70 to $1,306.15 per hour (median $655.72), reflecting the mix of labor-and-equipment-intensive field operations and skilled trades work. M Jolma does not operate as a subcontractor and maintains no named teaming relationships in the source material.
