Ridge2River Construction LLC

Ridge2River Construction LLC, a women-owned small business headquartered in Soap Lake, Washington, delivers bridge and trail construction, road reconstruction, and geotechnical services to the federal government as a prime contractor (100% of awards) operating predominantly under small-business set-asides and total small business designations. The vendor holds SBA certifications as an economically disadvantaged women-owned small business (EDWOSB) and women-owned small business (WOSB), and holds a secondary certification as an 8(a) program participant and HUBZone firm, enabling competition across multiple small-business contracting vehicles.

Ridge2River's customer concentration is extreme: the Department of Agriculture Forest Service Region 6 (Pacific Northwest Region) accounts for 40 awards (82% of the award count) and $38.1 million (97.5% of combined potential value) across the visible footprint. Smaller engagement with Forest Service regions 1, 4, and 5 (Northern, Intermountain, and Pacific Southwest) and the Bureau of Land Management Oregon-Washington office comprises the remainder of the distinct customer set. The vendor's work is geographically anchored to the Pacific Northwest and northern California, with place-of-performance locations across Oregon, Washington, Idaho, and northern Nevada on trail, bridge, and road infrastructure projects funded through the Great American Outdoors Act (GAOA), the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA), and emergency relief appropriations.

Capability portfolio centers on prefabricated and steel-truss bridge construction and replacement; timber bridge deck repair and replacement; trail bridge restoration; geotechnical drilling; road deck replacement; and road and bridge demolition and obliteration. Representative prime work includes a $1.52 million 8(a) sole-source definitive contract with Forest Service Region 6 for Still Creek Bridge construction in Rhododendron, Oregon (ultimate completion November 12, 2025); a $1.77 million firm fixed-price contract for Boundary Dam East Side Trail Construction in Metaline Falls, Washington, with work spanning trail restoration, erosion control, blasting, and steel truss bridge and boardwalk installation (ultimate completion August 29, 2025); and a $994,555 contract for construction of a 160-foot prefabricated steel truss pedestrian bridge on reinforced concrete abutments in McKenzie Bridge, Oregon (completed January 15, 2024). Recent work under a $25 million single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract awarded August 26, 2024 (ultimate completion April 30, 2028, set aside for total small business) includes a $574,800 delivery order for removal and replacement of four failed log stringer bridges at Mount Hood with refabricated steel girder trail bridges and cedar decking; a $391,375 order for Fern View Bridge Deck Replacement in Sweet Home, Oregon; and a $163,150 order for Dog River and Sahalie Falls trail bridge replacements in Parkdale, Oregon.

The vendor's primary parent vehicle is Indefinite Delivery Contract 1240BH24D0036, which carries 6 task orders and $1.8 million in combined potential value; a second IDC (1205G119D0007) supports 5 task orders valued at $633 thousand. Ridge2River competes predominantly under total small business and 8(a) sole-source set-asides; full-and-open awards (41% of the recent award count) occur when Forest Service Region 6 determines the vendor's qualifications warrant unrestricted competition on non-set-aside orders, as seen on the $391,375 Fern View Bridge Deck Replacement and other recent delivery orders. Set-aside posture has remained consistent across the visible activity window — 8(a) sole source and competitive 8(a) dominate definitive contracts and earlier awards, while full-and-open delivery orders have increased in frequency on the recent $25 million IDC.

Activity trajectory shows volatility year over year (7 awards in 2022, declining to 4 in 2023, 6 in 2024, 5 in 2025, and 2 year-to-date in 2026), with 49 total awards in the source footprint and $39 million in combined potential value. Within the next twenty-four months, 3 awards (combined potential value $844 thousand) reach ultimate completion, presenting modest recompete exposure relative to the $25 million IDC ceiling active through April 2028. Ridge2River operates as a 100% prime contractor with no subcontract footprint in the source data; across SCI-reportable service contracts (FY2022–FY2024), the vendor invoiced $5.8 million in aggregate ($316 thousand in FY2022, $3.4 million in FY2023, and $2.1 million in FY2024) and delivered roughly 2.2–2.3 FTEs on federal construction and geotechnical services. Government-paid hourly rates for federal SCI-reportable work ranged from $201.40 per hour at the tenth percentile to a median of $951.13 per hour and $1,303.05 per hour at the ninetieth percentile, reflecting a labor mix spanning equipment operators, project managers, and specialized geotechnical and construction personnel. The vendor subcontracts minimally on SCI-reportable contracts, averaging 1% sub-hours share and engaging only 2 named subcontractors across the SCI dataset.
