Wyoming Region

The Department of the Interior Bureau of Land Management Wyoming Region is a civilian sub-agency that procures and funds land management, recreation, and environmental stewardship services across Wyoming's public lands. The Wyoming Region administers both federal contracts for operational and maintenance services and grants to support conservation, wildlife, and rangeland management through cooperative partnerships.

Contract activity is steady and broad-based. The Wyoming Region has awarded 2,997 federal contracts since 2003, with combined potential value of $191.5 million and $181.3 million obligated (95% of potential value). Recent contract volume has declined slightly: 85 awards in 2022, 56 in 2023, 95 in 2024, 77 in 2025, and 40 year-to-date in 2026. The most recent recorded award date is September 25, 2026. Contract competition is highly fragmented: the top five award-count primes hold only 16% of recent awards. Cartridge Technologies, LLC leads by award count with 27 awards over the last five years but carries only $569 thousand in combined potential value. McDaniel Farms Inc. leads by potential value with 8 awards and $4 million combined potential value, followed by Provizion LLC with $1.3 million and Federal Contracts LLC with $1.2 million across fewer awards. The remaining 1,232 distinct primes are scattered across single and occasional awards. Set-asides are split almost evenly: 52% of awards use no set-aside, while 45% are designated Total Small Business; 8(a) sole-source awards account for 2%, with HUBZone, EDWOSB, SDVOSB, and other specialized designations collectively at 1%.

Grant activity is concentrated and growing. The Wyoming Region has awarded 275 grants totaling $76.1 million in federal dollars obligated since 2013, with combined federal and non-federal share of $86.9 million. Recent grant cadence shows acceleration: 17 awards in 2021, 19 in 2022, 34 in 2023, 28 in 2024, and 38 in 2025. All awards are Cooperative Agreements. Grant recipients are moderately concentrated: the top five recipients by award count hold 43% of recent awards. University of Wyoming leads by award count with 21 awards and $1.3 million obligated, followed by Game & Fish Commission Wyoming with 12 awards and $1.9 million. By federal dollars, Big Horn County Weed & Pest District leads with 4 awards and $2.5 million, followed by Carbon County Weed And Pest with $2.1 million across 3 awards. The top five by federal dollars hold 12% of recent dollars, indicating a long tail of 66 other recipients managing conservation and resource work. Recipients include university partners, county weed and pest management districts, and conservation corps organizations.
