Stalnaker Transport & Construction LLC

Stalnaker Transport & Construction LLC, a Montana-based limited liability company, operates exclusively as a prime contractor delivering road and bridge construction, culvert replacement, and heavy equipment services to the U.S. Forest Service across all 158 federal awards in the source. The firm competes predominantly under small-business set-asides, with the majority of awards designated Total Small Business.

The vendor's capability footprint centers on national-forest infrastructure maintenance and emergency response. Core competencies include road reconditioning and resurfacing, culvert installation and replacement, bridge repairs, campground and trailhead improvements, forest engineering, and the provision of heavy equipment (dozers, excavators, feller bunchers) and water-handling resources for fire suppression and all-hazard incident response. Representative prime delivery orders include a $832,617 firm fixed-price contract for Stillwater River area repairs on the Custer Gallatin National Forest awarded in April 2024, a $784,240 Great American Outdoors Act award for Aspen Grove Campground improvements on the Helena-Lewis and Clark National Forest in September 2023, and a $700,000 Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act contract for Shields River Yellowstone Cutthroat Trout passage and Red Lodge Creek aquatic organism passage awarded in May 2023. Three recent delivery orders—valued at $26,944, $565,603, and $31,004 respectively—were issued under a newly awarded $50 million Region 1 Road and Bridge Construction MATOC in 2026, demonstrating continued engagement on the vendor's core vehicle.

Customer concentration is extreme: the Department of Agriculture Forest Service R1-Northern Region accounts for 132 of 158 awards (88% of award count) and $184.1 million of the $186.8 million combined potential value (99%). The National Interagency Fire Center placed 6 awards totaling $1.5 million. The vendor has worked with only three distinct federal agencies. The two top-customer rankings align completely, indicating no tension between volume and dollar magnitude—the Northern Region is the dominant customer across both metrics.

Stalnaker holds seat on five multiple-award indefinite delivery vehicles anchoring its pipeline. The $50 million Region 1 Road and Bridge Construction MATOC (awarded December 2024, completing December 2029) carries three task orders as of June 2026. A $50 million Region 1–Region 4 Forest Engineering and Road Maintenance Blanket Purchase Agreement (awarded October 2023, running through August 2033) is designated 100% small-business set-aside under NAICS 237310. Three additional IDCs with the National Interagency Fire Center, each valued at $250,000 and awarded in 2023 and 2025–2026, procure water-handling services and heavy equipment for fire suppression across East Zone Regions 1, 2, 4, and 9. The five largest parent vehicles by task-order count—spanning multiple Forest Service region contracts—carry combined task-order counts of 73 and combined potential value of $6.7 million.

Activity trajectory has decelerated. The vendor received nine awards in 2022, six in 2023, four in 2024, one in 2025, and five in 2026 year to date. Only three awards totaling $624,000 in combined potential value carry ultimate completion dates within the next twenty-four months, presenting minimal near-term recompete exposure. The vendor's award history extends to July 2004, and it has accumulated $186.8 million in combined potential value across all awards, with only $10.5 million (6%) obligated as of the source date—a characteristic posture for large IDVs and BPAs that anchor pipeline but draw down gradually through task orders.

Service Contract Inventory reporting captures a subset of the vendor's federal services work. SCI-reported invoiced revenue totaled $1.7 million across FY2023–FY2024 ($26 thousand in FY2023 and $1.6 million in FY2024), with median government-paid hourly rates running around $6,699/hr on prime contracts, spanning $2,404/hr at the tenth percentile through $10,993/hr at the ninety-fifth percentile. The vendor delivered an estimated 0.3 FTEs on SCI-reportable prime contracts in FY2024. SCI data reflects only a narrow window of the vendor's federal footprint and does not capture the bulk of its Forest Service delivery-order revenue tied to goods and heavy construction work excluded from the SCI reporting threshold.
