National Office

The Department of the Interior Bureau of Land Management National Office, a civilian sub-agency within the Interior Department, administers federal contract and grant programs supporting public-lands stewardship, including wildlife management, infrastructure maintenance, law enforcement, and natural-resource planning across BLM-managed acreage and facilities nationwide.

BLM closed 618 contract awards in 2022, 551 in 2023, 472 in 2024, 416 in 2025, and 232 year-to-date in 2026, reflecting a declining trend in recent award velocity. The portfolio spans 11,775 total federal contract awards since 1999, with combined potential value of $4.16 billion and $3.63 billion obligated to date. The most recent award closed on October 15, 2026. Across 2,159 distinct prime contractors, contract concentration is highly fragmented: the top five primes by award count (Aarcher, Inc.; Countertrade Products, Inc.; Cattoor Livestock Roundup, Inc.; Rural/Metro Fire Dept., Inc.; and Premier Data Services Inc.) hold just 12 percent of recent awards. By potential value, fragmentation persists even more starkly—Accenture Federal Services LLC leads at $144 million across 15 awards over the last five years, but the top five vendors by value account for only 5 percent of combined potential value, signaling heavy transactional activity through small, dispersed awards. Eighty-one percent of awards carry no set-aside designation; small-business set-asides account for 16 percent, with 8(a) sole-source awards comprising 1 percent and all other socioeconomic categories (SDVOSB, HUBZone, WOSB, EDWOSB, ISBEE) together totaling less than 1 percent.

BLM obligated $240.7 million in federal grant dollars across 432 total grants since 2008, closing 21 grants in 2021, 82 in 2022, 85 in 2023, 75 in 2024, and 51 in 2025. The most recent grant award closed on December 2, 2025. All 432 grants are structured as Cooperative Agreements. Grant recipients are concentrated: the top five recipients by award count account for 42 percent of recent grants, led by National Experienced Workforce Solutions, Inc. (102 awards, $13.2 million federal dollars), University of Wyoming (6 awards, $1.4 million), American Conservation Experience (5 awards, $716 thousand), The Nature Conservancy (5 awards, $11.8 million), and Bureau of Land Management Foundation (4 awards, $28.1 million). By federal dollars obligated, concentration is more moderate at 26 percent: BLM Foundation leads at $28.1 million, followed by National Experienced Workforce Solutions at $13.2 million, The Nature Conservancy at $11.8 million, Utah State University at $5.1 million, and Oregon State University at $3.3 million.

Recent contract opportunities span law enforcement equipment (Teledyne FLIR thermal binoculars, Axon TASER 10 systems), wild-horse and wild-burro corral services across multiple western states, real estate and warehouse leasing (Milwaukee warehouse space, 20-year term with 15-year firm lease and 120-day termination rights post-expiry), forest health and stewardship work, livestock water-well infrastructure, and IT services (mine-mill cost software, IMPLAN licenses).
