Mecham Brothers

Mecham Brothers, a for-profit Subchapter S corporation based in Roy, Utah, operates as a prime contractor delivering highway and bridge construction, road maintenance, and civil infrastructure services to the U.S. Forest Service and other federal agencies under total small business set-asides and full-and-open awards. The company operates entirely as a prime contractor (100% of recent awards) and competes across both set-aside and unrestricted delivery-order vehicles, with no subcontractor role in the award footprint.

Customer concentration is extreme: the Department of Agriculture Forest Service dominates the portfolio across three organizational units. The Forest Service Research Service Rocky Mountain Research Station anchors the dollar value at $83 million combined potential value across 8 awards, while the Forest Service R4-Intermountain Region drives volume with 69 awards valued at $15.9 million combined potential value. The Occupational Safety and Health Review Commission, Department of the Army, and Forest Service Job Corps account for the remaining awards. The top two Forest Service entities represent 99% of combined potential value and 85% of award count. The dollar concentration is decision-relevant: eight awards with the Rocky Mountain Research Station carry $83 million against the company's $100.1 million total portfolio — a single customer segment representing 83% of potential value.

Mecham Brothers holds a $50 million Indefinite Delivery Contract (MATOC) with the Forest Service Intermountain Region 4 effective through April 2030, awarded May 15, 2025, for road and bridge construction and related services across the region, with individual task orders ranging from $2,000 to $3 million. The company also sits on three older IDCs: AG84M8C150003 (46 task orders, $5.3 million combined potential value), 1284M820D0018 (18 task orders, $8.7 million combined potential value), and 1284M820D0017 (2 task orders, $334 thousand combined potential value). Representative recent awards include a $617.3 thousand firm fixed-price delivery order for haul-and-place aggregate on the Greys River Corridor Phase 3 project under the Region 4 MATOC (Great American Outdoors Act funding, awarded June 15, 2026); a $607.2 thousand delivery order for the Angel Lake Dam Modification project in Wells, Nevada, covering pollution control, construction surveys, water removal, unclassified excavation, and embankment fill (awarded September 18, 2025); a $1.3 million delivery order for construction engineering on the Brown/Booths/Staker Timber Sale Road Improvement project in Price, Utah (awarded September 15, 2023); and a $1.34 million total small business set-aside for the Cemetery Point Stabilization Project at Pineview Reservoir (awarded June 30, 2022, Great American Outdoors Act).

Activity has declined from six awards per year in 2022–2023 to three in 2024 and four in 2025, with only one award in 2026 year-to-date. The recompete cliff is modest: three awards valued at $1.6 million combined potential value reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months. The portfolio spans 117 total awards dating back to 1981, with $21.4 million (21% of combined potential value) currently obligated. Mecham Brothers' capability portfolio is tightly focused on highway, street, and bridge construction (83 awards under NAICS 238110) and heavy civil engineering (3 awards), with primary PSC codes reflecting road and bridge maintenance (47 awards), repair or alteration of highways and bridges (18 awards), and construction of highways and bridges (7 awards). Work is performed throughout the Intermountain Region national forests and grasslands in Utah, Wyoming, and Nevada.
