Wilcox Gravel & Excavating, Inc.

Wilcox Gravel & Excavating, Inc., doing business as Wilcox Gravel & Excavating Inc., is a corporate, for-profit entity based in the Saint Lawrence Seaway region that provides excavation, gravel, and construction services. The company is registered in the System for Award Management (SAM.gov) to receive federal contracts and grants.

Through prime federal contract awards, Wilcox Gravel & Excavating, Inc. has provided temporary crane operator services to the Department of Transportation's Saint Lawrence Seaway Development Corporation. One award was for a short-term purchase order with a $50,000 potential value to supply a temporary crane operator for winter work. This procurement utilized a total small business set-aside designation. The company has also received two Blanket Purchase Agreements (BPAs) from the same agency to provide indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity crane operator services on an as-needed or emergency basis in support of the agency's operations along the Saint Lawrence Seaway. No set-asides were used for these BPAs, which were each structured as single award contracts with potential values of $20,000.

Both of the BPAs held by Wilcox Gravel & Excavating, Inc. were awarded by the Department of Transportation Saint Lawrence Seaway Development Corporation. These agreements establish master terms and conditions for the company to provide on-call crane operation support services through defined ordering periods. The first BPA covered the period from October 2020 through April 2021, while the second has an ordering window from the February 2022 award date through April 2022. Under these BPAs, Wilcox Gravel & Excavating, Inc. supplies crane operators to perform tasks like loading/unloading cargo vessels, lifting infrastructure components, positioning heavy equipment, and supporting maintenance and construction activities for the agency's Saint Lawrence Seaway facilities. The recurrent award of these vehicle types indicates an ongoing need for the agency to access Wilcox's crane operation capabilities through streamlined processes.
