Schmolck Mechanical Contractors Inc.

Schmolck Mechanical Contractors Inc., a self-certified small disadvantaged business based in Ketchikan, Alaska, provides HVAC maintenance, boiler and heating system replacement, plumbing repairs, and mechanical infrastructure support to federal installations across Southeast Alaska as a prime contractor (98% of recent awards), operating almost exclusively on Total Small Business set-asides.

The vendor's customer footprint is heavily concentrated in Alaska federal facilities. The Department of Agriculture Forest Service Region 10 dominates both award volume and dollar value: 94 awards representing $9.5 million combined potential value out of 136 total awards and $10.8 million combined potential value — 88% of all awards and 88% of all dollars. The Department of the Interior National Park Service Alaska Region, the Department of Homeland Security U.S. Coast Guard, the Department of Transportation Federal Aviation Administration, and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration round out the active customer set, but collectively account for less than 10% of the portfolio. This concentration is extreme and sustained: Forest Service work has anchored Schmolck's pipeline for over three decades, with the vendor registered in SAM.gov since at least 1993.

Schmolck's capability portfolio centers on distributed mechanical maintenance and emergency repair across remote Tongass National Forest facilities and other federal installations in Alaska. Representative work includes $189,269.81 in general mechanical maintenance across Tongass facilities under an Option Period 2 delivery order (August 2025); a $263,629.98 delivery order for TNF mechanical maintenance under Option Period 3 (August 2026); a $235,058 blanket purchase agreement call for Tongass mechanical maintenance (September 2022, completed October 2023); and a $26,649 firm fixed-price purchase order from the U.S. Coast Guard for removal and replacement of an existing boiler system at USCG Base Ketchikan (September 2025, completed February 2026). Work spans HVAC system maintenance and repair, boiler and heating equipment replacement, pump station and piping work, plumbing repairs, window and deck replacements, and facility infrastructure upgrades. Place of performance is distributed across Southeast Alaska locations including Juneau, Ketchikan, Sitka, Yakutat, Hoonah, and Wrangell, with administrative oversight at the vendor's Ketchikan headquarters.

Schmolck holds multiple indefinite delivery contracts with Forest Service Region 10 that generate recurring task order activity. The primary vehicle is an IDC (AG0116C130027) with a $1.1 million ceiling and performance through July 31, 2027, which has generated 27 task orders valued at approximately $860 thousand. A second IDC (1240BF23D0021) carries $1.4 million in combined potential value across 24 task orders. A third IDC (AG0116C080021) supports 23 task orders valued at $368 thousand. The vendor also holds a single-award IDC (1240BF23D0021) issued September 30, 2023, with a ceiling of $1,137,212.73 and performance through July 31, 2027 under a Total Small Business set-aside, and operates under a Blanket Purchase Agreement with the Forest Service extending through December 31, 2031. Forest Service delivery orders are priced firm fixed-price and typically target specific facilities or over-and-above maintenance work across ranger districts.

Activity has remained relatively steady: six awards in 2022, six in 2023, twelve in 2024, nine in 2025, and ten in 2026 year-to-date. Seven awards (combined potential value $541 thousand) face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and will require recompete. The vendor's award footprint has obligated $8.4 million of the $10.8 million combined potential value (78% obligation rate), indicating that most named work is either performing or completed.

Schmolck operates almost entirely as a prime contractor; the vendor appears in the source as a sub on only three awards: mechanical work under a Sitka ANT Building roof and window replacement project by prime contractor Weldin Construction LLC (March 2026), mechanical HVAC replacement work under a Red Point Construction LLC prime for the ALCAN flooring project (October 2022), and a low-income contractor sub-award under a Southeast Conference federal grant (October 2025). Service Contract Inventory captures only two records spanning FY2022–FY2024, both below the $150,000 threshold or outside SCI reporting scope, and therefore does not provide reliable insight into the vendor's federal services-contract invoicing or labor trajectory; SCI data is too sparse to characterize workforce scale or hourly-rate posture.

Schmolck is a for-profit Subchapter S corporation registered since 1993 and competes across NAICS codes 238220 (Plumbing, Heating, and Air-Conditioning Contractors), 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction), and 333415 (Air-Conditioning and Warm Air Heating Equipment Manufacturing), with primary PSC codes covering maintenance and repair of plumbing, heating, and waste disposal equipment (62 awards) and maintenance of administrative facilities (39 awards). The vendor's set-aside posture is consistent: 91 of 136 awards (67%) explicitly carry Total Small Business set-aside designations, with the remainder unset or competitive, reflecting a core position on small business vehicles within Forest Service Region 10's procurement structure.
