R.o.t Ranch Construction, Inc.

R.o.t Ranch Construction, Inc., a for-profit Subchapter S corporation based in Lake Butler and Sanderson, Florida, delivers road maintenance, infrastructure construction, heavy equipment rental, and emergency response support to the USDA Forest Service and related federal land-management agencies exclusively as a prime contractor under total small business set-asides and full-and-open competition.

The vendor operates with 100% prime positioning across 123 awards (zero subcontract work) and serves a highly concentrated customer base. The Department of Agriculture Forest Service Southern Region (USDA Forest Service R8) dominates the footprint: 89 awards valued at $24.2 million combined potential value represent 73% of all awards and 85% of all dollars. The remaining customer concentration splits among the broader USDA Forest Service organization (14 awards, $2 million), the National Interagency Fire Center (6 awards, $1.5 million), and the National Park Service Southeast Region (3 awards, $297 thousand). This concentration reflects the vendor's specialized focus on southeastern national forest land management.

R.o.t Ranch Construction's capability portfolio is defined by its award history: road maintenance and stabilization (Support Activities for Forestry NAICS accounts for 70 of 123 awards), culvert replacement and drainage control, heavy equipment rental for wildland fire suppression and incident response, and boat ramp repaving. Recent representative work includes a $220,800 total small business delivery order from Forest Service R8 for road maintenance and culvert replacement at Apalachicola, Ocala, and Osceola National Forests (awarded April 1, 2026, completion May 18, 2026); a $1,058,483.64 total small business definitive contract for Briar Patch Road Maintenance in the Apalachicola National Forest covering soil erosion control, culvert installation, low-water crossing construction, and aggregate placement (awarded July 19, 2022, completion February 17, 2024); and a $335,632.99 delivery order for road construction and maintenance projects within the Apalachicola National Forest (awarded September 2, 2024, completion May 30, 2025). Work is performed throughout the southeastern region, with primary performance locations in Tallahassee, Bristol, Crawfordville, and Sanderson, Florida.

The vendor holds five active indefinite delivery contracts totaling $15.25 million in combined ceiling value. Two $5 million single-award small business set-aside road-maintenance IDCs with the Forest Service Southern Region extend through April 2028 (awarded April 2023); four $250,000 small business set-aside IDCs for heavy equipment rental through the National Interagency Fire Center's Violent Crime Reduction Program Incident Blanket Purchase Agreement (VIPR I-BPA) framework run through April 2029, with awards in May 2024, April 2024, May 2024, and February 2026. The top five parent vehicles (AG4283C140003, AG4283C090004, 1202SB24T7084, 12428318D0003, and 12445223D0003) collectively account for 55 task orders and $5.6 million in combined potential value. Task orders against these vehicles run from $7,400 to $335,633 and typically carry firm fixed-price terms and completion dates of 30 to 120 days.

Activity has remained relatively stable in the past five years: five awards in 2022, 13 in 2023, eight in 2024, seven in 2025, and seven in 2026 year-to-date. Combined potential value across all 123 awards is $28.5 million, with $10.5 million obligated to date (37% of potential). Eleven awards with ultimate completion dates in the next twenty-four months carry combined potential value of approximately $1.2 million and face recompete. SCI-reportable invoicing covered three prime service contracts between FY2022 and FY2024, capturing $76 thousand in FY2022, $1.1 million in FY2023, and zero in FY2024, with a median government-paid hourly rate around $288.51/hr across the reported period and no subcontractor engagement recorded in SCI. The vendor competes predominantly under total small business set-asides, with roughly 40% of recent awards designated as set-aside and the remainder full-and-open.
