Utah Region

The Department of the Interior Bureau of Land Management Utah Region is a civilian sub-agency that procures goods and services for land management, resource stewardship, and recreation-area operations across Utah, awarding roughly $321.8 million in contracts cumulatively and administering cooperative agreements for conservation and workforce initiatives.

The Utah Region's contract portfolio spans 4,162 awards since 2001, with $302.4 million obligated against a combined potential value of $321.8 million. Award volume has averaged 109 contracts annually over the last five years, declining modestly to 99 awards in 2025 and 50 year-to-date in 2026. The Region transacts with 1,456 distinct prime contractors, with highly fragmented competition — the top five primes by award count (CXT Inc., Reeder Flying Service Inc., Federal Contracts LLC, SKO Enterprises Inc., and Taylor Made Fencing LLC) hold only 10 percent of recent awards, while the top five by potential value (Global Engineering Services Inc., SWCA Incorporated, CXT Inc., Summitt Forests Inc., and 3B's Forestry Incorporated) account for 5 percent of combined potential value. The procurement base skews toward larger firms without set-aside designation — 58 percent of awards carry no set-aside — while 37 percent are small-business set-asides (predominantly Total Small Business). Fewer than 5 percent of awards use 8(a), SDVOSB, HUBZone, WOSB, or minority-owned enterprise designations.

The grant portfolio comprises 286 cooperative agreements obligating $191.2 million in federal dollars since 2008, with concentrated recipient base. The top five recipients by award count (American Conservation Experience, Utah State University, State of Utah Division of Wildlife Resources, National Experienced Workforce Solutions Inc., and Southern Utah University) account for 53 percent of recent awards; by federal dollars, those five recipients hold 24 percent. State of Utah Division of Wildlife Resources is the dominant federal-dollar recipient at $39.8 million across five awards. Grant volume has been volatile — 29 awards in 2022, 3 in 2023, 29 in 2024, 11 in 2025, and 1 year-to-date in 2026 — suggesting uneven annual appropriations or project-cycle timing.

Recent contract opportunities include hay procurement (Delta WH&B Facility Hay, due October 8, 2026), vault-toilet-pumping services at the Salt Lake Field Office (Total Small Business set-aside, due September 8, 2026), photovoltaic-system renovation (Sand Island, Total Small Business set-aside, due August 28, 2026), and cattleguard purchase (WDD Range, Total Small Business set-aside, due August 20, 2026). The Region awards no recent grant opportunities on record.
