Mecham Brothers

Mecham Brothers, a for-profit Subchapter S corporation based in Roy, Utah, operates as a prime contractor delivering highway, bridge, and civil infrastructure construction services to federal land-management agencies, competing entirely under total small business set-asides on its primary vehicle and mixed (set-aside and full-and-open) across its broader footprint. The vendor holds a $50 million multiple-award MATOC with the U.S. Forest Service Region 4 through April 2030 and competes as a prime on 100% of its recent awards with no subcontractor role.

Mecham Brothers' capability portfolio centers on native surface, gravel, and paved road construction and repair; bridge replacement and repair; culvert and aquatic passage structure installation; road decommissioning; dam compliance and modification work; and facility maintenance on national forests and grasslands. Representative work includes a $878,835 delivery order from the Forest Service Rocky Mountain Research Station (September 2026) for roadway construction and rerouting in Evanston, Wyoming; a $1.344 million Great American Outdoors Act project (June 2022) for Cemetery Point Stabilization at Pineview Reservoir in the Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest; and a $1.3 million construction-engineering delivery order (September 2023) for the Brown/Booths/Staker Timber Sale Road Improvement project near Price, Utah.

Customer concentration is heavily skewed toward Forest Service organizational units. The top five funding agencies account for 86% of awards by count and 99% of combined potential value. The Department of Agriculture Forest Service Research Service Rocky Mountain Research Station leads by dollars ($84.1 million across 10 awards), while the Department of Agriculture Forest Service R4-Intermountain Region dominates by volume (73 awards, $17.4 million combined potential value). The divergence reflects the recent award of the $50 million MATOC with Rocky Mountain Research Station in May 2025, which anchors the dollar ranking despite lower award count relative to R4-Intermountain Region's ongoing task-order flow. The Occupational Safety and Health Review Commission appears in the top-five count (12 awards) with no stated dollar value, likely representing low-dollar or administrative awards.

The primary vehicle is the Forest Service Intermountain Region 4 Road and Bridge Construction Services MATOC (8 task orders, $3.5 million combined potential value as listed in the top vehicles, and substantially more under the May 2025 $50 million recompeted vehicle). Older IDIQs with heritage designations (Indefinite Delivery Contract AG84M8C150003 with 46 task orders at $5.3 million, and 1284M820D0017 and 1284M820D0018 with 18 and 2 task orders respectively) represent prior-year vehicles no longer receiving new awards; the current MATOC is the dominant forward-focused vehicle. Individual task orders under the current MATOC range from $2,000 to $3 million, with recent orders spanning dust abatement, chip seal and fog seal work, bridge replacements, and campground decommissioning.

Activity has declined from six awards annually in 2022 and 2023 to three in 2024, recovering modestly to four in 2025 and seven in 2026. The recompete cliff shows minimal near-term pressure: only six awards ($2.6 million combined potential value) complete within the next twenty-four months, a small share of the $102.6 million combined potential across all awards. The May 2025 MATOC recompete itself has been awarded; the vendor's primary recompete exposure lies with renewal of that vehicle in April 2030.

Service Contract Inventory captures limited activity: Mecham Brothers reported $4.9 million in SCI-invoiced revenue across FY2022–FY2024 ($1.6 million in FY2022, $1.6 million in FY2023, and $1.7 million in FY2024), with FTE delivery ranging from 0.2 FTEs in FY2022 to 2.7 FTEs in FY2024 and zero recorded FTEs in FY2025. These figures represent only the subset of federal service contracts above the $150,000 threshold and exclude the majority of Mecham Brothers' construction work, which is procured under firm fixed-price delivery orders for goods and infrastructure rather than time-and-materials services. Government-paid hourly rates on SCI-reportable prime contracts ranged from a 10th percentile of $158.29/hr to a median of $515.01/hr, with outlier 90th-percentile rates around $17,561.82/hr reflecting high-value technical or engineering labor. The vendor reported an average 22% subcontractor-hours share across SCI-reportable prime contracts, with seven named subcontractors in the SCI dataset, though the broader award portfolio shows 100% prime-contractor posture with no named subcontractor relationships in the federal contract listings.

Mecham Brothers has operated as a federal contractor since at least 2002, with continuous delivery-order activity under Forest Service vehicles covering the Intermountain Region (Utah, Wyoming, Nevada, and Idaho). The company's footprint is tightly concentrated on Forest Service Region 4 infrastructure work, particularly road and bridge construction funded through appropriations and the Great American Outdoors Act, with minimal diversification across agencies or mission areas.
