Russell Long

Russell Long, doing business as Russell Long Dover And Grader Services, a sole proprietorship based in Sieper, Louisiana, provides road maintenance and construction services to the U.S. Forest Service as a prime contractor under total small business set-asides. The vendor operates exclusively on small-business-reserved work and holds no subcontractor role; all 134 recent awards are prime awards.

Russell Long's customer footprint is concentrated with a single federal agency. The Department of Agriculture Forest Service R8-Southern Region accounts for 72 awards (55% of all awards by count and 80% of combined potential value) representing $7.9 million, with an additional two awards from the broader Forest Service totaling $77 thousand. This concentration reflects Russell Long's deep position as a preferred contractor for Kisatchie National Forest road maintenance and construction across Louisiana's five ranger districts: Calcasieu, Caney, Catahoula, Kisatchie, and Winn, with administrative oversight at Kisatchie National Forest Headquarters in Pineville.

The vendor's capability portfolio centers on federally-regulated road maintenance and construction work. Service Contract Act-covered services include blading aggregate roads, spot surface repair, ditch cleaning and reshaping, cattle guard cleaning, roadside mowing, seeding and fertilizing, hazard tree removal, and machine-placed riprap. Davis-Bacon Act-covered construction services encompass road reconstruction, slide removal and slump repair, ditch reconstruction, culvert replacement in 18-inch, 24-inch, and 36-inch diameters, and riprap placement. Work is governed by both labor statutes and incorporates mandatory FAR 52.222-90 DEI compliance. Recent task orders include a $149,971 delivery order awarded July 6, 2026, for Kisatchie District road maintenance services with completion October 31, 2026; a $50,000 order from September 2025 for road maintenance in Natchitoches; and a $63,439 order from December 2023 for road maintenance and construction at Provencal. Top NAICS categories are Support Activities for Forestry (126 awards) and Highway, Street, and Bridge Construction (8 awards).

Russell Long holds five active indefinite delivery contracts with the Forest Service. Two newly awarded IDCs—both issued June 23, 2026, and valued at $1.5 million each through May 14, 2031—cover Kisatchie District and Calasieu District road maintenance and construction services respectively. An August 2023 IDC valued at $1.248 million ran through March 2026 with extensions available through March 2028; against this vehicle, the vendor has executed four delivery orders totaling approximately $171 thousand. Three earlier IDCs (AG447UC060024, AG447UC060020, and AG447UC140003) collectively generated 77 task orders worth $2.3 million. Activity has remained modest over the past five years—one award in 2022, three in 2023, one in 2024, one in 2025, and three in 2026—with only one award ($149,971 potential value) facing completion in the next twenty-four months.
