The Department of the Interior Fish and Wildlife Service Region 6 awarded a purchase order to La Pequena Compania LLC (Atomic Carrots Division), a minority-owned, woman-owned small disadvantaged business, on September 22, 2026, for $44,700 to design, fabricate, and deliver fourteen interpretive panels and support mounts for Charles M. Russell National Wildlife Refuge near Roy, Montana. This is a Total Small Business set-aside, firm fixed price acquisition.
Work includes content development, graphic design, illustration, interpretive text writing, photograph rights documentation, and fabrication of 36-by-48-inch exterior-grade panels with high-density printing on high-pressure laminate or aluminum substrate, paired with rust-free aluminum T-style and double-leg support mounts. Panels must withstand freezing temperatures to minus 30 degrees Fahrenheit and 60 mile-per-hour winds and carry a 10-year warranty. Performance occurs in Roy, Montana, with delivery due April 1, 2027, within 12 months of award. Payment is structured across four milestones tied to design development, pre-final design, fabrication samples, and project closeout.
