Mccalls Grading & Construction Inc.

Mccalls Grading & Construction Inc., a self-certified small disadvantaged business and woman-owned small business based in Balsam Grove, North Carolina, provides road maintenance, construction, and emergency infrastructure repair services to the USDA Forest Service as a prime contractor exclusively through total small business set-asides and full-and-open competitions. The company operates 100% as a prime contractor with no subcontract engagements and holds four active indefinite delivery vehicles (IDVs) and blanket purchase agreements (BPAs) with the Forest Service Southern Region valued at a combined ceiling of $75.999 million through 2029.

Mccalls' customer base is highly concentrated with a single agency: the Department of Agriculture Forest Service R8-Southern Region accounts for 78 of the company's 122 awards and $94.8 million of its $110.9 million combined potential value (86% and 85% respectively). The remaining customer agencies—including the Forest Service's Research Service Southern Research Station, national Job Corps, and Washington Office Acquisitions—account for less than 4% of awards by count and dollar value. This concentration is decision-relevant: Mccalls operates as a regional specialist for Forest Service infrastructure rather than a diversified federal contractor.

The vendor's capability portfolio centers on National Forest System road maintenance, repair, and construction across North and South Carolina. Representative recent awards include a $3.062 million delivery order for repairs to National Forest System Roads 475 and 471 damaged by Tropical Storm Fred (September 2026), a $3.441 million delivery order for roadway and ditch repair, aggregate placement, and culvert replacement on the Grandfather and Pisgah Ranger Districts (August 2026), and a $2.073 million delivery order for Yellow Gap Road repairs following Hurricane Helene damage (July 2026). Work encompasses road reconditioning, culvert cleaning and replacement, aggregate supply and placement, roadway excavation and realignment, ditch and drainage maintenance, erosion control, bridge construction and repair, and emergency storm recovery. The top NAICS category is Highway, Street, and Bridge Construction (95 of 122 awards); the dominant PSC codes are Maintenance of Highways/Roads/Streets/Bridges/Railways (41 awards) and Repair or Alteration of Highways/Roads/Streets/Bridges/Railways (17 awards).

Mccalls holds four primary vehicles: a $49.999 million single-award total small business set-aside North Carolina MATOC Road Maintenance indefinite delivery contract running through October 2029 (17 task orders, $17.5 million combined potential value); a $10 million single-award total small business set-aside indefinite delivery contract for Francis Marion and Sumter National Forests road maintenance in South Carolina through July 2029; a $7 million single-award Croatan Ranger District aggregate supply BPA (no set-aside used) through June 2029; and a $9 million single-award total small business set-aside Andrew Pickens Ranger District road maintenance contract through May 2027. The North Carolina MATOC vehicle dominates recent task order activity and dollar capture, reflecting Mccalls' core positioning on that infrastructure program.

Activity has been volatile year-to-year but remains substantial: six awards in 2022, four in 2023, 14 in 2024, six in 2025, and 11 through October 2026. Nine awards with combined potential value of $11.5 million face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, representing recompete exposure for the vendor. The source notes that Mccalls holds no subcontractors and operates exclusively within Forest Service Region 8, with no presence on federal GWACs, agency-wide multiple-award IDIQs, or GSA Schedules. Combined dollars obligated across all awards total $28.5 million (26% of combined potential value), indicating the majority of ceiling remains unexercised or pending invoicing.
