Midstate Equipment Inc.

Midstate Equipment Inc., a self-certified small disadvantaged business based in North Pole, Alaska, rents heavy construction and earth-moving equipment with operators to federal agencies as a prime contractor (97% of recent awards), with focused work in Alaska flood control, military base operations, and park maintenance projects. The company is a for-profit Subchapter S corporation competing predominantly under total small business set-asides.

Midstate's capability portfolio centers on equipment rental and operator services grounded in heavy machinery. The top NAICS categories reflect the core business: Construction, Mining, and Forestry Machinery and Equipment Rental and Leasing (38 awards) and Other Commercial and Industrial Machinery and Equipment Rental and Leasing (21 awards), with PSC concentration in Lease or Rental of Equipment — Construction, Mining, Excavating, and Highway Maintenance Equipment (31 awards) and Earth Moving and Excavating Equipment (10 awards). Representative prime work includes a $240 thousand firm fixed-price purchase order from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Alaska District awarded February 19, 2026, for annual construction support, debris removal, grading, brush and tree clearing across the 20,000-acre Chena River Lakes Flood Control Project through February 18, 2029; a $240 thousand purchase order from the Army Corps of Engineers dated July 29, 2022, for heavy equipment rental with operators under a base year plus two option-year structure; and a $76 thousand grader rental for Pacific Air Forces at Eielson Air Force Base awarded January 7, 2022.

Customer concentration sits with Alaska-based federal operations. The Department of the Air Force Defense Finance and Accounting Service leads by award count (35 awards, $1.9 million combined potential value) and potential value, followed by Pacific Air Forces (30 awards, $1.2 million), the Department of the Interior National Park Service Alaska Region (7 awards, $728 thousand), and the Army Corps of Engineers Engineering District Alaska (5 awards, $559 thousand). These five customers account for 95% of awards and 99% of combined potential value. Midstate has worked with seven distinct customer agencies total.

The vendor's award activity is sparse and episodic: one award in 2019, one in 2021, three in 2022, one in 2025, and one in 2026, reflecting the project-driven and seasonal nature of equipment rental in Alaska. Combined potential value across all 93 awards stands at $5 million, though combined obligated dollars total $7.6 million. Midstate operates almost exclusively as a prime (97% of awards); it named two subcontractors in the source — Red Point Construction LLC for asphalt paving and fire hydrant civil work (June 7, 2022), and TDX International LLC for Alaska Range Combat Training Integrated Communications and Support (ARCTICS) labor and equipment in support of power cable burial (September 16, 2025). The vendor does not appear in the Service Contract Inventory dataset, indicating its federal work is goods and equipment rental rather than billed labor services above the $150 thousand threshold.
