Price Contracting Inc.

Price Contracting Inc., a veteran-owned small business based in Stevensville, Montana, executes road and bridge infrastructure construction, maintenance, and emergency response services exclusively as a prime contractor to the U.S. Forest Service and National Interagency Fire Center under total small business set-asides. The company operates across Forest Service Regions 1 and 4 and subordinate Forest Service locations throughout the western United States, delivering concrete capabilities in road construction and resurfacing, bridge and culvert replacement, drainage improvements, recreational site enhancements, and heavy equipment task force provision for fire suppression and disaster response.

Price Contracting's customer concentration is heavily weighted to the Department of Agriculture Forest Service. The top five funding entities account for 79% of awards by count and 97% by potential value, dominated by Forest Service Region 1 (Northern Region) with 200 awards valued at $245.3 million in combined potential. Forest Service Research Service Rocky Mountain Research Station ranks second by dollars at $71.5 million across six awards, followed by Region 4 (Intermountain) with 29 awards and $20.5 million, Region 2 (Rocky Mountain) with four awards and $20.4 million, and the National Interagency Fire Center with thirteen awards and $4.3 million. This concentration reflects the vendor's specialized positioning in federal infrastructure maintenance and fire suppression support rather than diversified federal contracting.

Price Contracting holds ten active Indefinite Delivery Vehicles with combined ceiling value exceeding $171.5 million. The primary vehicles include two $50 million Multiple Award Task Order Contracts—one for Region 1 Road and Bridge Construction Services (awarded December 16, 2024, ultimate completion December 15, 2029) and one for Region 4 Road and Bridge Construction Services (awarded May 15, 2025, ultimate completion April 30, 2030), both set aside for total small business. The vendor also holds a $50 million Blanket Purchase Agreement for Region 1–Region 4 Forest Engineering and Road Maintenance (awarded October 2, 2023, ultimate completion August 31, 2033) and a $20 million single-award contract for Region 1 Road Maintenance and Forest Maintenance/Support Services (awarded September 30, 2025, ultimate completion September 29, 2030). Five Virtual Incident Procurement Incident Blanket Purchase Agreements for heavy equipment task force support—fuel tenders, dozers, excavators, and miscellaneous equipment for fire suppression across East Zone regions—carry individual ceilings of $250,000 to $500,000, all set aside for total small business and awarded in 2023 through February 2026.

Recent named contract work exemplifies Price Contracting's delivery scope. The vendor received a $3.78 million definitive contract from Forest Service Region 4 (September 29, 2025) for roadway reconditioning and aggregate surfacing on Forest Service Road 101 in the Salmon-Challis National Forest spanning 7 miles, including material mining, aggregate crushing, and environmental compliance. On the Region 1 side, Price Contracting executed a $2.09 million delivery order (March 21, 2024) for Red Lodge Area Bridge Replacements and Road Repairs spanning bridge replacement and road repair across a disaster-supplemental funding authorization. A $1.97 million delivery order (July 28, 2022) covered reconstruction of the Redfish Lake to Stanley Trail in Stanley, Idaho, under the Federal Highway Administration vehicle. Under the Region 1 MATOC, a $1.625 million delivery order (August 1, 2025) funds FLTP Copper Creek Road Improvements on the Lewis & Clark National Forest in Lincoln, Montana, with completion targeted October 1, 2026.

Activity has grown modestly in recent years—20 awards in 2023 to 23 in 2024, then 18 in 2025 and 19 in 2026, with two awards recorded as of July 2027 in the source. Twenty awards with ultimate completion dates in the next twenty-four months carry combined potential value of $14.9 million, presenting recompete exposure on those vehicles. The vendor's total award count stands at 348 primes with no sub-award activity, reflecting Price Contracting's operational model as a prime-only contractor delivering work with in-house crews.

SCI-reported federal service contract activity shows invoiced revenue of $25.2 million across FY2022–FY2025. Invoicing grew year over year: $3.6 million in FY2022, $5.2 million in FY2023, $7.0 million in FY2024, and $9.4 million in FY2025. The vendor's SCI-reported FTE trajectory shows corresponding growth from 3.1 FTEs in FY2022 to 7.4 FTEs in FY2025. On federal services contracts captured in SCI, median government-paid rates ran around $491/hr, with 10th-percentile labor at $196/hr and 90th-percentile labor through $1,461/hr, reflecting a mix of equipment operators, skilled labor, and supervisory roles. Across SCI-reportable prime contracts, subcontractors accounted for an average of 6% of total contractor hours, with ten named subcontractors appearing in the SCI dataset, though Price Contracting's award history shows zero sub-awards and exclusively prime execution.

Price Contracting's capability footprint centers on western National Forest infrastructure maintenance and emergency response. The vendor has delivered over 50 prime federal contract awards since 2003 registration, spanning road construction, reconstruction, resurfacing, and maintenance; bridge replacement and repair; culvert installation and aquatic passage; drainage improvements; recreational infrastructure enhancements; and heavy equipment task force provision for fire suppression and all-hazard incident response. Funding sources include the Great American Outdoors Act, Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, Disaster Supplemental Funding, and base Forest Service appropriations.
