Oedekoven Excavating & Construction LLC

Oedekoven Excavating & Construction LLC, operating as Oedekoven Excavating, is a self-certified small disadvantaged business based in Gillette, Wyoming, that performs road and bridge construction, reconstruction, and maintenance on National Forest Service roads as a prime contractor exclusively under total small business set-asides. The company operates as a for-profit limited liability company and competes entirely through the small business reserve — all seven awards in the source carry total small business set-aside designations.

Oedekoven's capability portfolio centers on civil construction work for forest infrastructure: clearing and grubbing, road and bridge reconstruction, culvert replacement and installation, aggregate surface placement, road reconditioning, and asphalt work on national forest roads. Recent representative awards include a $2.557 million delivery order from the Forest Service Rocky Mountain Region for road reconstruction of National Forest Service Roads Burgess (NFSR 15) and Fool Creek (NFSR 168) following the Elk Fire disaster, with performance in Sheridan, Wyoming and completion scheduled for November 10, 2027; a $242,090 definitive contract for Paintrock Road (NFSR 17) clearing, grubbing, reconditioning, aggregate placement, and culvert replacement under the Great American Outdoors Act program, completed in October 2023; and a $138,624 GAOA contract for Hunter Creek Road (NFSR 19) improvement work completed in October 2023.

Customer concentration is absolute: the Department of Agriculture Forest Service Rocky Mountain Region (Region 2) accounts for 100% of both award count and combined potential value across all seven awards totaling $53.8 million. Work is performed in Colorado, Nebraska, South Dakota, Kansas, and Wyoming. The vendor's primary work vehicle is the Forest Service Rocky Mountain Region 2 Road And Bridge Construction Services MATOC, a $50 million multiple-award indefinite delivery contract awarded July 14, 2025, running through July 13, 2030, under which Oedekoven holds a position. That MATOC generated one task order valued at $2.6 million (the Elk Fire delivery order), which reaches completion in the next twenty-four months and faces recompete. Oedekoven operates as a pure prime contractor with no subcontractor footprint — it performs work with its own internal resources. SCI records show minimal service-contract reporting; the available data covers only $264 thousand in FY2022 invoicing and reflects contract-level FTE data with no hourly labor breakdown.
