Metco Alaska LLC

Metco Alaska LLC, a for-profit limited liability company based in Seward, Alaska, delivers snowplowing and sanding services to federal land management agencies as a prime contractor exclusively, operating predominantly under small business set-asides and full-and-open procurements on single-award indefinite delivery contracts for winter maintenance of recreational facilities and Forest Service infrastructure.

Metco is a small business with no named SBA certifications beyond small business qualification. The vendor's capability portfolio centers on winter maintenance and rapid-response snowplowing and sanding operations in Alaska, with service requirements typically triggered when snowfall exceeds four inches and response times of 1–1.5 hours. Concrete named work includes a $7,221 delivery order (June 2026) for Lost Lake Trailhead snowplowing under option period 2 of a Forest Service single-award IDIQ, a $12,434 delivery order (September 2025) for the same location under option period 1, and a $15,000 delivery order (October 2021) for Lost Lake snowplowing and sanding under a Chugach Acquisition Plan, all with the Department of Agriculture Forest Service Alaska Region.

Customer concentration is narrow and regionally focused. The Department of Agriculture Forest Service R10-Alaska Region accounts for 11 of 13 awards and $288 thousand of the $321 thousand combined potential value (90% of the portfolio). The Department of the Interior National Park Service Alaska Region and the Department of Agriculture Forest Service (non-regional line) account for one award each, representing $24 thousand and $9 thousand respectively. Work is performed exclusively in Seward, Alaska and the Chugach National Forest.

Metco holds positions on two single-award indefinite delivery contracts with the Forest Service. The active vehicle, Indefinite Delivery Contract 1240BF24D0013, carries a $68,512.80 ceiling with a total small business set-aside designation, runs through May 31, 2027 with a base period and four 12-month option periods, and carries three task orders for $22 thousand combined potential value. An earlier contract, Indefinite Delivery Contract 12010920D0004, generated five task orders valued at $49 thousand combined potential value and has completed. Activity is infrequent — one award in 2022, one in 2023, two in 2024, one in 2025, and one in 2026 — with only one award ($7 thousand) facing completion in the next twenty-four months. Metco holds no subcontract footprint; all thirteen awards are prime contracts. The vendor has established continuity with the Forest Service since at least October 2021, executing delivery orders annually under evolving IDIQ arrangements for the same location, Lost Lake Trailhead.
