Orange Springs Construction, Inc.

Orange Springs Construction, Inc., a veteran-owned small disadvantaged business based in Fort McCoy, Florida, delivers forestry management, road maintenance, and mechanical site preparation services to the federal government as a prime contractor (100% of recent awards) across construction, infrastructure maintenance, and wildland fire suppression operations. The firm is a self-certified small disadvantaged business and Subchapter S corporation that competes predominantly under total small business set-asides.

Orange Springs' customer base is highly concentrated with the USDA Forest Service. The top five customer agencies account for 89% of recent awards by count and 94% by potential value, with the USDA Forest Service Region 8 - Southern Region dominating at 131 awards worth $36.7 million combined potential value. The National Interagency Fire Center (NIFC), acting as contracting entity for the USDA Forest Service, has placed seven awards worth $1.8 million for heavy equipment and water handling services in Regions 3 and 8. The Federal Emergency Management Agency Region 4 has issued five awards worth $3.2 million. This customer concentration reflects Orange Springs' established regional footprint in Southeast national forest operations.

Orange Springs holds multiple indefinite delivery contracts across the USDA Forest Service and NIFC. The top parent vehicle, IDC AG4283C130001, carries 40 task orders worth $5.7 million in combined potential value, followed by IDC 12428318D0002 with 25 task orders worth $2.8 million. These vehicles support road maintenance, mechanical site preparation (drum and roller chopping), mowing, and vegetation treatment across Florida national forests. A single-award $5 million IDV with the USDA Forest Service Southern Region procures road maintenance and minor construction services across Apalachicola, Ocala, and Osceola National Forests; Orange Springs has drawn roughly $350,000 against its $5 million ceiling. A $10 million BPA (Florida Reforestation/NNIS BPA, ultimate completion August 31, 2027) with the USDA Forest Service Southern Region supports mechanical site preparation, vegetation treatment, and infrastructure maintenance for reforestation and non-native invasive species control across Florida national forests. Recent NIFC awards include two $250,000 multiple-award IDCs (water handling for Regions 3 and 8, and miscellaneous heavy equipment for Regions 3 and 8) both effective through 2028–2030 and designated as total small business set-asides.

Capability work spans mechanical site preparation using beta roller chopping and double drum chopping (3,064 acres on Ocala National Forest for $615,078, August 2024), road maintenance blading and pothole repair (roadwork in Silver Springs and Ocala National Forest at values ranging $30,000 to $198,000 per task), vegetation treatment and mowing (1,075 acres of palmetto reduction for Red-Cockaded Woodpecker habitat on Osceola National Forest for $171,855, August 2024), and water handling and heavy equipment support for wildland fire suppression. Orange Springs also performs occasional GSA and FEMA delivery orders for facility maintenance in Tallahassee and post-disaster recovery work.

Activity has grown substantially in 2026 — fifteen awards year-to-date through July 30, 2026, compared to four to six awards annually from 2022 through 2025 — driven by multiple small delivery orders under existing USDA Forest Service IDVs and new NIFC vehicle awards. Only two awards (combined potential value $589,000) reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, indicating minimal near-term recompete exposure.

Orange Springs operates exclusively as a prime contractor and does not subcontract. SCI-reportable invoiced revenue totaled $621,000 across two records in the dataset (FY2022–FY2024), with 1.6 FTEs in FY2022 declining to 0.1 FTEs in FY2024; this reflects SCI's exclusion of goods and equipment-heavy work that dominates the contractor's actual federal revenue and workforce. The source material indicates the firm maintains multiple indefinite delivery vehicles with combined ceiling values exceeding $15 million across road maintenance, heavy equipment, and forestry services vehicles, suggesting substantially larger operational scope than SCI's $621,000 subset captures. Government-paid hourly rates on SCI-reportable prime contracts ran a median of $183.53/hr, with rates spanning $173.79/hr at the 10th percentile to $193.26/hr at the 90th percentile.
