S & K Grading

S & K Grading is a for-profit corporate entity located in Anza, California, specializing in heavy equipment services and land management support primarily for the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Forest Service. The company provides comprehensive grading, road maintenance, and equipment operation services, with a particular focus on supporting wildland fire suppression and incident response activities across multiple Forest Service regions. While limited background information is available, the company has demonstrated a consistent capability to deliver critical infrastructure and emergency response support through its specialized heavy equipment and operator services.

The company has been awarded numerous federal contract delivery orders, consistently working with the Forest Service's Pacific Southwest Region (Region 5) to perform grading services in various California locations including San Bernardino, Yreka, and Lake Elsinore. These contracts, typically firm fixed-price delivery orders ranging from $20,000 to $146,000, involve operating road graders and other heavy equipment to grade roads and support land management activities. The delivery orders have not utilized specific set-aside designations, though S & K Grading has been awarded contracts as a small business. The work consistently supports forest management, fire prevention, and incident response programs, with contract values collectively totaling over $800,000 in recent years.

S & K Grading holds multiple Indefinite Delivery Contracts (IDCs) with the National Interagency Fire Center, each valued at $250,000 and set aside for small businesses. These IDCs cover multiple Forest Service regions, specifically Regions 3, 5, and 6, and provide for the rental of miscellaneous heavy equipment including feller bunchers, mulchers, masticators, road graders, dozers, excavators, and skidders. The contracts are designed to support wildland fire suppression, all-hazard incident response, and land management activities. Additional consideration is given to service-disabled veteran-owned and HUBZone small businesses under these contract vehicles. Task orders issued against these IDCs have been consistently used to procure grading and equipment operation services, demonstrating S & K Grading's strategic positioning in supporting critical federal land management and emergency response infrastructure.
