Walt Myers Construction

Walt Myers Construction, a small-business sole proprietorship based in Merna, Nebraska, operates as a prime contractor on roadway and infrastructure construction and maintenance projects for the Department of Agriculture Forest Service's Rocky Mountain Region (Region 2), exclusively under small-business set-asides and full-and-open competitions. The company competes predominantly under small-business set-aside designations across its prime footprint.

Walt Myers Construction specializes in forest-service infrastructure development — road construction, resurfacing, maintenance blading, embankment work, and recreation-complex improvements on federal lands in Nebraska. Representative work includes a $459,638 Total Small Business definitive contract awarded June 25, 2026, for roadway embankment construction on Whitetail Road 224 in Halsey, Nebraska, involving 2,420 cubic yards of aggregate compaction and geogrid placement over a 1.7-mile segment (performance July 13 through October 30, 2026); a $153,280 Great American Outdoors Act small-business set-aside contract awarded September 21, 2022, for Circle Road 203 resurfacing in Halsey (completed September 2023); and a $344,236 definitive contract awarded October 1, 2023, for roadway construction, geotextile installation, mudrock placement, and erosion control at Halsey (completed December 2023). The company also performs ongoing road maintenance blading on multiple Forest Service roads in Thomas County, Nebraska, under small-business purchase orders and has delivered recreation-complex improvements, including concrete sidewalk demolition and installation at Bessey Recreation Complex under GAOA funding.

Customer concentration is absolute — the Department of Agriculture Forest Service Rocky Mountain Region represents 100% of awarded work (38 of 56 total awards, $3.1 million combined potential value). Walt Myers Construction places task orders under Forest Service Blanket Purchase Agreements AG65T0B090001 (10 task orders), AG65T0B100001 (3 task orders), and four additional BPAs carrying smaller order counts. Work is performed exclusively in Nebraska, centered on the Bessey Ranger District and Halsey area. The vendor's award portfolio spans twenty years (first award September 2006) and carries $3.8 million in combined potential value with $3.7 million obligated (96% obligation rate). Activity has been episodic — one award in 2021, three in 2022, two in 2023, one in 2025, and three in 2026 — with two awards (combined potential value $632 thousand) reaching completion within the next twenty-four months. NAICS characterization reflects the construction footprint: Water and Sewer Line and Related Structures Construction (29 awards) dominates the portfolio, followed by Highway, Street, and Bridge Construction (16 awards, encompassing the company's core road-focused capability), with subsidiary activity in water supply and irrigation systems, commercial building, and concrete foundations.
