Okie LLC

Okie LLC, doing business as Wickham Pipeline Construction, is a veteran-owned sole proprietorship based in Hagerman, Idaho that operates exclusively as a prime contractor delivering construction, repair, and maintenance services to the Department of the Interior Fish and Wildlife Service under Total Small Business set-asides, with 100% of its federal award footprint (92 awards) in the prime role and zero subcontract activity.

Okie LLC's customer concentration is extreme: 87% of awards (by count) funnel through the Department of the Interior Fish and Wildlife Service, split across regional offices and headquarters. The top-customer split reveals a critical concentration in the $250 million Great American Outdoors Act MATOC anchored by DOI Fish and Wildlife Service Region 9 Headquarters (1 award, $250 million ceiling), which dwarfs all other activity by dollar magnitude. The vendor also holds a $45 million Alternate Repair MATOC with the same agency. Beneath those IDV umbrellas sit 48 task orders from DOI Fish and Wildlife Service Region 1 ($46.3 million combined potential value) and 25 orders from the broader Department of the Interior Fish and Wildlife Service ($56.4 million). The remaining customer base—DOI National Park Service, DOI Fish and Wildlife Service Regions 3, 5, and 7—represents 13% of awards by count and minimal dollar exposure. Combined potential value across all 92 awards reaches $354.6 million, with only $38.2 million obligated to date (11% realization), a signal that the vendor is anchored to ceilings rather than consuming dollars at scale.

Concrete capability work centers on fish hatchery and wildlife refuge infrastructure: dredging and sediment removal (approximately 2,600 cubic yards from waste ponds at Sawtooth Fish Hatchery, $402,012, August 2026); intake structure rehabilitation (river north intake rehabilitation at Ridgefield National Wildlife Refuge, $4.39 million, April 2025); holding pond construction (McCall Fish Hatchery holding pond work, $840,274.72, June 2025); valve and pump replacement (valve removal and replacement at Marmes Well Pump Site, $1.29 million, July 2023); water filtration system rehabilitation ($385,851.58, September 2023); rearing vat construction (Clearwater National Fish Hatchery early rearing vats, $178,341.80, September 2023); and facility repairs including roof replacement, generator installation, and backup generator installation. Work spans Washington, Oregon, Idaho, and Hawaii, with performance periods typically firm fixed-price and ranging from 90 days to 18 months. All work is set-aside for Total Small Business except for a small number of full-and-open orders ($1.97 million egg incubation room addition at Lookingglass National Fish Hatchery, $40,000 pipeline repair at Hagerman National Fish Hatchery, and several other minor non-set-aside delivery orders).

Activity has contracted recently: five awards in 2022, 10 in 2023, seven in 2024, five in 2025, and four in 2026 year-to-date, reflecting a downward trajectory from the 2023 peak. Four awards (combined potential value $9 million) reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, representing recompete exposure. On the SCI-reportable side, the vendor invoiced $15.6 million across FY2022–FY2025 ($1.9 million FY2022, $5.9 million FY2023, $4 million FY2024, $3.8 million FY2025), with FTE trajectory ranging from 0.7 FTEs in FY2022 to 3.9 in FY2024 and 3.6 in FY2025. Government-paid hourly rates on SCI contracts span a median of $942.89/hr with senior labor through $4,200.21/hr at the 90th percentile, reflecting field supervision and equipment-operation roles typical of construction service delivery.

The vendor operates as a pure prime: 100% of awards are prime contracts or IDVs, with zero subcontract activity. Across SCI-reportable prime contracts, named subcontractors averaged just 4% of total contractor hours (one named sub across the dataset), confirming that Okie LLC builds and executes its own delivery crews rather than relying on sub networks. The company holds two standing IDVs with DOI Fish and Wildlife Service—the $250 million Great American Outdoors Act MATOC (January 1, 2022, ultimate completion June 30, 2027) and a $45 million Alternate Repair MATOC—both set-aside for small businesses and both anchoring the majority of recent task-order volume. NAICS concentration is heavy in Commercial and Institutional Building Construction (56 awards) and Water and Sewer Line and Related Structures Construction (10 awards), with primary PSC coding split between Construction of Office Buildings (32 awards) and Construction of Other Non-Building Facilities (7 awards), though the award descriptions and scope consistently characterize the work as fish hatchery and wildlife refuge maintenance and infrastructure repair rather than general building construction.
